Festool 496305 TS 55 EQ Panther Saw Blade 12 Teeth is engineered for cutting efficiency, long life, and superior cutting performance. This carbide-tipped Standard Ripping blade is designed for the TS 55 Plunge Cut Saw and serves as an excellent general-purpose blade, delivering clean cuts in wood and soft plastics. It enables precision cutting for glue-ready joints, thanks to its offset tooth design called ATB (Alternating Top Bevel), which cuts alternately to the left and right for a more efficient and cleaner cut in all types of wood. The thin-kerfed blade design reduces resistance for more efficient cutting and minimizes material waste. Laser-cut expansion slots help reduce vibration, resulting in faster, quieter cuts. The oversized 20mm arbor ensures a more secure fastening of the blade to the saw, further reducing vibration and enhancing cutting precision. With 12 teeth, a 2.2mm kerf, a 20mm arbor, and a 20-degree hook angle, this ATB coarse cutting rip blade is i for building panels, wood, and soft plastics. Model Number: 496305
