The Festool TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus Plunge Cut Track Saw + CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor Bundle pairs the Festool TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus Plunge Cut Track Saw with the Festool CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor, then adds the Festool FS 1400/2 55-in. Guide Rail (Limited Edition Blue) and the Festool SELFCLEAN Filter Bags for CT 26, 5-Pack. This is a plunge cut track saw and HEPA dust extraction bundle designed for straight, splinter-free cuts in sheet goods, doors and solid lumber. Model number 576708-577871-578246-496187.

Buying the pieces as one system means the setup works on day one. The extractor's anti-static suction hose connects to the TS 55's dust port, the FS 1400/2 55-in. Guide Rail (Limited Edition Blue) gives the saw a straight, splinter-free cutting reference long enough for full-width crosscuts on a 4 x 8 sheet, and the five spare SELFCLEAN bags are sized for the CT 26, so you are not shopping for consumables the first week.

Festool TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus Plunge Cut Track Saw

The Festool TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus Plunge Cut Track Saw, Model Number 576708, is built for clean, straight, controlled cuts in sheet goods, doors, flooring, and trim materials. This is a track saw designed for precise plunge cutting, panel breakdown, and finish-quality straight cuts. If you want table-saw-like accuracy in a portable format, this is the tool that gets you there without dragging full-size shop equipment onto the job.

This saw is built around a 1,200 watt motor with a variable no-load speed range of 2,000 to 5,800 RPM. On the job, that gives you the flexibility to match blade speed to the material instead of forcing one setting to do everything. For hardwood panels, plywood, chipboard, plasterboard, and similar stock up to 2-1/8 inches thick, that speed range helps you balance cut finish and feed rate. Festool also calls out increased cutting speed with the updated blade and drive package, which is exactly what pros want from a plunge saw: fast progress without beating up the edge.

Where the TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus really separates itself from an ordinary circular saw is precision. Festool designed this plunge cut track saw so the cutting edge remains unchanged from 90 degrees through 47 degrees of bevel range. That matters when you are fitting panels, scribing fillers, trimming doors, or cutting parts that need to land where you expect them to. The undercut range from -1 degree to 47 degrees adds useful flexibility for detailed installation work, and the preset positions at 0 degrees and 45 degrees speed up common adjustments.

The plunge action, spring-loaded riving knife, and FastFix blade-change setup are all practical features, not brochure filler. The riving knife helps reduce blade binding and makes it easier to re-enter existing kerfs or joints. FastFix makes blade changes quicker when you switch from general panel work to finish cuts. The transparent viewing window and start/end markings help with plunge cut placement, which is especially useful when you are cutting openings or stopping on a line instead of running off an edge.

Dust control is a big part of why track saws earn their keep, and Festool built this one to work as part of a complete low-dust cutting setup. The dust extraction port accepts 1-1/16" and 1-7/16" (27 and 36 mm) connections, and the saw is meant to be paired with Festool extraction and guide rail accessories. The attachable splinter guard is another real-world feature that pays off immediately. When used with a guide rail, it helps produce virtually splinter-free cuts on both sides, which means less rework on veneered plywood, prefinished panels, and visible finish materials.

From a build and handling standpoint, the tool is compact for the category at 10.58 lbs, with a slim housing that allows cuts close to walls and edges. Festool specifically notes clearance as tight as 1/2" (12 mm), which is useful for flooring, built-ins, and finish carpentry where access gets cramped. The 6-1/4 inch blade size keeps the saw maneuverable while still delivering a 2-1/8 inch max cutting depth and 1-11/16 inch depth at 45 degrees. That is enough capacity for most cabinet, remodeling, and interior finish applications this saw is actually bought for.

The bigger story here is system compatibility. The TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus is not just a saw, it is part of Festool's guide rail and dust extraction platform. Pair it with the right rail, blade, extraction hose, and angle accessories and it becomes a repeatable cutting system for cabinetry, built-ins, trim, flooring, and jobsite panel processing. That is why this tool is so popular with cabinet installers, remodelers, finish carpenters, and serious woodworkers who care about cut quality and setup speed.

If you are a general contractor who needs a portable saw for breaking down sheet goods cleanly, a finish carpenter fitting high-visibility material, or a woodworking-focused user who wants better results than a standard circular saw can deliver, this saw makes sense. If all you need is rough framing cuts, it is more saw system than you need. But if clean edges, guided accuracy, bevel consistency, and low-dust operation matter, the Festool TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus Plunge Cut Track Saw is exactly the kind of tool that earns its spot fast.

Festool CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor

The Festool 577871 CLEANTEC CT 26 EI HEPA Dust Extractor is a professional jobsite and workshop dust extractor built for cleaner cutting, sanding, and general cleanup. This is a dust extractor designed for dry and wet extraction with tool-triggered operation. Model Number 577871. If you already run Festool saws, sanders, or cordless tools, this unit is built to act like the center of that system instead of just being a vacuum parked in the corner.

What makes the CT 26 EI matter is how it combines usable capacity with real mobility. The 6.9 gal (26 liter) container gives you nearly 7 gallons of room, but the machine still keeps compact dimensions at 25 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 22 inches high. That balance is a big deal on the job because larger extractors can be a pain to move, while smaller ones fill too quickly. Festool landed in the sweet spot here for cabinet work, remodeling, finish carpentry, and shop use.

Suction performance is strong where it counts. The high-performance turbine delivers up to 138 CFM and up to 96 inches of static water lift, which means it can keep up with dust collection at the tool while also handling cleanup duties. The five-level suction adjustment matters just as much as the max number. Being able to back the suction down helps when you are working with sanders or on surfaces where too much pull can fight the tool.

The control layout is more practical than old-school dial-and-switch setups. Festool uses push-button touch controls for straightforward operation, and the extractor supports automatic tool-triggered start for corded power tools. On the cordless side, the built-in Bluetooth interface lets the extractor start automatically with compatible Festool Bluetooth battery packs or an optional remote. That saves steps, keeps dust collection active when it should be, and makes the machine feel like part of the workflow instead of a separate task to manage.

Festool also paid attention to the stuff that usually gets ignored until it annoys you. The anti-static smooth suction hose is designed to reduce snagging and static buildup. The integrated hose holder and cord wrap keep the setup from turning into a mess in the van or at the end of the day. Large wheels make it easier to roll over thresholds and rougher surfaces, while the integrated brake helps keep the extractor from wandering when the hose gets tugged.

As a system machine, the CT 26 EI is set up to do more than collect dust. T-LOC compatibility allows Systainers to attach on top, and it also works as a base for other Festool workflow add-ons like the Pre-separator or Workcenter. That is useful if you want one mobile station carrying the extractor and the tools or accessories needed for the task. In a small shop or a punch-list van, that kind of stackable setup saves space fast.

Filtration is another reason buyers step up to this model. It includes a HEPA main filter plus a SELFCLEAN filter bag, so you are starting with a setup aimed at fine dust control rather than bare-minimum debris pickup. For trades working indoors, especially around finish work, sanding dust, or occupied spaces, that matters. Cleaner air and cleaner floors mean less time on cleanup and less dust spreading through the room you just worked in.

Who should buy it? Pros who want a serious dust extraction setup that works in the shop and on install work. It makes sense for woodworking, finish carpentry, remodeling, interior renovation, and anyone already invested in Festool tools and Systainers. If you just need a basic cleanup vacuum, this is more machine than you need. If you want a dust extractor that integrates into how you actually work, the CT 26 EI is the right kind of upgrade.

Festool FS 1400/2 55-in. Guide Rail (Limited Edition Blue)

The Festool 578246 FS 1400 Limited Edition 100th Anniversary Blue Anodized 55" Guide Rail is a precision guide rail for track saw, router, and jigsaw work. This is a guide rail designed for straight, splinter-free cuts and routing grooves. Model Number 578246. If you want cleaner results without dragging big sheet goods across stationary machines, this rail gives you a controlled, repeatable cutting path right where the workpiece sits.

The big reason guys buy a rail like this is accuracy that actually saves time. Festool builds the FS 1400 around a splinter guard positioned directly at the scribe mark, so you can place the rail on your line and cut with less guessing. That matters on finished plywood, veneered panels, interior trim stock, and any job where chipped edges turn into touch-up work. The slideway lining also helps the saw or router move smoothly along the rail, which keeps the cut consistent and makes the whole setup feel more controlled.

Festool SELFCLEAN Filter Bags for CT 26, 5-Pack

The Festool SC FIS-CT 26/5 SELFCLEAN Filter Bag is a replacement filter bag pack for Festool CT 26 dust extractors. This is a dust extractor filter bag designed for collecting fine dust and debris while helping the vacuum maintain strong airflow. Model Number 496187. If you run a CT 26 in the shop or on site, this is the bag setup that makes the extractor work the way it is supposed to.

Who should buy this bundle? Cabinet installers, remodelers, flooring crews and woodworkers who break down sheet goods and want clean, accurate cuts without a cloud of dust. The CT 26 EI is the middle option, with a 6.9 gal (26 L) container and 138 CFM of airflow, balancing capacity and mobility for shop and jobsite work.
