The Festool TSC 55 KSEB-Basic Cordless Plunge-Cut Saw combines precise cutting performance with a compact, lightweight design. Developed for professional carpentry, joinery and interior installation, it provides cordless flexibility for demanding workshop and site applications.

Powered by a single Festool 18 V battery pack, the saw features a brushless EC-TEC motor. Its adjustable no-load speed ranges from 3,500 to 5,200 rpm. Furthermore, the 1.6 mm thin-kerf blade reduces cutting resistance and supports efficient battery use.

The 160 mm saw blade delivers a maximum cutting depth of 55 mm. An adjustable bevel range of −1° to 47° also allows accurate angled cuts, with a cutting depth of 43 mm at 45°.

Festool’s sensor-based KickbackStop rapidly stops the blade when it detects kickback. Consequently, it helps reduce the risk of injury and workpiece damage during cutting and plunge operations.

The compact housing enables cuts as close as 12 mm from a wall. Meanwhile, the adjustable depth scale provides accurate settings with or without a guide rail.

For clean cutting results, the supplied splinterguard works with compatible Festool guide rails to minimise edge breakout. The FastFix spindle stop also simplifies blade changes.

The supplied chip collection bag supports mobile work without an extractor. Alternatively, the 27/36 mm connection accommodates compatible Festool dust extractors.

The Festool TSC 55 KSEB-Basic is suitable for cutting sheet materials, trimming doors, preparing kitchen worktops and producing precise recesses. Its combination of single-battery convenience, accurate guidance and intelligent safety features makes it a versatile professional cutting solution.
