Product details

Greater power and endurance

The HKC 55 K's got a brushless EC-TEC motor that spins at 5,200 rpm. When teamed up with the power electronics and the 8.0 Ah battery pack, it delivers top-notch cutting performance and long battery life.

Mobile mitre saw system

You can easily hook up the HKC 55 K to the cross-cutting guide rail FSK, making it perfect for precise, angled cross-cuts. You’ve got the right cutting length for every need: 250 mm, 420 mm, or 670 mm.

More safety thanks to KickbackStop

The built-in KickbackStop cuts down the risk of injury from kickback when you're sawing. It keeps not just your workpiece safe, but your hands too.

Pendulum hood remote control

For a clear view of the saw blade and easy sawing, you can open the pendulum guard with a lever. That way, your hands always stay at a safe distance from the saw blade.

Guide wedge for a high level of safety

The guide wedge enables unobstructed, stress-free and therefore safe sawing. As it is integrated into the spring-mounted pendulum hood, it is also possible to carry out plunge cuts in a safe and unobstructed way.

1.6 mm thin circular saw blades

Specifically designed for cordless saws: For light cutting pressure, quick work and longer battery life. You can swap out the saw blade easily and fast with the FastFix spindle stop.

Depth setting with plunge feature

Simply push the lever and set the desired cutting depth using the scale. Unlock the plunge position and use the spring-supported plunge-cut function to safely and conveniently plunge into the preset depth.

Scribe mark = cut

Getting it just right, even for mitre cuts up to 50°. When you're using the HKC 55 K alongside the guide or cross-cutting guide rail, the scribe line is always the same as the cutting edge, even when you're making mitre cuts.

Viewing window and gauge marker

The open construction and the viewing window on the inside provide a good view of the scribe mark and saw blade. The continuous gauge marker also increases precision.

Precision guidance

The HKC 55 demonstrates its versatility when combined with the Festool guide rail system, too. For example, insulation boards can be cut to size quickly and accurately using the FS 1400/2.

Stay connected

You can always get important info about the saw thanks to its connection with the Festool app. This covers a detailed view of the battery's charge level, plus data on the current motor temperature or the KickbackStop feature. You can also get software updates.
