Festool — regarded for its precise and mobile cordless track saw, which originally hit the market in 2015 — has upped the game again. The new TSC 55 K has added even more features to this durable tool, most notably Festool’s proprietary kickback stop technology. Delivering unparalleled precision and repeatability of perfectly accurate cuts in a variety of materials, the TSC 55 K makes sure the first cut is the final cut.

The TSC 55 K is engineered with innovative first-of-its-kind kickback stop technology, which reduces the likelihood of kickbacks, thereby increasing user safety. Festool’s new saw senses the moment of kickback during a cut — which can cause the tool to lurch backward toward the operator. The kickback stop feature immediately seizes the rotation of the motor, halting the blade in the blink of an eye. After the kickback stop automatically activates, the saw is ready for use again with virtually zero downtime.

Complementing the new TSC 55 K, Festool also is introducing an array of new saw blades with thinner kerfs and new teeth geometries for improved cutting performance and longer life. Plus, the TSC 55 K ensures plenty of runtime as it operates on dual 5.2 Ah batteries.

The new TSC 55 K is backed by Festool’s 3-year all-inclusive warranty — once the tool is registered at festoolcanada.com/service. Festool’s warranty includes protection for wear and tear — covering the tool, batteries and battery charger.

The TSC 55 K is available in the all new SYS3 M Systainer.
