Freud blade on Festool saw?

[Keyser Soze]

Can anyone tell me if the Freud 6 1/2 blades will work on the HKC 55?

 

[overanalyze]

I think their kerf is 2.2mm wide. The HKC uses a 1.8mm kerf width. It would prob work but the wider kerf will drain the battery a littke quick. That and the HKC uses a 160mm blade so a trye 6.5" blade will not fit. The guard is to close to the blade.

I use AGE blades that I buy from toolstoday.com/p-6095-festool-and-other-track-saw-machine-compatible-saw-blades

Freud makes 160mm blades with 20mm holes that fit Festool saws.

But o.a. says, they have 2.2 mm wide teeth, so your splinter strip is going to be thin.

Their blades are pretty good on on the TS55 especially considering the price.
