    Default Festool TS 75 track saw

    My little TS 55 is struggling to cope with some of the work I'm throwing at it (and this heat doesn't help the poor diddums)

    I'm going to get a TS 75 - just seeing if Fe$tool will substitute the two 1400 rails that come with it in the current promo with a 2700 instead.

    If anyone is looking to move theirs on for a reasonable price, please let me know - needs to be quick as I'll order new before the annual price rise on 1 Jan.

    Here is one available used. Festool Ts 75 Ebq- Plus Aus Plunge Cut Saw
    I do not see the TS 75 very often second hand. Blade condition is not shown, but does come with two clamps for track saw.

    I think you've said this is sorted, but are you using the 48 tooth general purpose blade or a 12 tooth dedicated ripping blade like this


    changing the blade makes a huge difference to how hard the saw works

    Hi Ian

    I have the 12T ripper. It certainly made the TS55 almost capable, but not quite. I’ve been hacking through 3000x50mm iron bark sleepers. It’s pretty agricultural wood, so thickness varies - Even at full plunge depth the cut was a few mm too shallow much of the time, so I had to go back with a hand saw after each cut. Additionally, with this heat (Australia is burning, and we’re frequently hitting 40 deg C), I’d often get a couple of meters into a cut and the saw would shut down, even if I tried to cut slowly. That meant moving to another task for 10 min while the saw recovered.

    The 75 is fantastic. Locals didn’t have a rip blade in stock, but even with the standard 30T it goes through the sleepers like a hot knife through butter. I love it.
