Extra Information
- This kit is listed as FESKIT002 and includes Festool 577010 plus the Pro-Tech PT16060AL aluminium-profile saw blade.
- The Festool 577010 machine set is the TS 55 FEBQ-Plus-FS and includes the FS 1400/2 guide rail.
- The Festool TS 55 uses 160 mm saw blades with a 20 mm bore.
- The included Pro-Tech PT16060AL saw blade is 160 x 2.2 x 20 x 60T and is intended for aluminium panels, aluminium profiles and selected plastics.
- Use the correct blade for the material. Do not use a wood-only blade for aluminium profiles.
- For cleaner cuts and safer operation, connect the saw to a suitable Festool dust extractor whenever possible.
Pro Tips
- Use the Festool guide rail for long straight cuts instead of trying to freehand the cut. That is where the TS 55 really earns its keep.
- When cutting aluminium, use the Pro-Tech PT16060AL blade, reduce feed pressure and allow the blade to cut steadily.
- For best finish quality, support the workpiece properly on both sides of the cut.
- Use the splinterguard and a sharp blade when cutting visible panels or laminated board.
- Before cutting aluminium, check that the material is clamped securely and that the offcut cannot vibrate or kick.
- Match the speed setting to the blade and material. Burning, chipping or noisy cutting is usually the machine asking you to slow down and behave.
How to Use
- Select the correct saw blade for the material being cut.
- Fit the saw blade using the FastFix blade change system and make sure it is securely fastened.
- Set the cutting depth according to the workpiece thickness.
- Place the FS 1400/2 guide rail accurately on the marked cutting line.
- Clamp the guide rail where necessary, especially on smooth, narrow or valuable workpieces.
- Connect a suitable dust extractor to the 27/36 mm extraction connection.
- Set the speed according to the material and blade being used.
- Place the saw on the guide rail and start the machine before entering the material.
- Guide the saw steadily through the cut without forcing it.
- Allow the saw blade to stop completely before lifting the machine away or changing the blade.

- Keep hands clear of the blade path and never reach underneath the workpiece while cutting.
- Allow the saw blade to reach full speed before entering the material.
- Do not force the saw through the material; use a steady feed rate suitable for the blade and material.
- Use dust extraction whenever possible, especially when cutting board, MDF, plastics or coated materials.
- When cutting aluminium, secure the material firmly and watch for sharp swarf and hot chips.
