New 160mm Saw Blades. Perfect Results
- Work up to twice as fast – with consistently perfect cutting quality. Thanks to reduced cutting width and new toothing shapes.
- Low costs due to longer service life. Thanks to special geometry and high-quality carbide saw teeth.
- You can always rely on a perfect cut. Completely smooth-running and splinter-free cutting edges.
- Work even healthier. The reduced cutting width and thus less material chipping ensure lower dust levels.
- For Festool corded/cordless TS/C 55 160mm plunge saws and corded/cordless 160mm HK/C circular saws.

Sawing Applications
WOOD FINE CUT
The fine-cut blade for clean and splinter-free cross cuts in solid wood,laminated or veneered sheet materials and acrylic glass.
WOOD UNIVERSAL
The all-rounder for working with all types of wood and wood materials,as well as building panels and soft plastics.
WOOD RIP CUT
For fast working with little effort, especially for rip cuts on solid wood. Suitable for hardwood and softwood.
LAMINATE/HPL
Ideal for laminate and melamine-resin-bonded panels (e.g. Trespa®).
ALUMINIUM/PLASTICS
Highly suitable for aluminium sheets and profiles as well as fibre-reinforced and hard plastics.
ABRASIVE MATERIALS
The problem solver for cement and gypsum-bonded particle boards and fibreboards.
Tooth Shapes
Cross-cut tooth
The teeth are slanted on the left and right and cut alternately. This reduces the load on the individual teeth. This causes the saw blade to run smoothly and have a longer service life. In addition, this toothing ensures ideal cutting quality.
Trapezoidal cross-cut tooth
In addition to the cross-cut teeth, a "trapezoidal tooth" is used. This relieves the cross-cut teeth and ensures a high and even running smoothness as well as a long service life. Excellent cutting quality is also achieved here.
Trapezoidal/flat tooth
Trapezoidal and flat teeth are arranged alternately. The trapezoidal tooth is responsible for sawing progress, while the flat tooth ensures a clean cutting edge. The robust toothing results in a longer saw blade service life.
Flat tooth with variable chamfer
The flat teeth are slanted on the left and right and cut alternately, thus relieving the individual teeth. This results in consistent quality with a longer service life.
Flat tooth
The cutting edges of the teeth are straight. This makes the toothing robust. Each tooth cuts the same and is therefore used for hard materials such as steel and abrasive materials.

Sawing Overview
FAQs
Answers to frequently asked questions about the new saw blades.
Can the saw blades with 1.8 mm cutting width also be used in conjunction with the HKC 55 and the HK 55?
Yes, all 1.8mm saw blades are also suitable for the HKC 55 and the HK 55.
Can the saw blades with 1.8 mm cutting width from Festool be resharpened?
Yes, our saw blades can be resharpened up to ten times as usual.
Can the saw blades with 1.8 mm cutting width be used on the TS 55 R and TSC 55?
No, because the guide wedge of the TS 55 R as well as the TSC 55 is wider (2.2 mm cutting width) than the cutting width of the new saw blades (1.8 mm cutting width).
Can the saw blades with 2.2 mm cutting width be used on the TS 55 F and the TSC 55 K?
Only saw blades with 1.8 mm cutting width may be used with the TS 55 F and the TSC 55 K.
Can the TS 55 R and TSC 55 guide wedge be retrofitted so that the new saw blades (1.8 mm cutting width) can be used?
That is not possible for approval-related reasons.
