Festool 577014 Plunge-Cut Track Saw TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus-FS with 55-Inch (1400mm) Guide Rail

There is a lot of talk about the cost of Festool tools. Highly recommend them due to their precision, quality and design. I find my track saw I’d light and easy to use. Just now building a cross cut table to speed up the shorter repetitive cuts made in closet and drawer bank builds.

Je pensais avoir le tout en très bon état. Ont est très loin de ça.

Okay so if this is your first Festool brand tool, One thing to be aware of which I didn't know is that the dust collection connection for this thing is kind of a proprietary hookup that will not work with most shop vacs. They expect you to use their dust collectors which are supposedly really awesome but very expensive. So don't make the mistake I made and buy this thing thinking you'll be good to go. You can probably rig it up with tape or some unofficial adapters to work on a generic Shop-Vac. So far I've just taken it outside to cut and had it spit the dust on the floor but that's obviously not ideal. Okay dust collection woes of a poor man aside, This thing cuts through wood like butter! The track it uses makes it easy to line up the perfect cuts and with the corded power this thing just zips through wood and creates very clean lines. The instructions are great and there are tons of videos online too if you want. The build quality is superb and having the box to store it in is great so it stays protected and organized. Overall I really like it but one of these days I'm going to have to also get a dust collector which are several hundred dollars minimum. They have a lot of different dust collectors and I'm actually going to have to research which one to get but none of them are cheap by usual definitions.

Works better than had expected after researching different models for a long time, I am very happy with the performance and the quality of the saw and the cuts. Cut through 1" oak like it wasn't there, and clean enough doubt would need to joint it for a glue up. Mostly have used for plywood building cabinets where large sheets are difficult in my shop to get through the table saw, cuts are also clean and the chip guard works excellent. Also very nice dust collection, almost nothing makes it to the floor of my shop. One complaint is the dust collection connector doesn't appear to fit any of my current attachments, this is my first Festool brand, but my other tools, mostly Bosch, connectors aren't the same size so may need to order a hose or 3d print a connector.

This is an excellent German made tool. It's easy to use and provides smooth accurate cuts. I had a problem with one of the parts and the vendor worked with Festool to get what I needed with the least amount of trouble.
