Technologies for plunge saws
KickbackStop icon

KickbackStop

The intelligent KickbackStop prevents dangerous kickbacks when sawing and plunging into the workpiece. A sensor detects that the saw blade is jamming and stops the motor within a fraction of a second. This minimises the risk of injury when working with the plunge-cut saw and protects the workpiece.

Splinter guard

Splinter guard

The splinter guard on the rail and tool ensures splinter-free cuts on both sides when sawing with the track saw. For longitudinal and crosscuts in wood and coated materials, it prevents tearing of the edges and improves the cutting result. The splinter guard also increases the cutting quality when using the plunge saw for angular and mitre cuts.

Guide system

Guide system

Invented and perfected by us. The guide rail is for safe and zero-play guidance even for long cuts and grooves with the plunge saw. For even more precision and ease of work, the guide system offers screw clamps and lever clamps as well as cross-cutting guide rails, for repeat cuts at the correct angle with the plunge-cut saw.

FastFix

FastFix

The FastFix spindle stop makes it extremely easy to change the saw blade. The clamping flange means that the saw blades of plunge saws can be replaced without tools and without snagging. The correct saw blade is fitted in just a few steps for work with the saw that is adapted to the material.

Take a look at this application example, we're creating a storage space with an opening, embedded in a desk, for neatly storing a laptop immediately after work so that you can use the table for other purposes. The compartment can also be used for other inlays. As the cut out is being reinstalled as a open and close lid. We want to keep the grain the same, the cut must be absolutely splinter-free on the right and left of the saw blade. The plunge-cut saw with scoring function helps us to achieve this.

Festool has been known as a byword for trustworthy quality and absolute precision since the introduction of its circular saws in 1962 and its plunge-cut saws in 1980. Festool is continuing this tradition with the introduction of its new plunge-cut saw with scoring function. With a 60 mm cutting depth, it produces splinter-free sawing on both sides, right from the very first cut.

Since its invention nearly 60 years ago, Festool has continuously perfected the guide rail. The original model with new design and intelligent details will be available with immediate effect. The result: Straight and precise cuts – not just for carrying out horizontal work, but also now for vertical cuts on walls. In addition to the new FS-/2-KP guide rail, there are varied detailed solutions as well as intelligent and practical accessory parts.

INSIDE

Particularly when carrying out drilling and sawing work, the forces between the workpiece and the machine can suddenly increase, potentially with serious consequences for the tradesperson. With the new KickbackStop technology, which is used for the first time in the QUADRIVE TDC 18/4 and TPC 18/4 cordless drills and the new TSC 55 K cordless plunge-cut saw, these kickbacks are now a thing of the past. In an interview, lead developer Markus Schmid looks in detail at how this technology works in these types of machines.
