Festool TS 55 EBQ - My new toy!

[tfs]

This is a cracking tool for a multitude of tasks, better than any circular saw with the benefit of plunge cutting. Low settup time as you can buy a guide rail with a rubber strip on the base so it sticks to any surface without the need to clamp.

Cant reccomend this enough for anyone who has the cash to spare and the requirement of a good circular saw.

worktops, plywood, mdf, bespoke furnautre and workshop use etc.

Most kitchen boys I know swear by Festool gear. Definately good tools.

Great for trimming doors etc though, especialy if its hard wood like oak or something. Will trim kitchen & bathroom plinths, flat bath panels and will cut expansion gaps around perimiter of floor for ply or wooden floor etc. You can get blades for cutting metal with these bad boys too!

Probably a top notch tool, not one I will need though tfs.

Just a bit of fun, it's xmas

deffo not a tool for everyone, but worth every penny if you cut much sheet timber to the mm.

TFS,


I bought the 75 after looking long and hard at the 55. I ended up with the 75 rather than the 55 because it let me do without a larger and more powerful table saw. Here are two pictures I took to show my Festool dealer...this shows how well the 75 cuts and even through large, thick lumber like this curly red oak.

The next thing I am going to buy is the rack and boom assembly to attach to the CT dust extractor and be able to have the hose suspended from overhead while I work.
