The Festool WOOD RIP CUT 160 mm Circular Saw Blade (578587) is a high-efficiency, thin-kerf blade engineered specifically for fast, straight rip cuts in solid hardwood and softwood. Featuring a 160 mm (6.29 in.) diameter, a 20 mm (0.79 in.) arbor, and a 12-tooth PW (Panther) tooth profile with a steep 25-degree chip angle, this blade minimizes cutting resistance to maximize speed and power transfer during heavy ripping operations.

Designed to optimize the cutting performance of Festool HKC 55 K, TSC 55 K, and TSC 55 KS cordless track saws and circular carpentry saws, the ultra-thin 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) cutting width reduces motor load and drag. By drawing less energy from the tool, it delivers faster progress through timber while extending battery runtime per charge. High-grade steel construction combined with fine-grain carbide teeth ensures exceptional wear resistance, smooth blade guidance, and long service life across demanding woodworking and construction jobs.
