The Best Festool Plunge Saws (UK 2026)
Festool effectively created the modern plunge-saw-and-rail system, and its TS (corded) and TSC (cordless) range remains the benchmark for cut quality, dust extraction and rail accuracy.
The Festool range
The TS 55 is the classic all-rounder; the TS 60 and TS 75 cut deeper; and the TSC cordless models bring the same quality without a cable. Festool's FS guide rails, near-perfect dust extraction and precise depth control are what people pay the premium for. They're the tool many trades aspire to.
