The FESTOOL HKC 55 KEB-F-Basic Cordless Carpentry Saw is a portable 18 V saw engineered for precision cuts on the jobsite, from framing to finishing. It works with Festool guide rails for fast cross‑cuts and straight cuts, and offers accurate angled cuts for a range of carpentry tasks.
Key operating technologies include a brushless EC‑TEC motor, sensor-based KickbackStop to arrest the motor in a fraction of a second, and a thin‑kerf blade with a 1/16" (1.6 mm) cutting width that reduces load for longer runtime and higher torque. The tool is optimized for use with the TBX 8 Tabless Battery and is also compatible with the 5.0 Ah Li‑HighPower Battery.
Controls are designed for straightforward handling: plunge-style cutting depth adjustment, a conveniently placed guard lever, and precise bevel adjustment from 0° to 50°. Built-in dust-extraction connections and compatibility with Festool guide rails support cleaner, more accurate work on site.
