Festool TS 75 EQ Plunge Cut Circular Saw Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can go on about this saw but I'm short on time.I do high end millwork fabrication, installation and corian fabrication.When in the shop I use a 10' sliding panel saw to cut most materials. While in the field I use the ts75.This saw has a larger blade than the older 55. I often will stack 3 sheets of 3/4 material and cut them all at the same time. It can cut any sheet stock, at any angle and at any bevel up to 45 degrees.It can also do it with no tear out, no burning and almost no dust.Unlike the panel saw it can also plunge cut and retract out of the material easily and with an almost flawless cut.The key is getting the correct accessories.like I said, the saw is part of a system.I have a ct22 dust collector, 2 55" rails, and one that is about 10 foot.If you think the saw is too expensive at $600, then you'll really flip when you see the cost of the entire system including blades, dust collector, rubber for the guides, clamps including the geckos, etc.But when you think about it, this saw will basically do what an expensive panel saw can do, a little slower, but its portable.The bottom line is this, if the saw died on me tomorrow, I would buy a new one while I waited for my old one to be repaired. Oh, and all their tools work together, for example: When cutting and seaming solid surface I can mount the guide rail for the saw, make my cut, readjust the rail, then pop on the festool router and mirror cut the two parts that will seam together.It works the first time, every time. I use the same rail, clamps and dust collector for both tools and both procedures.Once you start milling solid surface with these tools, you will never, ever want to go back to the old ways, without dust collection.The Germans really know how to design a tool.

Product Description:
Cut as straight as a panel saw with the versatility of a portable saw. The Festool TS 75 EQ plunge saw has a multitude of uses, from fine carpentry to cutting spiral staircase steps; from rough timber to cutting out window frames in renovation work. The TS 75 is a larger saw with greater cut depth than the Festool TS 55 EQ.Portable circular saws often react unexpectedly. They wander off line and are subject to play in the guide. Its a quick way to ruin expensive material. But not the TS 75 EQ and included guide rail: the saw blade makes its cut absolutely straight and splinter-free. Perpendicular or even beveled, the choice is yours. As a plunge saw, it can start and end a cut accurately anywhere on the material.Equally important, on the TS 55 and TS 75, the saw blade and riving knife retracts into the housing, unlike on conventional pendulum-cover saws, where the cover retracts instead of the blade. This automatically means greater intrinsic safety.
