The Festool TSC 55 KSEB cordless plunge‑cut saw delivers professional‑grade precision with the efficiency of a single 18V battery system. Redesigned from the twin‑battery KEB model, this version offers a slimmer, lighter and better‑balanced profile, improving handling and reducing fatigue without compromising cutting performance.

Powered by a brushless EC‑TEC motor, the TSC 55 KSEB provides consistent cutting power across a wide range of materials. Its 160 mm blade with a 1.6 mm ultra‑thin kerf reduces cutting resistance, helping extend runtime while delivering fast, clean and accurate results.

Designed for precision and versatility, the saw offers cutting depths of up to 55 mm at 90° and 43 mm at 45°. It also enables cutting as close as 12 mm to walls, with no overhang beyond the guide rail, ideal for flush cuts and working in confined spaces.

Safety and control remain central to the design. The updated KickbackStop system features faster sensors to detect sudden movement and shut the blade down quickly, helping to reduce the risk of injury during cutting or plunging.

Accuracy is further enhanced by angle adjustment from -1° to 47°, allowing precise bevels and slight undercuts for tight joints. A consistent cut line is maintained at all angles, reducing the need for recalibration and ensuring repeatable results.

Dust can be managed using the supplied collection bag or by connecting to a compatible Festool extractor, including Bluetooth® auto‑start functionality for efficient, near dust‑free operation. A transparent viewing window improves visibility of the cut line, while the detachable splinter guard delivers clean, splinter‑free finishes on both sides of the material.

Supplied as a body‑only unit (batteries and charger not included) the TSC 55 KSEB comes in a SYS3 M 337 Systainer and includes a fine‑cut 160 mm 20‑tooth TCT blade, chip collection bag, splinter guard, viewing window and hex key.
