Festool 496305 Standard Ripping Blade - 12 Tooth Thin Kerf Blade For TS 55 Plunge Saw

About This Product

Festool TS 55 owners, this standard ripping blade is an absolute workhorse for woodworking! The 12-tooth design with ATB (Alternating Top Bevel) geometry is perfect for fast, efficient rip cuts in wood and soft plastics. The 2.2mm thin kerf means less material waste and less resistance during cutting - your saw works easier and batteries last longer. The oversized 20mm arbor provides super secure mounting that reduces vibration for cleaner, more precise cuts. Laser-cut expansion slots further minimize vibration and noise during operation. This blade produces glue-ready joints straight out of the cut - no additional planing or jointing needed for most applications. Perfect for cutting building panels, dimensional lumber, or any situation where you need straight, clean rip cuts. The quality is typical Festool - precision German engineering that delivers consistent results cut after cut. The carbide tips stay sharp much longer than cheaper blades, and the overall construction is built for professional use. While it's called a \standard\ blade, the performance is anything but standard - it's optimized specifically for the TS 55's power and precision. Whether you're a professional carpenter or serious DIYer, having the right blade makes all the difference in your results. This ripping blade complements the finer-tooth blades in your collection perfectly. If you do a lot of rip cutting and want clean, efficient results, this Festool blade is worth every penny. Your cuts will be smoother, your saw will work easier, and your projects will look more professional.
