Festool HKC 55 5,0 EBI-Plus-SCA Cordless Circular Saw

At a Glance: 18 V cordless circular saw kit with 160 mm blade, 55 mm cutting depth, 2 x 5.0 Ah Bluetooth® batteries and SCA 16 rapid charger

The Festool HKC 55 5,0 EBI-Plus-SCA is a professional cordless circular saw kit built for mobile cutting power, accuracy and independence on site. Designed for carpenters, installers, roofers, timber workers and serious workshop users, the HKC 55 combines an efficient brushless EC-TEC motor with 18 V battery power for clean, controlled cutting without being tied to a mains cable. It is ideal for rip cuts, cross cuts, trimming boards, cutting roof battens, cutting chipboard and working with timber materials up to 55 mm thick. When paired with Festool FS guide rails or optional FSK cross-cutting guide rails, it becomes a highly accurate mobile cutting system for straight, angled and repeatable cuts.

Cordless Cutting Freedom With Festool Accuracy

The HKC 55 is made for site work where mobility matters. It gives the user cordless freedom while still fitting into Festool's guide rail system, making it a practical saw for accurate cutting on roofs, floors, workbenches and installation sites.

Product highlights

Extra Information

  • The HKC 55 5,0 EBI-Plus-SCA is supplied as a cordless circular saw kit with batteries and charger.
  • The kit includes two 5.0 Ah Festool BP 18 Li 5.0 ASI battery packs and an SCA 16 rapid charger.
  • The included WOOD STANDARD HW 160 x 1,8 x 20 W18 saw blade is suited to general timber cutting applications.
  • The saw is compatible with Festool FS guide rails for accurate straight cuts.
  • The saw is also compatible with optional Festool FSK cross-cutting guide rails for fast, repeatable angled cuts.
  • Bluetooth® battery packs can start compatible Bluetooth® Festool dust extractors automatically when the saw is switched on.
  • The angle range of 0 - 50° makes the saw useful for bevel cutting and site carpentry tasks.
  • For best cutting results, use a sharp saw blade matched to the material being cut.

Pro Tips

  • Use the optional FSK guide rail when doing repeated cross cuts or angled cuts on site. It turns the HKC 55 into a very efficient mobile cross-cutting system.
  • Use an FS guide rail when cutting boards or panels where a clean, straight line matters.
  • Set the cutting depth only slightly deeper than the workpiece thickness to improve control and reduce unnecessary blade exposure.
  • Use dust extraction whenever possible, especially when cutting indoors or cutting sheet materials.
  • Keep one battery charging while working with the other so the saw stays productive throughout the job.
  • Choose the correct Festool blade for the material. A sharp, suitable blade improves cut quality and reduces strain on the saw.

How to Use

  • Charge the BP 18 Li 5.0 ASI battery pack using the SCA 16 rapid charger.
  • Fit the correct saw blade for the material and make sure it is securely installed.
  • Insert the battery pack into the HKC 55 until it locks into place.
  • Set the required cutting depth according to the workpiece thickness.
  • Set the bevel angle if an angled cut is required.
  • Place the saw on the workpiece, FS guide rail or optional FSK cross-cutting guide rail.
  • Connect a suitable dust extractor to the 27/36 mm extraction connection if dust extraction is required.
  • Start the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed before entering the material.
  • Guide the saw steadily through the cut without forcing it.
  • Allow the blade to stop fully before setting the saw down or making adjustments.

Features

  • 18 V battery drive: Cordless system provides mobility for work on site, in the workshop or away from mains power.
  • 4 500 min⁻¹ idle speed: Delivers efficient cutting speed for timber and sheet material applications.
  • 160 mm saw blade: Compact blade size supports controlled handling while still giving a useful 55 mm cutting depth.
  • FastFix blade change: Makes blade changes quicker and safer, helping the user match the saw blade to the material.
  • Cutting depth adjustment with plunge function: Allows the cutting depth to be set clearly and accurately.
  • Pendulum hood remote control: Makes it easier to start cuts safely and handle the saw with control.
  • Guide wedge: Helps support safer and straighter cutting by keeping the kerf open behind the blade.
  • 27/36 mm dust extraction connection: Allows connection to a suitable Festool dust extractor for cleaner work.
  • Bluetooth® battery packs: Can communicate with compatible Bluetooth® Festool mobile dust extractors for automatic start-up.
