  • In this video I will be giving you a first look to Festool's newest track saw, the TS 55 F. The newly redesigned track saw delivers excellent work results and a top-class sawing system. New, ultra-thin saw blades drive faster work and the perfect cuts. Additionally, I will be showcasing the updated set of guide rails and angle stop accessories to create a complete system that drives the best cut performance.

    Hi Jason, FEBQ model launched in the UK last year and it's been a joy to use. It's worth saying perhaps is that it doesn't push the Festool TS 55 corded saw format forward much, and is is outclassed by the R series battery version which has the kickback tech embedded. I do like the thinner kerf blade which is long overdue.

    Another great and informative video as always. I really appreciate the detail and clear demonstrations you provide in all of your content. Do you think it's worth looking into a 1.8mm blade for the TS75 for the same benefits as described at the beginning of the vid?

I was surprised that the Festool teaser videos about this new saw this week had next to no information in them, but thanks to your video I have a much better idea now about the changes. Is the cut quality with this new thin kerf blade just as good?

    The new tracks are interesting to me since I just switched to side-by-side MFT table setup and might want to get another 1400. Though to be fair I just got the DashBoard and it's not nearly so difficult if I want to remove the track and put it back on and trust that it's true. I'm very pleased with that. (Go watch the Bent's "The ULTIMATE Assembly Table" video if you need to know more. They're a tiny company and it may take a couple months but it's soooooo worth it.)
    ***
    The new rail square seems like a pretty decent option as well with the single bar parallel guide. It also looks hugely lighter than the two side option Festool had (ignoring the rebranded TSO square).
    I don't have much luck with standard two bar parallel guides. They feel like a lot of work for little benefit.
    Maybe I'm just terrible with the parallel guides. Tools take practice. But if the rail square/material is actually true, referencing on one side only seems like it would produce the same result as having an extra reference in the middle.

    Very interesting video. After your review of the new battery powered TSC I had decided to go that route. Now I am thinking more about the new 55F. I am in shop based so the battery option is not as big to me. In your TSC video, I believe you mentioned you would be going to the TSC full time by replacing the other. Is that still your plan or has this new saw changed your thoughts?

    Do you plan a review/comparison video of the new rail square vs your Dashboard setup? I have ordered the Dashboard but it is on back order until April. It would be interesting to see if this new setup from Festool would suit my needs. My process is similar to yours in that I make my final cut(s) on the table saw. I seldom have a need for angle cuts-perfect square is more important-but having the ability to cut an angle could be useful.

Out of curiosity how accurate do you think the new variable angle Festool FS-WA angle stop for your track is as compared to either the Festool FS-WA/90 or TSO track squares are? Was really taken with the idea of their new design for the flexibility it brings (especially with the extension to increase the reference surface) and have seen one here for a good price, though let’s face it 95%+ of the time most of us will only need square cuts.

      Just depends on the situation, both work well and get the job done. I'm a little more inclined with the TSO, but that's just a personal preference. There's never a wrong reason to go with a dust extractor. The bag on the TSC fills up quickly, so unless you want to empty it often - best to go with a dust extractor.

    You said you’d been using the new thin kerf blades for a while. Was that in your old TS55, or did you have the new saw, too? (Really, the question is, can I just buy one of the new blades, and a replacement riving knife, and use that with my old saw?)
    You demonstrated that you were using your old rails with the new alignment bars. So, the new bars will work with old rails? How about the reverse? (Again, a compatibility question.)
    What about new new adjustable rail square? Can I use that with my old rails?
    This is the second or third video about the new TS55 F that I’ve watched where no one comes out and explicitly says, “The rail profile design is unchanged, and your old rails work with the new saw and all of the new rail accessories. Your old saw works with all the new things, too. We got you.” That would be nice to hear someone say, even though it seems certain to be true.

    • @bentswoodworking
      @bentswoodworking  2 роки тому +1

      The rail profile is unchanged. The connectors work in all of them. I used the thin kerf blades cause that’s what the cordless saw uses. And I doubt you will be able to retro fit and older saw.

I was dubious about the kick-back preventer as it is a very simple, plastic device; but, it worked perfectly and is very easy to disengage when necessary. Simple and functional is often the best way of doing anything! Festool can keep its over-priced TS-55 and TS-75! Who needs such a pricey tool when an inexpensive, simple one does the job?!

    @morokeiboethia6749 Рік тому

    Thin kerf blades give you the illusion that you have a strong motor. A thin kerf blade lowers the resistance of the blade during the cut and produces much less strain on the motor. The tradeoff is thin kerf blades will dull faster and you can not send them off to resharpen.
