FAQs
Are plunge saws worth it?
Festool plunge saws are renowned for their accuracy and clean cuts. The plunge mechanism and guide rail system minimise tear-out and ensure straight, splinter-free cuts. This is crucial for fine woodworking and precise joinery.
Can you use a DeWalt track saw with a Festool track?
Many users have reported success with this combination. The DeWalt track saw’s base has grooves that can engage with the Festool track. While it technically works, it’s not a perfect match. The fit might not be as snug as it is on a DeWalt track, and there might be slight variations in accuracy.
Can a plunge saw replace a circular saw?
Plunge saws, especially when used with guide rails, excel at making straight, precise cuts with minimal tear-out. This is crucial for fine woodworking and projects requiring tight tolerances.
Is Festool TS55 brushless?
Festool uses their own proprietary brushless motor technology called EC-TEC. This motor is designed to provide high power, efficiency, and durability. Brushless motors generally offer more power than traditional brushed motors, allowing the saw to tackle tough cutting jobs with ease.
