495377 491952 Track Saw Blade for TS 55, TSC 55, TS 60, ATF 55 E, HK 55, HKC 55 festool Track Saw Plunge Cut Saw 160mm, 2.2mm, 20mm 48t ATB festool Track Saw Accessories Crosscut 2-Year Warranty

Fits the HKC 55 with no problems. I've tried blades with less teeth for plywood, but they don't leave a good cut. This blade leaves no splinters or cracks or plywood, or melamine plywood.

Crosscuts and rips through 1-1/2" Red Oak like its butter. Effortless and no burning. Exactly like OEM Festool equipment. Very good price in comparison to Festool Blade.

Rip cuts very well on my Makita track saw. Significant reduction in burning when ripping cherry wood. The advert says Festool all over, but the blade doesn’t say Festool on it. My other Festool blades blade have the brand marked.

I use my track saws primarily for cutting down sheet goods, often including hardwood veneer plywood. While I own very good blades for this task on the table saw, most available blades sized for the track saw have fewer teeth and leave a rougher kerf, or are very expensive indeed. This blade is a very reasonably priced alternative. I had good results with it on my 'Kreg' ACS and birch veneer plywood. I haven't had the occasion to use it on anything more sensitive to chipping.

If anyone’s wondering if a cheap blade for a TS 55 will work with the new Festool table saw I will say you have nothing to worry about. The blade fits perfect, but obviously the height read out will be wrong. This blade is thicker than the thin curfed blade that comes with a TS 60 and the SYS 50 ebi table saw. That leads to less deflection and less vibration.
