Maximum performance, maximum safety and full mobility

The new HKC 55 K cordless portable circular saw - available from September 2025

 

Maneuverability, precision and safety - with the new HKC 55 K, Festool is setting new standards in the field of mobile cordless portable circular saws. The German manufacturer has developed this powerful saw especially for professional craftsmen who no longer want to compromise on mobile cross-cuts on the construction site or in the workshop. With innovative functions, a powerful 8.0 Ah battery pack and perfectly coordinated system components, the HKC 55 K offers everything you need for efficient and safe work.

 


Maximum power with the best cutting performance 

At the heart of the HKC 55 K is a brushless EC-TEC motor with 5,200 rpm, which, in combination with the power electronics and the 8.0 Ah Li-HighPower battery pack, ensures impressive cutting performance and long runtimes. The specially developed 1.6 mm thin-cutting saw blades not only enable fast work progress, but also extend the battery life - ideal for mobile use.



Fast, precise and mobile cross-cuts

Thanks to the simple coupling with the FSK cross-cut rail, the HKC 55 K becomes a mobile cross-cut saw system. Whether on the roof or on the ground - precise, angular cross-cuts are possible everywhere. The fixed contact bolt, the adjustable stop and the return function enable exact repeat cuts in the angle range from -60° to +60°. Mitre cuts up to 50° are also effortless - the scribed edge always remains the same as the cutting edge.



Security that thinks for itself

Festool attaches great importance to user protection. The innovative KickbackStop significantly reduces the risk of injury in the event of kickback and protects both the user and the workpiece. The integrated guide wedge also prevents the saw blade from jamming. The pendulum guard can be opened easily and safely using the pendulum guard remote control. This ensures safety and really makes work easier. 

 

 

Convenient handling for everyday work

The cutting depth adjustment with plunge function allows safe and convenient plunging to the preset depth. The combination with the tried-and-tested Festool guide rails further extends the range of applications. Despite its high performance, the HKC 55 K weighs just 3.6 kilograms (without accessories), making it easy to handle.

 

 

With the HKC 55 K, Festool is launching a cordless portable circular saw from September 2025 that impresses with its performance, safety and mobility. It is the ideal solution for anyone who values precise work, high efficiency and maximum safety - no matter where the project takes place. Further information is available at festool.co.uk
