Designed for compatible Festool TS 55 and TSC 55 plunge-cut saws, the indicators show exactly where the saw blade will enter and exit the workpiece at the selected cutting depth. This makes it easier to produce clean, dimensionally accurate cut-outs without repeated test plunges or unsafe backward cutting. The front and rear indicators fit into the upper groove of a Festool FS\/2 guide rail without tools and can also act as start and end stops for the saw. Adjustable marking indicators, magnetic left- or right-hand positioning and a cutting-width indicator provide outstanding versatility for cut-outs, close-to-wall work and accurately sizing narrow panel strips.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExact blade positioning at every cutting depth\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe indicator scales can be matched to the plunge-cut saw's selected depth, allowing the blade's actual entry and exit positions to be transferred directly to the workpiece markings.
