## Summary

A cordless carpentry saw with 55 mm depth, bevel to 50° and KickbackStop. Clipped to an FSK cross-cutting rail it becomes a portable mitre saw for boards, battens and decking.

## Why this one

- **FSK compatible**: Locks onto cross-cutting rails for repeatable mitre cuts.
- **0–50° bevel**: Central clamp adjusts the bevel in one move.
- **KickbackStop**: Stops the blade if the saw kicks back.
- **55 mm depth**: Plunge-style depth setting with remote guard lever.

## The story

### For timber framing and roofing

Carpenters and roofers use the HKC 55 K for rip and cross cuts in battens, cladding, boarding, decking and sheet materials such as OSB and wood-fibre insulation board. Depth is set with a plunge action, the pendulum guard can be opened from the handle, and the bevel adjusts through a single central clamp from 0 to 50°. A riving knife and KickbackStop make it safer on wet or tensioned timber.

### One saw, two guide systems

On an FSK cross-cutting rail (250, 420 or 670 mm) the saw locks in and springs back after each cut, giving repeatable square and mitred cross cuts on site. On a standard FS rail it rips sheet material straight. The brushless motor runs at 5,200 rpm with 1.6 mm thin-kerf blades, and Festool recommends the 8.0 Ah pack for long runtimes. Supplied with a WOOD STANDARD blade in a Systainer³ SYS3 M 337.
