- Sedge walks us through calibrating your track saw to your guide rail. Sedge also says to ensure your saw is unplugged or without batteries when calibrating. Before calibrating if your saw has started cutting differently, there are other steps to try. Make sure you clean your blade and, in some cases, replace your blade.

Wow that was a great video Sedge. Always learn something valuable from you, thanks very much!
Glad to hear it!
Thank You Sedge for this Tip .
Greetings from Vienna 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Another great takeaway! Professor Sedge, you did a great job showing us how to calibrate our tracksaw. Than kou
Glad it was helpful!
Watching here in the UK, really enjoy your channel, the information is super helpful, thank you very much Sedge!
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for the tip and demo Sedge! I never would have thought of this. My 55 FEQ cuts beautifully, but I'll keep this one in the book of tricks.
no worries ...glad it was helpful....
Thank you Sedge. Very helpful for future reference. I have the TS 55 FEQ.
Great to hear!
Thanks Sedge; this is great to know now that I have more than one TS.
Glad to help
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was struggling with this for a loooooong time!
Glad it helped!
Great instruction. I have three rails and have never calibrated my saw but as soon as I finish typing this I’m going to my shop to do it. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you….. this video just saved me big time on a table I’m working on.
Glad it helped!
This is awesome and helpful for those of us with Makita saws too
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect, congratulations, Very good sedge!
Thanks Marcos
This is the best video you’ve done yet, thanks! Would love to see one on how to quickly set blade exactly 90 degrees to bottom plate of saw. I can do it but I’m sure there’s an easier way.
Great suggestion!
@@sedgetool I was gonna ask for that as well. Do you suggest just using one of the set screws to adjust to 90, and then once you have it just lock down the assembly and snug up the other set screw?
Hi Sedge, have you shot the video on setting 90 already? And if not, could you include setting the angle scale too? So setting 45 also makes a 45 bevel?
Great video Sedge... I just bought my first Festool track saw recently (TS 55 FEQ) and I'm learning a lot from you about them. I appreciate all you have done for us to have less frustration woodworking with tools. Have a great one 👍🏻👊🏻
Rock on! Thanks Matt !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Sedge, super helpful
Happy to help!
Thank you Serge, I have learned about from you and make expenses because of you ❤😘😎
OK
Sedge you are the best man! 💪👍😄
aw shucks.... Thanks !!!!🤙
Very helpful. Thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
Ive always used different rails for the 75 and 55. Amazing Sedge thanks for this one
No worries ....
You have one happy viewer from Israel thanks And keep going.
Thank you very much !!!
Awesome. Thx Sedge you rock
Thanks Martin !!!!!!!!!!
Super clear. Thank you
Glad it helped
Did not need it till now. But good to know. I love my TS. Great Video. Thx
Glad to help
Wow that is awesome...so I just purchased a Recon Track Saw TS 75 EQ-F-Plus but have a Makita Track saw and Makita tracks 118" & 55". Lucky for me this video showed up in my feed on the same day. With any luck I should be able to Calibrate it to the Makita Tracks and be all setup to rock and roll.
Right on
Thank You Sedge
you bet !!!
Ok i didn't know that you could actually adjust that with your saw! Massive save for me cause i notice my saw isn't cutting as well as it should be. But been using it at work for 7 years! so good effort!
Glad I could help!
Great Tip vor calibration !
Glad it was helpful!
This is awesome sauce!
Glad you think so!
Thanks dude great video
Thanks Travis !!!
Must you keep finding ways to make me buy more and more Festool stuff? Just kidding Sedge, Festool has really changed my life, great video.
Right on!
This is something I need to do n my DeWalt track saws, (two of them) but was forced to send them out to have this done! Thanks!!
oh
Perfect, thank you!
You're welcome!
This man knows his stuff 🇬🇧👍
Thanks...
brilliant. greetz from germany
Thanks !!!!
Oh my Good Lord!!!! Thank you so much!!!!! I dropped my ts55feq a bit ago and I tried to align the bottom plate even which of course is wrong! It was cutting funky! Now I'm going to fix it and align my saw and rails and my business partners saw and rails all the same!!! Thank you!!!!
Glad it helped!
@@sedgetool it really did! I got my saw all lined up right and restuck my guide pieces and recut them and everything is working great again!!
Seen thousands of vids about tracksaws, but this was new to me. 👏👍
Got to figure out now if this is possible with my Bosch tracksaw.
Many thanks for this video.
What else did we learn? Reading the manual is not as bad as many of us think 😂😂😂😂
Glad it helped
The reason I decided on Festool for my retirement hobby workshop was the vast amount of quality education.
Professor Sedge’s presentations have confirmed my decision time and time again.
About 30 years ago I was trained in orthopaedic surgery - plates, pins, screws, bolts etc by the Swiss Synthes AO system.
It was an intensive 5 day course, mornings were practical classes, afternoon were theory, including metallurgy and physics.
I then realised that high performance results with very high quality tools also required high quality training and education.
Comparison videos on Festool V Makita, for example, ignores this essential factor. These sort of videos are meaningful for an experienced and expert woodworker, but are misleading for us newbies.
Most people do not understand the focus on education by Festool.
I based my very successful practice by educating clients, who were hungry to get information and knowledge.
This devotion to education helps explain the fanatical client loyalty to Festool.
Thank you sooooooooo much !!!!
Couldn't agree more mate!
I wanted to buy a second track saw, but not more rails. Now that reason is gone. Thank you Sedge.
🤙
Thank you..well done
Our pleasure!
Good to know. Thank you!
You bet!
Never knew this, thanks!!
Happy to help!
Thanks for that
🤙
That is awesome. I have been using my TS 55K on my MFT. Now I can use my old TS 55REBQ once I've reset it. Thanks Sedge.
Right on!
youre a smart cookie, I was thinking today how to calibrate my 2 saws to the single rail
Thanks !!!
Hey Sedge! I knew this was possible because one of the techs in Indiana informed me but seeing a how-to video is wicked helpful 🤙👌
Glad I could help!
@@sedgetool Sedge Tool is my video manual on so many things - I didn’t want to mess up the alignment on my TS 75 so it’s remained in its systainer, but this is so easy.
Excellent! Now I can get rid of the duplicate rails I have for each saw. 😀
Thanks Mike !!!!
Gerade Job 😊
thanks
You started talking about this at JC Licht in Addison. I didn’t know it was possible because who reads the manual. Should be helpful when I get the TS 60 😜
Thanks Matthew...
@@sedgetool I see the HK saws have the same adjustment also
Great video as always guys. Perfect timing on this video Sedge. I already have an older TS55 and I recently got a TSC55K because my grandson and granddaughter both want to start doing some projects with me and I felt that would be a better option for them. Now I can adjust the TSC to my other tracks. Does the HKC also have the ability to adjust to an existing track?
Have a great week guys.
Ron
yes you can but it is a little more in depth....only if you have to
Did he say "wicked dull"? I love it!!
wicked .....
great
🤙
Toe ya sahhh! 😁👌
🤙
Thanks! Do you know if Festool is going to bring the cordless kapex and a cordless 75 to usa market?
I do not know
I will be of great help if you could create a video on how to calibrate 90/0 degree on the saw.
Great suggestion!
Hey Sedge, Johnny O from Atco NJ: great video; I learned how to calibrate my new TS55 FEQ! I do have a question related to the saw blades for this saw. The saw comes with the 48 tooth fine cut blade, I occasionally will rip hard woods and I find myself using MDF a lot. Can I get away with the 28-tooth Universal blade or should I get the Panther blade if I were to choose just one?
Thw 28 tooth blade works great for what you need
@@sedgetool Thank you Sedge.
Can this same method be used on the HKC 55? Can’t remember what the screws/toe adjustment looks like without looking.
Only for TS saws
Hi Sedge. I use multiple guide rails with my one saw are they all machined exactly that it will be the same with all of them? Hope that makes sense. Thanks Bill
Yes, exactly
My husband used my track saw to cut flooring. UGH! It was not pretty. But every since… my saw cuts horrible. I think it’s dirty so I’m going to clean it first. It has some burning and bogs down. Feels hard to push it through. I’ll clean it… but this is great to know if that doesn’t do the trick.
Got it cleaned tonight. Burning is gone. BUT… still bogging down a little. So I checked the calibration. The front is touching… so is the back though. So I assume… I need to to adjust my toe? LOL. TOW? Or TOE? Screws are on the bottom of mine. My screws are on the bottom. So I’m really glad you showed how to do that.
Glad to help !!!
Hi Sedge, I can’t find the supplemental manual for the TS 75on the Festool web site. Can you tell me where I can find it? Awesome video!c
you can find all the supplemental manuals her....Use the TS55 one for the TS75
www.waterfront-woods.com/festool/
Thank you for this video.
Just got my first festool track saw ever
Tsc 55 KEBI
it’s amazing!
When you toe the saw blade, does it also help battery life as it’s not dragging the whole blade through the wood?
You should not have to toe the saw ....It is factory toed already...It only needs to be adjusted if you drop the saw or it goes out of whack somehow...
Thank you for the reply. I checked it out so I know how to do it. Cuts amazing
Great Video. I need some advice please. I have a job that requires 1.5" X 25" Birch Butcher Block counter tops. I have to make a miter cuts for the one inside corner (L Shape counter), this has to be done on-site. What are your thoughts on the 75 being able to cut through the 1.5" I have 35 of these Tops will the saw live through 70 cuts?. Thank You!
yep the TS75 would be my choice.
Hi Sedge! I believe my blade is out of square to the base, but I checked that it was in the 0º position. I cut 5/4 S4S stock and I noticed the cut I made is not 90º. How would I re-calibrate it?
There is a variety of reasons why it may be out...... I would suggest sending it to Festool to have them go over the saw. I would call first.
This is great! I've been looking for an explanation of how to calibrate the newer saws with the bolts on the underside. But I have a question... Isn't what you've done just calibrating the second saw to the cut made by the first saw (rather than calibrating it to the rail)? If the first saw wasn't calibrated to the rail, then the second saw won't be either. If your first cut through the wood wasn't perfectly lined up with your rail's splinter strip, then it still won't be even after this process. It'll just be correctly toed. What should you do if you only have one saw, and it's not cutting along the line of the splinter strip?
replace the splinter guard and recut it after you toe it !!
@@sedgetool or I guess you could set it closer to the rail so it cuts a fresh line on the strip and not have to get a new strip.
Thank you Sedge. Can [Edit:HK - sorry] be calibrated in the same way?
nope
Hi @sedgetool, For a TS60K, can you confirm that the adjustment screws for this procedure are the single screws on both sides of the top of the saw which are holding down the metal blocks (below the angle adjustment knobs)? Neither the screws or metal piece are specifically called out in functional description section of the TS60K operation manual, but are visible on the diagram.
I have not had the opportunity to toe the TS60K........ I do not know the procedure ...... It is not the same as in this video...
@@sedgetool Thank you. When you do eventually get the opportunity, it would be helpful if you could cover the procedure in a short or updated video. I really do enjoy the educational content that you have put out - I've found a lot of the other topics you've done very helpful.
Once you do that calibration, do you get all the cuts exactly on the splinter guard line irrespective of the depth of cut?
Luis. Interesting question.
I had a contractor saw with a 1.8 mm kerf blade, a corded plunge saw and a cordless plunge saw 2.2mm kerf blade.
I wanted to know of the saw cuts the same distance from the guide rail fence. And you know? It was spot on.
I'm not sure if it's 2mm from the aluminium of the fence. This been said festool have done a good job in making the saw cut a certain distance from the fence.
Yes
Can you please show how to do it on the hkc55? Thank you
thanks
Looking at the TS60, I'm guessing that single screw on either end of the saw is what you need to loosen to adjust for toe-in on these new saws.
Adjust it using the 4 screws ... 2 above in front and 2 below in back just like in the video on the newer TS55
Why front blade and back side blade has a spacing? Is this because for avoiding kick back?thank you @sedgetool
yes ...to avoid kick back and burning ... just like a table saw is toed out
Hi Sedge
I just got a TSV 60 K. I calibrated it as per blades and cutting.
However the blade and cut line are miles from the splintergard. Does that need to be toed as well? And also match my other track saw.
I use a completely separate track for my TS60V and replace it and cut it when I am initially setting it up .....after calibrating the 2 blades....
Have you forgotten to tight the screws in the front? Thank you for the video
Thanks ...I will check
Do I have to calibrate everytime I switch between rails? i only have one saw. I use three rails. One for straight line ripping 8ft ply, one on the mft. And one for rough crosscut.
nope ...1 set up is needed if you even have tooo... don't mess with your saw if it is cutting well.
@@sedgetool 👍
Do I have to calibrate the saw to the rail before or after the initial cut of the splinter guard on the rail? Thanks!
after...if it is a new saw then you do not have to calibrate
Hey sedge, I have a tsc 55 keb. are the adjustments the same as the reb?
yes
@sedgetool would a Bicycle playing card work too or is that too thick?
that should work as well
The toe adjustment is what i need to do if the blade doesnt cut right next to the line even though track rail is at the markings?
I would replace the spinterguard first on the rail and recut...it may be off that way..If not then adjust the toe of the saw.
@@sedgetool thanks for reply! I just replaced the splinterguard and the blade took off 2-3 mm of it, but its off the lines. Ill try the toe adjustment👍🏼
Sedge, I'm having trouble with my TS 55 K. I make a pencil mark on the plywood and place the rail against it. But the cut length is never exactly what I want it to be. Is this the video that I need to watch to help me with this?
It should be...
How to set ts75 eq to 47 degrees? Thank you
ok
Us the method any different for the hk55?
I have NEVER done that with the HK55 ... this method is for the TS saws
How do I check for 45 degrees on the ts55 req?
I use a gauge block
Because the TSC 55 blade is 1.8 mm vs 2.2 for the saws in your demo, can you use a rail that has been “set up” for a 2.2 mm blade with the TSC 55?
yes ... because you are toeing the front tooth of the side to the splinter guard. ... hope this makes sense
You mean to the side of the wood you just cut, which is the inside splinter guard?
What about if you are using the thin rips on the parallel guides? Shouldn’t that mean that you toe it the other direction?
huh ??????????????????????????
@@sedgetool With the stops on the extensions of the parallel guide, there is no extra room right of the blade. The board is up against the stops just as if a table saw fence was move to the other side of the blade. If you want to avoid pinching the board between the stops and the blade, wouldn't you want to toe it such that the trailing edge of the blade was further from the stops instead of being further from the rail?
@@popebobcat3716 nope .....way too much over thinking
Style: 110-Inch Track
ok
Hk85 and hk55 calibration ?
Hk on rail and calibration track saw🤔?
FS not FSK rail
Gotta say, I could not find a supplemental manual for my TS60 nor information on calibration. Only found one manual for the TS75 and page 22 was in French .... no totally helpful for me.
ok
When can I get a vacuum clamp??? It kills me that they don’t sell them in the US.
They have the vac sys on the festool USA website, I think it's just a temporary supply chain thing
It is discontinued world wide as far as I know...
@@sedgetool it will live in our hearts forever just like the MFS I want but will never have, because I'm only 28 and I'm too young to have bought it :(
I would hire you
Thanks !!!
How to square the blade to the base?
I should do a video on that
@@sedgetool yes and check whether making the blade square with the base also makes it square with the track.
Большое спасибо, не мог найти такое руководство на родном языке
🤙
Man I must really be more of a hack than once thought.
I have a few short rails and connect them. I didn't know this fix existed or there was even an issue. My assumption was you buy a saw and it works on the rails made by the company. There are people that have seperate rails for each saw? Whers the practicality in that? Isn't the whole point of the Festool system the ability to use it all together. A 75 is on the radar but, I expect to be able to drop it on the tracks I already own , snug it up and not have to do much else unless of course it takes a tough hit. Is this wrongthink?
The &5 could match up........this video is for those that don't
This video explains how to make sure that is the case.
Who else is here from shop sounds?

I got the atf 55e i had to order a new pivot pin and bushing they were pretty worn out after 20 something years of use
wow.. cool...
