I just noticed in the current 2011 catalogue (online version) that the kerf size in some blades are not 2.2 mm.  I thought that all the blades for the TS55 are now 2.2 mm kerf size based on this thread

Do all rip blades currently available for the TS 55 EQ have a 2.5mm kerf?  The post here stated that all Festool blades now had a 2.2 mm kerf. So I ordered a 496305 online which I assumed to have a 2.2mm kerf and instead received a 487377 with a 2.5 kerf.  Was this a bait and switch? Or am I missing something?


This appears to be an older model blade, I searched everywhere online and it only came up on a website in Australia.

Thx for any help steering me in the right direction!

Thank you very much!

I also noticed that The Festool USA site still has the 496305 listed with a 2.5 mm kerf. Why don't they update their information?

Well, it was an oversight on my part since I administer the site. I'll get it corrected. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Sorry for the mistake.

Hi, no problem! I also tried to update the info on Amazon.com and they sent me the link from Festool USA and refused to change the
information. The company I ordered from did indeed do a bait and switch with my saw blade but they will correct it.

Thx again!
