Festool's TS 55 EQ keeps all the great features of its predecessor and adds new features that make the saw more convenient, more capable and more user friendly. A new, larger Thumb Interlock makes it easier to switch on the power and pivot the blade down for cutting, while a new Blade Lock disconnects the power switch, and locks the blade down in position for removal. Plunge cuts in the middle of a workpiece are easier than ever, since the riving knife is now spring loaded, and automatically retracts when plunging.

When used with the Festool Guide rail system, its ideal for installation of laminate flooring systems, and allows cutting just 3/8" off a wall. Cross cutting veneered materials with most circular saws leaves a splintered mess. Festool's new sacrificial Splinter Guard rests on the workpiece directly above the cut, providing "zero clearance" support at the blade for the top veneer, resulting in clean, chip-free cuts in melamine, veneered plywood, and even high-pressure laminates. The 55" guide rail (included) allows for fast precise cuts with little or no setup time, since the edge guide automatically aligns to the cut-line. Electronic variable-speed control automatically maintains a constant blade speed under load, and the soft start and automatic idle cut down on operator fatigue and noise.

Surprisingly, the Festool TS 55 EQ uses a 6-1/4" diameter blade, but still provides a 1-15/16" cut at 90 degrees, and 1-7/16" cut at 45 degrees -- plenty to cut construction 2x stock. Includes systainer storage box, 48-tooth carbide tipped blade, 55" guide rail, limit stop and chip deflector.

	If you want to connect guide rails, you will need two connectors.
	Many customers try to buy a 42” Guide Rail to combine with the 55” that comes with their saw. While this would give you 97 inches, it is not long enough to allow the saw a place to sit to start your cut. You'll need a 55".
	Many folks opt for the guide rail accessory kit. The kit will contain two connectors, an extra guide rail stop, a deflector for the end of guide rail (keeps hose and cord tracking), replacement splinter guard, and angle unit and two clamps all in a systainer. The angle unit is the deal breaker: if you do not have a use for that, just buy the separate parts you need.
	We recommend purchasing two screw type clamps or quick clamps. These clamps fit into the bottom channel of the guide rail and do not interfere with the travel of the saw.
