Festool TS 55 REQ Plunge Cut Track Saw - Episode 9

It's time for the corded version of the Festool in Episode 9 of our plunge saw season. According to Festool, the TS 55 REQ is the best plunge-cut saw they've ever built, let's see. ============================= Info from Festool. Circular saw TS 55 REQ-Plus GB 110V One excellent feature is the ultra-flat and, thanks to the inward-pointing extractor connector, completely flat housing. With no body, it is possible to saw close to the edges with a minimum 12 mm wall spacing. Available with a viewing window or splinter guard, the TS 55 R gives you even more control and perfect results. Another key feature is the newly developed spacer wedge. It stands out in front of the saw blade, provides safety and guarantees precise positioning in existing saw cuts. Optimum cutting quality For high-quality working results: The guide rail guarantees clean, splinter-free cuts. The TS 55 R is fitted with guide jaws that do not require tools to be adjusted, in order to enable the saw to operate without any inaccuracy. More safety, more comfort The spring-loaded guide wedge runs in front of the saw blade to prevent it from jamming and makes it easier to insert the blade in existing joints. Exact depth setting Easy to read and adjust: The dual cutting depth scale for working with or without a guide rail. With extra-large font and fine adjustment feature to perform accurate-plunge cuts. Splinter-free sawing on both sides With the clip-on splinter guard in combination with the guide rail it is even possible to saw on both sides without splinters. Advantage: No rework and considerably less workpiece waste. FastFix saw blade changing system Work adapted to the material. The FastFix spindle stop makes it extremely easy to change the saw blade in no time at all. This way, you are always working with the right saw blade and sawing at a speed adapted to the material. MMC electronics Perfect adaptation to the working material, controlled speed and temperature monitoring. The quick-acting brake improves safety by stopping the saw blade in seconds. Scribe mark = cut Exact cuts, even at an angle. The TS 55 makes the actual cut right on the edge of the scribe line, even at an angle. Cutting angle The angles 0° and 45° can be selected directly using the locking positions. Undercuts from -1° to 47° are also possible with the extended adjustment option. • Precise circular in materials up to 55 mm thick • Minimal distance from the wall (12 mm) due to flat housing • Even more precise thanks to angle setting with snap-in points and indentation (-1° and/or 47°) • Guide wedge for safer work and simple positioning in existing joint • Sliding viewing window provides a good view of the scribe mark and saw blade #Festool #powertools #woodworking =================================================== Don't forget to stay up to date with Skill Builder!
