From framing to finishing, anywhere on the jobsite, the HKC 55 K Cordless Carpentry Saw gives you the power and flexibility to handle every cut with confidence. From fast cross‑cuts with the FSK cross‑cutting Guide Rail, to precise straight cuts with the FS Guide Rail, to accurate angled cuts — the HKC 55 K is built for serious versatility in everyday tasks. The latest generation introduces KickbackStop technology, a sensor‑based mechanism that reacts in a fraction of a second to arrest the motor and blade. This innovation helps reduce the disruptions caused by kickback, protecting your workpiece and keeping your workflow smooth. A newly designed thin‑kerf blade with a cutting width of just 1/16” (1.6 mm) provides longer runtime and noticeably higher torque. The result: faster progress, cleaner cuts, and extended battery life. When matched with Festool’s TBX 8 Tabless Battery, the HKC 55 K delivers maximum performance for demanding jobs, ensuring you can keep cutting longer without interruption. Together, these innovations make the HKC 55 K more than just an update — it’s a cordless carpentry saw that combines precision, endurance, and smart technology for the best performance on every project.
Performance that lasts.
Less effort with excellent cutting performance. The brushless EC‑TEC motor and advanced electronics of the HKC 55 K work in perfect sync to maximize the TBX 8 Tabless Battery. Paired with the specially designed thin‑kerf blade 1/16” (1.6 mm), the saw delivers higher torque, longer runtime, and faster cutting performance. The result: cleaner cuts, extended battery life, and less effort on every cut.
Precision in every cut.
Attach, set, and cut accurately and cleanly. Secure the FSK Guide Rail firmly to the saw and take it wherever the job requires. Quick, precise cross‑cuts are easy to achieve, while integrated angle guides provide perfectly repeatable cuts from ‑60° to +60°. The automatic return function ensures consistent, efficient cross‑cuts every time.
Kickback protection.
Kickback protection function for smoother workflow. The HKC 55 K introduces sensor‑based KickbackStop technology, reacting in a fraction of a second to stop the motor and blade. This innovation helps reduce disruptions caused by kickback, helping to protect your workpiece and keeping your workflow smooth. Additional refinements — including the built‑in riving knife to prevent blade jamming and the guard lever for easier operation — make cutting more intuitive and efficient.
More power and longer runtime.
The brushless EC‑TEC motor delivers maximum power and efficiency.
Mobile miter saw system.
Easily connect the HKC 55 K to the FSK cross‑cutting guide rail for precise, angled cross‑cuts. Available cutting lengths of 9-3/4” (250 mm), 16-1/2” (420 mm), or 26-3/8” (670 mm) give you the right capacity for every task.
KickbackStop protection.
Sensor‑based KickbackStop reacts in a fraction of a second to stop the motor and blade. This innovation reduces disruptions caused by kickback, helping protect your workpiece and keeping your workflow smooth.
Guard thumb lever.
A conveniently placed thumb lever lets you open the guard cover for a clear view of the blade, making operation easier and keeping your hands away from the blade.
Riving knife.
The integrated riving knife prevents the blade from binding for unobstructed, stress‑free cutting.
Thin-kerf blade.
Specially designed 1/16” (1.6 mm) blades reduce load on the motor, improve runtime, and deliver cleaner cuts. Blade changes are quick and simple with the FastFix spindle stop.
Precise depth control.
Push the lever and set the desired cutting depth using the scale. Unlock the plunge position and use the spring‑supported plunge‑cut function for accurate, convenient cuts at preset depths.
Scribe Line = Cut Line.
Bevel adjustment from 0° to 50° ensures precise beveled cuts. When used with the guide or cross‑cutting rail, the scribe line is exactly the cut line — even at an angle.
Cut line indicator.
Clear view of the scribe line and blade for maximum precision.
Precision guidance.
Fully compatible with Festool guide rails, the HKC 55 KS is versatile and excels at crosscuts and rip cuts and pairs well with the FS 1400/2 Guide Rail.
Stay connected.
Integrated connectivity with the Festool app gives you detailed information on battery levels, motor temperature, and KickbackStop status, plus access to software updates.
