Circular saws

Accurate cuts through solid wood or sheet material with a circular saw will allow you to master woodworking with ease and precision. The powerful motors of our circular saws mean that making swift progress while maintaining absolute precision is a piece of cake. The portable circular saw is ideal for undertaking work on boards, square timber, roofing boards and other workpieces. Just install the cordless battery and attach the dust extractor to the integrated extractor connector on the saw. That is all that is required for safe and dust-free work at all cutting depths. The professional cordless circular saw has been developed for manual operation and, when used in the system with an extractor and guide rail, provides maximum simplicity in day-to-day work. Festool circular saws impress users with their intuitive operation, considerable durability and excellent results, whether on construction sites or in workshops.

Further information about our circular saws

Whether you’re cutting roof battens to length, sawing lining boards or shuttering to size, cutting chip board to size, or creating rip and crosscuts in materials up to 55mm thick, our circular saws provide versatility, flexible usability, and maximum precision. Festool's circular saw range is designed as a complete cutting system rather than a collection of standalone saws. All circular saws are intended to work with rails, dust extractors, and purpose-designed blades to deliver highly accurate, low-splinter cuts.

Core features of our circular saws include cross cutting guide rails for precisely accurate repeat cuts, quick acting brakes for enhanced safety, and a patented guide system for the safe guidance of circular saws, plunge saws and other tools. Our circular saws are also portable, making them ideal for mobile use around construction sites. In addition, our HKC 55 K circular saw has great safety feature built just for you. The KickbackStop cuts down the risk of injuring your hands or circular saw when kickbacks happen. The built-in guide wedge stops the saw blade from getting stuck. Plus, the pendulum hood remote control lets you open the pendulum guard easily and safely. That way, safety really becomes a handy boost for your work. Unlike a traditional circular saw, Festool circular saws include a plunge-cut capability. You can pre-set the cutting depth and plunge directly into the workpiece when needed, giving more flexibility than a standard circular saw.

To ensure you can get the most out of your circular saw, we supply a wide range of accessories and consumable products. From battery packs and rapid chargers for your cordless circular saw, through to standard saw blades, laminate saw blades, universal saw blades, and fine tooth saw blades and guide rails systems, we’ve got everything you need to optimise the performance and longevity of your saw. You can easily hook up the circular saw to the cross-cutting guide rail FSK, making it perfect for precise, angled crosscuts. You’ve got the right cutting length for every need: 250 mm, 420 mm, or 670 mm.

Did you know that your HK 85 circular saw can become a groove router? With the adjustable groove cutter conversion kit, the versatile HK 85 circular saw becomes a groove router for transverse and longitudinal grooves, making it a real all-rounder. For grooves with a width of 16 mm to 25 mm and a depth of up to 35 mm.

Versatility is what makes our circular saw so popular on construction sites. Instead of carrying a circular saw, mitre saw and track saw, many carpenters can accomplish most cutting tasks with one circular saw and a couple of rails. Experienced Professionals frequently mention that the combination of an Festool circular saw and FSK rail provides shop-quality accuracy on site while remaining much more portable than a traditional compound mitre saw. Our cordless circular saw is a perfect match to 1st fix work on site, providing power and quality cut.

Armed with over 100 years of experience in providing quality and performance saws and other power tools, here at Festool, we offer a wide range of products that make life easier for professional tradespeople, helping them to achieve high quality results quickly and efficiently.
