The Festool WOOD STANDARD Saw Blade, 18-Tooth - 6-5\/16 in. (160mm) (item number 578588) is the blade to reach for when a job moves between materials — solid wood, chipboard, cement-bonded board, hardboard, and drywall — and you don't want to keep swapping blades to keep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe details that matter here are the tooth count and the kerf. Eighteen teeth is enough to keep cutting speed high on rip and cross cuts, while a 1\/16-in (1.6mm) cutting width keeps resistance low as the blade moves through material. On a cordless saw, lower resistance means lower power draw, and lower power draw means more cuts out of a single battery charge compared to a standard-kerf blade doing the same work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFestool builds this blade from high-quality steel with fine-grain carbide teeth, ground with an alternating top bevel tooth style and set at a 15-degree chip angle and 15-degree relief angle. That's not an arbitrary spec sheet — those cutting angles are matched specifically to the saws this blade is designed for, which is what keeps the cut smooth and consistent instead of chattering or wandering, especially when the grain direction changes mid-cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6-5\/16-in (160mm) diameter and 0.79-in (20mm) arbor bore are sized to drop straight into the Festool HKC 55 K, TSC 55 K, and TSC 55 KS cordless track saws — no adapters or modification required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the blade to keep loaded if you run one of those saws for general construction, interior finishing, remodeling, or cabinet and trim work. It's not a specialty finish blade for a glass-smooth edge on veneered panels — it's the everyday blade that covers rip cuts, cross cuts, and mixed materials on a job where changing blades mid-task just slows you down.\u003c\/p\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\/diameter.svg\" alt=\"diameter\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Blade Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-5\/16-in (160mm)\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\/blade-teeth.svg\" alt=\"blade-teeth\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Tooth Count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18\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\/arbor-size.svg\" alt=\"arbor-size\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Arbor Bore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.79-in (20mm)\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\/size.svg\" alt=\"size\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Kerf (Cutting Width)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/16-in (1.6mm)\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\/material.svg\" alt=\"material\" class=\"aplusicon\"\u003e Blade Thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.04-in (1.10mm)\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 Tooth Grind\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlternating top bevel\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\u003e0.6 lbs\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\u003eCompatible Saws\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"compat-detail\"\u003eFestool HKC 55 K, TSC 55 K, and TSC 55 KS cordless track saws\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\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\u003eRated Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"compat-detail\"\u003eSolid wood, chipboard, cement-bonded board, hardboard, and drywall\/plasterboard\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-applications-uses\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tags\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003eWoodworking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003eCarpentry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003eGeneral Contracting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003eInterior Finishing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003eRemodeling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tag\"\u003eCabinetry \u0026amp;
