HKC 55 K Cordless Carpentry Saw
Engineered for power, designed for precision, built for reliability. From framing to finishing, anywhere on the jobsite, the HKC 55 K Cordless Circular Saw gives you the power and flexibility to handle every cut with confidence. From fast cross-cuts with the FSK cross-cutting Guide Rail, to precise straight cuts with the FS Guide Rail, to accurate angled cuts—the HKC 55 K is built for serious versatility in everyday tasks.
The brushless EC-TEC motor and advanced electronics work in perfect sync to maximize the TBX 8 Tabless Battery. Paired with the specially designed thin-kerf blade 1/16” (1.6 mm), the saw delivers higher torque, longer runtime, and faster cutting performance. The result: cleaner cuts, extended battery life, and less effort on every cut.
The latest generation introduces sensor-based KickbackStop technology, which reacts in a fraction of a second to arrest the motor and blade. This innovation helps reduce disruptions caused by kickback, helping protect your workpiece and keeping your workflow smooth. The integrated riving knife helps prevent the blade from binding, while the conveniently placed guard lever makes operation easier.
Attach the FSK cross-cutting Guide Rail securely to the saw and take it wherever the job requires. Quick, precise cross-cuts are easy to achieve, while integrated angle guides provide repeatable cuts from -60° to +60°. The automatic return function helps maintain consistent and efficient cross-cuts every time.
For straight and angled cutting, the HKC 55 K is fully compatible with Festool guide rails. Bevel adjustment from 0° to 50° provides precise beveled cuts, while the scribe line aligns with the cut line when using the guide or cross-cutting rail—even at an angle.
Strengths and Benefits
- Performance that lasts: Brushless EC-TEC motor and advanced electronics deliver maximum power and efficiency.
- More power and longer runtime: Optimized for the TBX 8 Tabless Battery for maximum runtime and performance. Also compatible with the 5.0 Ah Li-HighPower Battery.
- Precision in every cut: Thin-kerf 1/16” (1.6 mm) blades reduce motor load, improve runtime, and deliver cleaner cuts.
- Kickback protection: Sensor-based KickbackStop reacts in a fraction of a second to stop the motor and blade, helping reduce disruptions caused by kickback.
- Riving knife: Integrated riving knife helps prevent the blade from binding for unobstructed, stress-free cutting.
- Mobile miter saw system: Connect to the FSK cross-cutting Guide Rail for quick, precise cross-cuts at the jobsite.
- Effortless handling: Conveniently placed guard lever and cutting-depth adjustment with plunge function make operation simple and intuitive.
- Precise depth control: Easily set the desired cutting depth using the integrated scale and spring-supported plunge-cut function.
- Accurate bevel cuts: Precise angle adjustment from 0° to 50° for repeatable beveled cuts.
- Scribe Line = Cut Line: When used with the guide or cross-cutting rail, the scribe line is exactly the cut line—even at an angle.
- Fast blade changes: FastFix spindle stop makes changing the thin-kerf blade quick and simple.
- Versatile system integration: Fully compatible with Festool guide rails for precise cutting across a wide range of applications.
