We have just received delivery of the latest model plunge cutting saw with rail from Festool. Here is a breakdown of its best features:

For high-quality working results: the guide rail guarantees clean, splinter-free cuts. The TS 55 R is fitted with adjustable jaws to enable the saw to operate without any inaccuracy.

Designed for an even wider range of application possibilities.

• Sawing joins on floors, ceilings or even doors from a distance of 12 mm
• False joints between 12 and 46 mm wide are created in no time at all – with the false joint stop (available as an accessory)
• Machining different materials such as plasterboard, building panels, plastics such as plexiglas and non-ferrous metals such as aluminium
• Cutting recesses in doors or kitchen worktops
• Well prepared for any challenge – saw blades are quick and easy to change with FastFix blade change

The splinterguard is easy to position and can be exchanged with the transparent viewing window without using tools. The combination of a splinterguard and guide rail guarantees splinter-free cuts on both sides.

The new, spring-loaded riving knife positioned in front of the saw blade can be easily inserted in an existing kerf, e.g. when moving the guide rail.

The saw blade must be positioned perfectly on the scribe mark to achieve perfect cutouts, e.g. when making plunge cuts in kitchen worktops. The transparent viewing window also provides a perfect view of the end of the marking, for example, in corners.

This great new tool is on display and in stock at our Cardiff tool showroom our Bridgend tool showroom and available to buy online. Click here for more details
