Festool CMS-TS 55 R Module Mounting
At a Glance: Module mounting set for fitting a compatible Festool TS 55 plunge saw into the CMS system for bench saw-style cutting.
The Festool CMS-TS 55 R Module Mounting is designed to convert a compatible Festool TS 55 plunge saw into a bench saw module for use with the Festool CMS system. It allows the saw to be installed into a module support so that it can be used for controlled longitudinal cuts, trimming cuts and repeatable workshop cutting tasks.
This module mounting set is a proper problem-solver for users who want more flexibility from their TS 55 and CMS setup. Instead of only using the plunge saw as a handheld guide rail saw, the CMS-TS 55 R setup allows the tool to work as part of a stationary cutting system, giving better support, more repeatability and cleaner control for panel and timber work.
The CMS-TS 55 R module mounting is made for installing the TS 55 into the Festool CMS system. It includes the module support and key fitting accessories needed to create a bench saw-style setup for accurate cutting work.

Pro Tips
- Before cutting, check that the TS 55 is mounted securely and that all fixing clamps are properly tightened.
- Use the scales and angle stop for repeat work instead of resetting from scratch every time.
- Always confirm the cutting depth after mounting the saw into the module support.
- Keep the protective cover correctly fitted during operation; it is not a decoration, it is there for a reason.
- For best accuracy, make a test cut on scrap material before cutting finished boards or expensive panels.
How to Use
- Make sure the CMS system and compatible TS 55 saw are switched off and disconnected from power before assembly.

- Fit the TS 55 into the module mounting according to the Festool assembly instructions.
- Secure the saw with the supplied fixing clamps and fastening components.
- Fit the protective cover and supporter correctly before use.
- Set the cutting depth adjustment according to the material thickness and required cut.
- Fit and set the angle stop, scales and workpiece holder where required for the cutting task.
- Connect suitable dust extraction where applicable.
- Check that the saw, module support and CMS setup are stable and correctly assembled before switching on.
- Feed the workpiece steadily through the cutting area, using proper support and safe hand positioning.
- After use, switch off the machine and allow the blade to stop completely before making adjustments or removing the workpiece.
