The verdictOur take

The mains version of Festool's cross-cut saw, for anyone who wants the FS and FSK rail system without buying into a battery platform. On spec it tracks the cordless HKC 55 closely: a 1200W motor, 160mm blade, 5200rpm, 55mm of depth at 90°, a riving knife, and the same plunge function that makes these saws useful all-rounders. The trade-off is that it does without the electronic KickbackStop of the cordless HKC 55, so what it offers is the rail system and the cut quality rather than the electronic safety net. A sensible pick for a workshop where a trailing lead is no hardship and you would rather not manage batteries.
