Buy Festool TS 75 EQ Plunge Cut Circular Saw with 75-Inch TrackFestool TS 75 EQ Plunge Cut Circular Saw with 75-Inch Track Product Description:
- When used with Festool guide rails (75 inch rail included), you can achieve perfectly straight and splinter-free cuts.
- Spring-loaded riving knife (splitter) keeps the cut kerf open so that the material does not pinch the blade. This reduces the chance of kickback.
- The slip clutch helps to minimize the risk of a kickback and minimizes wear on the blade, gear case, and motor.
- Blade changes are easier and safer using the FastFix system which locks switch and arbor simultaneously for easy arbor bolt removal.
- MMC electronics provide soft start, variable speed, constant speed under load, and current and thermal overlad protection.
Product Description
Cut as straight as a panel saw with the versatility of a portable saw. The Festool TS 75 EQ plunge saw has a multitude of uses, from fine carpentry to cutting spiral staircase steps; from rough timber to cutting out window frames in renovation work. The TS 75 is a larger saw with greater cut depth than the Festool TS 75 EQ. Portable circular saws often react unexpectedly. They wander off line and are subject to play in the guide. Its a quick way to ruin expensive material. But not the TS 75 EQ and included guide rail: the saw blade makes its cut absolutely straight and splinter-free. Perpendicular or even beveled, the choice is yours. As a plunge saw, it can start and end a cut accurately anywhere on the material. Equally important, on the TS 75 , the saw blade and riving knife retracts into the housing, unlike on conventional pendulum-cover saws, where the cover retracts instead of the blade. This automatically means greater intrinsic safety.

This is by fourth Festool tool. My first was the Rotex sander, second as a cordless drill, fourth was the Kapex chop saw and now the TS75. After buying the Rotex 150, I vowed only buy Festool power tools. They are expensive, but they are no less than 3 times better than any competitor tools. The sander can take a rough sawn piece of tropical hardwood down to glossy finish within minutes, the drill has an incredible amount of torque for a 12 volt Ni-Cd (they finally released a Li ion drill that even beats out my drill), the Kapex is light weight and only 10 inches but cuts more than some 12 inch saws without the problems of a 12 inch blade and it is quiet, and finally the TS75...This saw will replace my SawStop cabinet saw. It is easy to set up. The guides allow for stable and precision cutting and I am cutting down instead of up like my table saw. Even though I have a SawStop, table saws are still dangerous with large sheets of plywood. Using the Festool makes it a breeze! This 75 is bigger and heavier than the 55 so I probably wouldn't use the 75 for everyday cutting if I had the 55. But, the 75 can cut through heavy stock and has no problem with plywood considering it is direct drive.Buy it. Buy everything they make. There are no sales unless it is a new tool.Enjoy changing the way you work.

I hav seen the reviews on Amazon, and on You Tube. They are right. This saw is amazing. Properly set up (which is easy to do), this saw cuts veneered plywood without a hint of tearout (with it's standard combination blade). It is also more accurate than most table saws. The shop I have some access to has a panel saw for cutting down sheet goods (plywood, etc.). It cost the shop about $2,500. For about $1,000 I bought this saw, with a 55 inch rail, and the Festool HEPA vacuum. The saw plugs into the vacuum, which then starts automatically when the saw is triggered on. Expensive? Not when you consider what it can do.

By photonashville
I've never owned Festool before. I always thought the prices were too high for a home workshop, but I have too limited a space to own a large table saw with huge extensions for cutting down and cutting precisely large sheets of plywood. I have been using a worm drive saw and aluminum rail which has worked OK, but that setup has only gotten things to 1/16" accuracy at best.I am building large drawers and doors for a mudroom built-in. The quality of cuts from the TS75 are first rate. Glue edge cuts, true! No burn marks, true! Accuracy is easily 1/32-1/64" on large sheets of ply. I'm very happy with the saw and guide rail. No issues to report.While the TS55 would be easier to use being a lighter saw, it wouldn't allow me future options, such as ripping thick rough cut walnut boards which are drying in my back yard for flooring and such to be used in the next year or more. Honestly, the TS75 isn't that heavy. Work with a wormdrive circular saw for a long time at about 18+ lbs and a 13 lbs saw seems featherweight. The TS75 is well balanced and comfortable to carry and position for cuts.My order came directly from Tool Nut through Amazon. Shipping was prompt, ordered on a Sunday evening and it arrived on Wednesday. The rail was boxed well with no damage. The saw systainer was packaged nicely in another cardboard box for protection in transit. Nice to receive everything in top condition.Saw setup is simple. Included instructions aren't that good, but I had watched several youtube videos that demoed everything I needed to know.First attach the saw splinter guard, adjust the two cam knobs on the saw base to make it tight on the rail, then rip just the guide rail to establish a clean line on the full length plastic splinter guard edge. Then you can use that rail edge for accurate placement on cut marks. I have yet to use any clamps. I just lay the guide rail on the work and cut. The friction strips on the bottom of the rail holds quite nicely to surfaces to prevent slipping.The 75 inch rail is a good intermediate length. Not enough to rip an 8 foot sheet but fine for anything under 6 feet. The saw power is nice, cuts through 2 sheets of 3/4" ply with no hesitation. I own a Fein 9 gallon Turbo II vac. The Fein hose fits just fine inside the TS75 dust port, and with the saw plugged into the vacuum, I get auto on/off of the vac when using the saw. I am amazed at how clean the air is in my work space even after hours of cutting. Very small amounts of saw dust on the floor, nothing visibly floating in the air. That alone is worth the price of admission. My wormdrive saw makes one heck of a mess, so I usually setup in the back yard to keep the shop clean. Now I can cut cleaner, setup faster, cut faster, cut more accurately using the Festool.I've been eyeing Tenryu blades for the TS75 when I need either a new blade or a rip blade. They make 3 blades, 18, 36, 54 teeth. All at a reasonable price from $52-67. I have a Tenryu 10 inch blade for my Bosch table saw which does a great job.I would say the only very minor frustration comes from the metric scale for the cut depth. I think I'll use my label maker or something to put an imperial scale along side it for quicker work.I'm certain there is a longer guide rail in my future, the 106" or 118", expensive though. But for now, I'm content with the standard setup.
