Festool 561556 - TS55REQ Plunge Cut Saw / Tracksaw with 55" Guide Rail

The TS 55 REQ is Festool's most advanced plunge-cut saw ever—and that’s saying a lot.

The all-new TS 55 REQ is not your standard circular saw. With its accuracy and versatility, it should be compared to the most advanced table saws, miter saws, or panel saws available. Incredible portability and unbelievable ease of use deliver precision cutting like nothing else — equally at home in high-end cabinet shops as in the most challenging onsite remodel. Packed with all the time-saving features you’ve come to expect from a Festool TS Saw, the new TS 55 REQ features a flat housing for flush-cutting against walls or adjacent surfaces, micro-adjustable depth controls, plus a host of other time-saving enhancements.

What's new?

• Flat housing for flush-cutting - With a flat housing to offset to 1/2"you’ll make straight cuts perfectly parallel to any edge, further increasing your range of applications with the TS 55 REQ.
• Easy-to-read, dual-depth scale - Large, readable scale indicates depth setting, for cuts on or off the guide rail. Also includes a self-adhering Imperial scale.
• Micro-adjustable depth control - Integrated micro-adjust knob enables precise depth adjustment, so you cut only what’s intended.
• Better dust control - Improved dust channel design further enhances extraction efficiency, so you can work right in the customer’s space, with less clean-up.
• Greater bevel range - Simple detent-override function extends angle cutting to -1° to 47° with positive stops at 0° and 45°.
• Pick up where you left off - Redesigned riving knife emerges before the saw blade for easier positioning in existing cuts lines.
• More protection from splintering - Streamlined Splinterguard is always there when you need it, eliminating tearout on both sides of the blade.
