Festool - 577991 - Cordless Track Saw TSC 55 KSEB-Basic

Product Highlights

More power, less weight
Cleaner cuts, longer runtime
Smart control
The TSC 55 KS brings together everything you need in a cordless track saw for on‑the‑go work. Its compact, lightweight design delivers full performance with just one battery pack, making it versatile and easy to handle. The slimmer profile feels comfortable in your hand and expands your applications—whether making precise cuts directly against the wall or aligning flush with the guide rail. With one battery in use and another charging, you can keep working without interruptions all day.
Paired with Festool’s advanced power electronics and brushless EC‑TEC motor, the TSC 55 KS extracts maximum performance from the TBX 8 Tabless Battery. Combined with the specially designed 1/16" (1.6 mm) thin‑kerf blade, you get exceptional efficiency and glass‑smooth results. Less effort from the tool means longer runtime and consistently high‑quality cuts.
Kickback is one of the most common disruptions when using a plunge‑cut saw. The innovative sensor‑based KickbackStop reacts in an instant to halt the blade, helping protect the workpiece and letting you get back to cutting quickly. It’s one more way the TSC 55 KS keeps your workflow smooth and uninterrupted.

Product Details

Greater power and endurance: The TSC 55 KS is equipped with a brushless EC‑TEC motor for maximum life and efficiency. Paired with advanced power electronics and the TBX 8 Tabless Battery, it delivers optimal cutting performance and extended runtime for demanding jobs.

Exceptional torque: Specially designed 1/16” (1.6 mm) thin‑kerf blades harness the full power of the saw. Built for cordless use, they provide clean cutting results, faster cutting performance, and longer battery life.

Greater control thanks to KickbackStop: The innovative sensor‑based KickbackStop reacts instantly to halt the blade, reducing disruptions when sawing or plunging into the workpiece. It helps protect your cut and keeps you working smoothly.

Precise depth setting: Dual pointers and fine adjustment make depth settings easy to read and dial in with precision. Suitable for use with or without a guide rail, the system ensures parallax‑free accuracy every time.

Virtually dust-free: Whether using the redesigned Dust Bag or a Dust Extractor with Bluetooth® auto‑start, the Festool extraction system captures dust at the source so you can work cleaner.

Tailored lighting: The attachable LED light (available separately) brightens your cutting area with shadow‑free illumination, precisely where it matters—directly on the workpiece.

Lockable dust port: The adjustable dust port can be locked in place or rotated 360° for flexible hose positioning and cleaner work.

Stay connected: Integrated connectivity with the Festool app gives you detailed information on battery charge levels, motor temperature, and KickbackStop status. You can also access software updates to keep your saw performing at its best.

Precise edge work: The flush motor housing enables cuts with a minimum wall clearance of just ½” (12 mm). Compact design ensures clean, accurate work even in tight spaces.

Perfect cuts reduce the need for reworking: Use the attachable splinter guard with the guide rail to achieve virtually splinter‑free cuts on both sides of the cut, saving time by minimizing rework.

Simple blade changes: The FastFix spindle lock makes blade changes quick and effortless. The saw’s compact design even allows it to rest securely on its side, making blade changes even easier.

Ecosystem of support: Festool’s accessory system—including guide rails, angle stops, splinter guards, dust extraction, and more—integrates seamlessly to provide a first‑class sawing solution tailored to your needs.
