| | |  | Black and Decker | Home » » » Festool TS 75 EQ Plunge Cut Circular Saw with 75-Inch Track | | | | | | | 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. | | | Features: | |
• 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.

unbeatable systemNov 04, 2009
By Elaine M. Schultz-kehoe
I can go on about this saw but I'm short on time. I do high end millwork fabrication, installation and corian fabrication. When in the shop I use a 10' sliding panel saw to cut most materials. While in the field I use the ts75. This saw has a larger blade than the older 55. I often will stack 3 sheets of 3/4 material and cut them all at the same time. It can cut any sheet stock, at any angle and at any bevel up to 45 degrees. It can also do it with no tear out, no burning and almost no dust. Unlike the panel saw it can also plunge cut and retract out of the material easily and with an almost flawless cut. The key is getting the correct accessories. like I said, the saw is part of a system. I have a ct22 dust collector, 2 55" rails, and one that is about 10 foot. If you think the saw is too expensive at $600, then you'll really flip when you see the cost of the entire system including blades, dust collector, rubber for the guides, clamps including the geckos, etc. But when you think about it, this saw will basically do what an expensive panel saw can do, a little slower, but its portable. The bottom line is this, if the saw died on me tomorrow, I would buy a new one while I waited for my old one to be repaired. Oh, and all their tools work together, for example: When cutting and seaming solid surface I can mount the guide rail for the saw, make my cut, readjust the rail, then pop on the festool router and mirror cut the two parts that will seam together. It works the first time, every time. I use the same rail, clamps and dust collector for both tools and both procedures. Once you start milling solid surface with these tools, you will never, ever want to go back to the old ways, without dust collection. The Germans really know how to design a tool.

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'M NOT GOING TO RUN ON ABOUT THIS SAW AND GO INTO HUGE DETAIL . ALL I'M GOING TO SAY IT'S THE FIRST FESTOOL I HAVE BOUGHT AND I KNEW THE FIRST TIME I MADE A CUT HOW BRILLIANT THIS TOOL ACTUALLY IS. I REACH FOR THIS SAW BEFORE LOOKING AT MY TABLE SAW ANYMORE.

 Great Saw, but heavy and bulkyDec 09, 2010
By Woody
This is a great saw for what its designed to do. You can do more precise work in a shop than you'd ever attempt with any other circular saw. The soft start is nice, variable speed, and plenty of power, it really is sweet. That said, it's the very last thing I'd ever take to a construction site. It's large and heavy and not particularly handy to operate for quicky applications. I wanted it because I don't have room for a panel saw and wanted to be able to do precise panel cuts. It's not fast, but it will do that.
