Every year, approximately 4000 injuries are caused by circular saws, which equates to 16 injuries per working day. Around 26% of serious accidents even result in accident benefits1. With the new TKS 80 bench-mounted circular saw, serious injuries while sawing are a thing of the past. Sawing has never been safer. While you concentrate on your work, we'll protect your most valuable tool – your fingers.

  • Improved safety:We protect your fingers! The responsive sensor on the integrated SawStop technology guarantees safe sawing in non-conductive materials. SawStop technology can also be deactivated if necessary

  • Flexible:80-mm cutting height, extendable work surface, stopper and angle stop enable flexible work, even with large workpieces

  • Splinter-free cuts:Fewer splinters on the upper surface of the material in mitre rip cuts by swivelling the saw blade to the left. Splinter-free cutting results on the underside of the material when using the splinter guard

  • Protects your health:Dust extraction attachment with CLEANTEC extraction sleeve for dust-free work and a free view of the workpiece

  • Space-saving:Tool garage attached on the side provides optimal storage space for saw blades, cartridges and push sticks

Product highlights


We protect your fingers!
The first Festool saw with innovative SawStop technology for increased safety while sawing. If the saw blade comes into contact with the user's skin, it stops immediately and disappears into the work surface – making cutting injuries a thing of the past.


Splinter-free cuts
Fewer splinters on the upper surface of the material in mitre rip cuts by swivelling the saw blade to the left. Clean cutting results, even on the underside of the material, when using the splinter guard.


Flexible to use
Variable work up to a cutting height of 80 mm, a work surface that can be extended in its length and width, and improved flexibility thanks to the angle stop.
