(55mm) thick, on or off the guide rail. This is a cordless track saw built for finish carpenters, cabinet installers, and remodelers who need table-saw-quality cuts without hauling a table saw — or a cord — to the cut. It replaces SKU 576717, and the headline change is the battery setup: where the previous generation ran on two 18V batteries, the TSC 55 KS runs on a single battery and still matches or exceeds that saw's cutting performance when paired with Festool's TBX 8 Tabless Battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting depth ranges from 0 to 2-1\/8-in. (0 to 55mm), and bevel adjustment runs from -1 to 47 degrees, covering everything from flush trims to compound bevel work. The included blade is a newly designed 1\/16-in. (1.6mm) thin-kerf blade — thinner than a standard circular saw blade — which means the motor removes less material per pass. On a cordless saw, that translates directly into more cuts per charge and less strain pulling the saw through hardwood or thick sheet stock. A brushless EC-TEC motor and Festool's power electronics run the idle speed from 3,500 to 5,200 RPM depending on load, so the saw doesn't blindly spin at full speed through easy cuts and burn through the battery unnecessarily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo design details set this saw apart from a standard cordless circular saw. First, the motor housing is slimmer than the previous generation and stays within the width of the guide rail, so the saw doesn't catch on clamps or overhang the material edge as you push it through a cut — a small detail that matters when you're working close to a wall or a stack of material. Second, a dual-pointer depth-of-cut scale reads accurately whether the saw is running freehand or riding the guide rail, so there's no parallax error to account for and no need to re-zero the scale when switching between the two setups. The FastFix spindle lock also makes blade changes quick, and the saw's compact design lets it rest securely on its side for an easier blade swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKickbackStop is a sensor-based system on this saw that reacts almost instantly to help arrest the motor and blade if the saw binds or kicks back during a cut, then resets quickly so you're not stopped for long. A transparent sight window keeps the blade visible during the cut for better line-following, and the dust bag included in the box empties easily between cuts; swap it for a hose connection to a Festool dust extractor and the saw can trigger the extractor's Bluetooth auto-start the instant you pull the trigger, so the vacuum is already running before the blade touches the material. A retrofittable LED light is available separately to light up the cutline in dim conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSystem compatibility runs through Festool's 18V battery platform and guide rail ecosystem. The saw is optimized for the TBX 8 Tabless Battery but also runs on the standard 5.0Ah Li-HighPower battery, and it works with Festool's FS guide rails in multiple lengths, along with splinterguards, worktables, and angle guides for repeatable setups. Blade changes use standard 160mm circular saw blades, so swapping in a blade suited for laminate, aluminum, or a diamond blade for tile is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis saw is built for anyone who needs a portable, precise alternative to a table saw or a corded circular saw — cabinet installers cutting sheet stock on site, trim carpenters breaking down material for a run of doors, and remodeling crews who need clean cuts on countertops or wall cladding without running an extension cord across a job site. If your work is mostly rough framing where a standard corded circular saw already gets the job done, the guide rail system and thin-kerf precision here are more capability than you need — but for finish-level cuts on sheet goods and hardwood, this is the tool that removes the table saw from the truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-whats-included\" class=\"acc\" open\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tnincluded-wrapper\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Festool TSC 55 KS Cordless Track Saw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) WOOD FINE CUT Saw Blade (HW 160x1.6x20 FWWW35)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Dust Collection Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Splinterguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) 5mm Hex Key\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Systainer SYS3 M 337 Storage Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"included-note\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a bare-tool listing — batteries, charger, and guide rail are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-key-specifications\" class=\"acc\" open\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003ctable class=\"aplusspecs\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/depth.svg\" alt=\"depth\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Cutting Depth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 – 2-1\/8 in (0 – 55 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/angle.svg\" alt=\"angle\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Bevel Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-1° to 47°\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/diameter.svg\" alt=\"diameter\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Blade Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-1\/4 in (160 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/speed.svg\" alt=\"speed\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e No-Load Speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,500 – 5,200 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/voltage.svg\" alt=\"voltage\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Battery Voltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/airflow.svg\" alt=\"airflow\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Dust Port Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-1\/16 in \/ 1-7\/16 in (27 mm \/ 36 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/weight.svg\" alt=\"weight\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.80 lbs (3.54 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/made-in.svg\" alt=\"made-in\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Made In\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGermany\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-compatibility\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"compat-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"compat-row\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/compatible.svg\" alt=\"\" class=\"icon-sm\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Platform\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"compat-detail\"\u003eOptimized for the Festool TBX 8 Tabless Battery;
