Pro Tips

Pair the HKC 55 with an FSK cross cutting guide rail when you need fast, repeatable cross cuts on site.
Use a fine tooth blade for cleaner cuts in panels and a coarser blade for faster ripping in timber.
Always set the cutting depth just slightly deeper than the material thickness for cleaner, safer cutting.
For long straight cuts in boards, use a Festool FS guide rail to keep the cut line accurate from start to finish.
