Festool Wood Fine Cut Saw Blade, 35-Tooth x 160mm for TSC 55 / HKC 55 Track Saws (578590)

The Festool WOOD FINE CUT Saw Blade, 35-Tooth - 6-5/16 in. (160mm) (item 578590) is a fine-tooth circular saw blade designed for clean, splinter-free finish cuts in solid wood and veneered or coated panels. This is a saw blade designed for finish carpentry, cabinetry, and furniture-grade panel work where cut quality matters as much as speed. It's built specifically for Festool's cordless plunge-cut track saw platform, and it's sized to drop straight into the saws it's designed for with no adapters or spacers needed.

The 35-tooth count and optimized tooth geometry are tuned for smooth, precise crosscuts rather than fast ripping — the tighter tooth spacing means more cutting edges contacting the material per pass, which is what keeps veneer faces and coated melamine from chipping at the cut line. A 0.06-in (1.6mm) cutting width (thin kerf) reduces the resistance the motor has to overcome, which matters most on a cordless saw where every watt pulled from the battery is a watt you don't get back until the next charge — less resistance means more cuts per charge and less strain on the saw's motor.

The blade body measures 6.29-in (160mm) in diameter with a 0.79-in (20mm) bore, sized for direct mounting with no bushing required. The plate is made from steel with fine-grain carbide teeth brazed on in a WWWF tooth pattern, a tooth shape suited to clean crosscutting rather than aggressive ripping. Festool's color-coding on the blade body also means you can identify it as a fine-cut blade at a glance instead of having to check the packaging every time you swap blades.

This blade is designed to work with the Festool HKC 55 K cordless track saw, TSC 55 K, and TSC 55 KS cordless track saws — it's not a universal 6-5/16-in blade, so check that your saw is one of those three before ordering. Within that system, it's the blade to reach for anytime a project calls for a finished edge rather than a rough cut: cabinet installation, furniture building, and any panel cutting where the visible face has to look factory-clean.

Buy this blade if you're a finish carpenter, cabinet installer, or furniture builder running a Festool cordless track saw and need a dedicated crosscut and panel blade instead of relying on the general-purpose blade that came with the saw. If your work is mostly rough framing or ripping dimensional lumber, this isn't the right blade — save it for the cuts where the finished surface actually shows.

The Blade You Swap In Right Before the Cut Everyone Sees

The Festool WOOD FINE CUT Saw Blade is the difference between a cut that needs sanding and a cut that's ready to install.

• Who it's for: Cabinet installers, finish carpenters, and furniture builders running an HKC 55 K, TSC 55 K, or TSC 55 KS cordless track saw who need splinter-free edges on plywood, veneer, and coated panels.
• Why it stands out: The thin 1.6mm kerf and 35-tooth crosscut grind cut resistance and tear-out at the same time, which is a tougher balance to strike than it sounds.
• Worth knowing: This is a finish blade, not a rip blade — it's fitted to a specific set of Festool cordless saws, so double-check your saw model before you order.

• Will this fit my TS 55 track saw? No. This blade is sized and designed for the cordless HKC 55 K, TSC 55 K, and TSC 55 KS track saws only — check your saw model before ordering.
• Is this a good blade for ripping lumber? Not ideally. It's built for clean crosscuts and panel work, not fast ripping. Its 35-tooth fine grind favors finish quality over cutting speed.
• Why does the thin kerf matter on a cordless saw? A thinner cutting width means the motor has to remove less material per pass, which lowers the power draw and gets you more cuts out of each battery charge.
