Festool HKC 55 KEB 18v Cordless Circular Saw 160mm

The Festool HKC 55 KEB is an 18V cordless circular saw designed for professional tradespeople who need reliable cutting performance across a range of on-site applications. With a 160mm blade diameter and a cutting depth of up to 55mm at 90°, it's well suited to carpentry, roofing, and site joinery tasks where accuracy and mobility matter.

Powered by a brushless EC-TEC motor running at 5,200rpm, the HKC 55 K delivers consistent cutting performance without the need for mains power. The saw is optimised for use with the 8.0 Ah Li-HighPower battery pack, and is also compatible with the 5.0 Ah Li-HighPower battery. The specially designed 1.6mm thin-cut saw blades reduce resistance through the cut, helping to extend battery run time on busy sites.

Safety features include the KickbackStop system and a built-in guide wedge, both designed to reduce the risk of blade binding and kickback during use. The pendulum hood remote control and spring-assisted plunge-cut function make the saw straightforward to operate, while the central clamping mechanism allows angle adjustment from 0 to 50° for accurate mitre cuts. Compatible with Festool's FS guide rail system and FSK cross-cutting guide rail, the HKC 55 K integrates into a broader system for precise, repeatable cuts on site.

Typical applications include cutting roof battens, profile boards, cladding, decking, OSB, chipboard, and shuttering boards.
