The absolute best thing to happen during the COVID-19 pandemic is Festool Live Friday's. I don't own any Festool tools but have loved every presentation. Thanks for all of your efforts.
How about this for a 5 second answer: HK is a freehand circular saw that becomes a chop saw/miter saw that you bring to work when you use the FSK, the TS is a panel saw you bring to the work. And they have overlapping capabilities, such as ripping lumbe
@@errolpereira8292 Yes, that is true ... just not the ideal use. The TS55 has 48 tooth blade standard, and it plunges and has the best dust collection. So it’s optimal for very clean cuts in sheet goods, with very good dust collection for indoor work. The HK has a 18 tooth blade for construction lumber, doesn’t plunge and not the same level of dust collection since the blade is not fully covered. It excels in quick cuts in construction lumber, with fast angle setups with FSK rail.
Thanks for showing the finer points of the HKC. I am a hobbyist and tool nut. I have both saws and did not realise what the marks were for and how the rail stops function. Looking forward to the next episode
the FSK rail is such a great idea considering how long circular saws have been around and you'd thought they hit the wall with innovation in circ. saw world :)
Love these live videos, so helpful. One BIG suggestion, I really wish there was some volume control. Love the enthusiasm, but the voice gets so loud, like when running a tool. I often watch late at night and it can get so loud all of a sudden. Disturbing others in the house. Sedge is so good at this, but the video volume is a real problem.
The HK seems like a great saw that makes cutting 2x lumber a lot safer. For a company with such attention to detail, I don’t understand why they would not fix the issue with cutting on a 45. Sure you can snap off that little ridge but that’s something I’d expect to have to do on a harbor freight tool, not a Festool.
I wonder why the base of TS is not designed to run on both tracks. After watching this I understood why TS can't run on both track, but why it should not run on both tracks is mystery.
I have a Question if you just bought the Remodeler pro kit and the same day you find out your cousin has stolen your two year old corded TS55 sometime the week before would you buy another TS55

I like this although the HK with a TS track is a panel saw too, no?

Great demo. Never really looked at the HK and probably wouldn’t use one but I definitely see the value now, particularly for plunge cutting.
Great to hear you are going to continue the series. Regards from Sydney, Australia
If you like to skip to when it actually gets started: 3:26
Sedge, love your presentation and the festool live show, keep up the good work !!👍
Thanks again. You always give great information!

Would 2.2 blade mess up rubber guide that was already cut with the 1.8 thick blade

im left handed...i own a porter cable circ saw that was engineered for lefties...does Festool have one??
So if I’m buying a saw to cut for stairs would I use the hk or the ts
When you bevel the saw, does the splinter guard get effected? Do you need to replace it after you make a beveled cut?
You don't need to change the splinter guard
We cut a lot of solid surface Countertops with our cordless ts55 which saw would you guys recommend?
Love this video! The FSK rail is one of the best things I ever saw (no pun) 😀

Is the tsc 55 stronger because of the two batteries?
higher voltage
Is the application relevant? ;)
Hi Sedge another informative video look forward every week to learning something new!
Steve in The UK actually Leeds West Yorkshire lol
Just make the saw 1/4 blade larger and then it'll be a game changer. No sanding required... Just slice and dice!

What excuse would that leave for another tool? 😂

No you pay a visit to your dirtbag cousin.
Hello! Good Work and Good Presentation! :)
One Question...Can FSK be extended with regular rail FS 1400?
wow... these are great
Do you actually discuss the TS??? Clearly a lovely guy but wayyy too much chat - looking for concise info!
