Festool TS 60K 168mm Plunge Cut Saw

A joy to use – I bought this saw as an upgrade from an older TS75 Festool model, which had seen a lot of use and after being dropped on the work site a couple of times was no longer the machine it once was. A test cut with the new TS 60K made it clear I needed to put a new splinter guard strip on my tracks because the new saw had a thinner blade and made the cut slightly different from the old model.

When that was done I started cutting some melamine-coated 20mm hardwood ply panels for a cabinetry project. I was amazed by the difference. Firstly the saw ran a lot quieter than the old model. The cut accuracy was incredible and the new blade sliced through the ply so easily. It also made a much cleaner cut with no chips at all. I previously had to edge the cut panels with a router to clean up the cut. No need for that anymore. It's also much easier to set the depth of cut with a high degree of accuracy.

I love this saw. It's a joy to use. It will save me so much time and give me a much better quality end product. Highly recommended.

This makes precision effortless – I have used the old ts55 in the past and I thought this would be the same but I was wrong, this is actually so much better and safer. It's quiet and cuts so smoothly, a pleasure to use.
