Straight Talk… About Straight Cuts.
There are a lot of people who still believe you can only get straight, splinter-free
cuts in a shop using expensive panel saws, table saws, and CNC equipment. Getting
quality cuts with portable power tools doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive.
The truth is…that with the right power tools, anyone can get great results in the
shop or on the jobsite. Straight, splinter-free cuts are easy, once you know the
secret.

Whether making perpendicular or beveled cuts, the superior design of these saws
allows you to use the same cut line, ensuring perfectly straight, splinter-free
cuts.
Nothing beats the convenience of the
TS 55 for cutting down panels. Big on power, small in size, the TS 55 makes
quick work of sheet goods with greater accuracy and far more versatility than a
panel saw. When mated to a
MFT/3, it rivals the precision and capability of most table saws and miter
saws.
Turn to the
TS 75 when you need more capacity. MMC electronics mean that your cuts will
be burnfree and glue-ready, even in thicker or stacked material. With 1600 watts
of power and almost 2 3/4" of cutting capacity cutting three or four sheets
at one time is a breeze.
Power and precision in the palm of your hand.
With the most power in its class, the TS 75 EQ puts incredible power at your disposal.
1600 watts of power, and a cutting depth of 2 ¾” make this the preferred choice
for production runs and thick materials. Weighing in at less than 10 pounds, the
TS 55 EQ has enough power to meet all, but the most demanding requirements. It easily
cuts 5/4 material or two sheets of ¾” plywood stacked. With more control and the
ability to take the tool to the work, your table saw is sure to see less use. Both
saws have a variable speed control and MMC electronics for superior performance
in all materials.
Know that you're working safely.
The TS plunge cut saws have a number of safety features that make them superior
to traditional circular saws and other plunge type saws. A riving knife helps prevent
the back of the blade from creating kickback. Innovative limit stops can be used
to keep the saw base from rising during a plunge cut, and can also be used as both
beginning and ending stop guides. The pivoting plunge action is more natural and
easier to control than the plunge action found on track saws, and the blade remains
covered above the cutline when performing a plunge cut. Up to 96% of saw dust is
captured when used with a Festool dust extractor.
