TS 55 Kerf

[EdSweeney]

I believe my new TS 55 comes with a 48 tooth blade.

Does anyone know the product number of this blade and the kerf?

Also, how can I find out about the kerf for other blades for the TS 55?

Again thanks for all your help.

Ed:

You can find all the details on the current TS 55 blades here.

The kerf of the stock blade is 2.2mm.

The blade that is included with the TS 55 is a 495 377.

On page 68 of the 2009 Festool Catalog is a chart that gives the specs on all of the TS 55 blades.

If you do not have a 2009 catalog there is PDF version here. 2009 Catalog

There are different blades now for the Panther, Aluminum/Plastic, and Solid Surface/Laminate blades.

They are all now 2.2mm kerf and all start with 496.

The Standard Blade was eliminated.

Since all blades are now 2.2mm that eliminate having to have a dedicated rail  for panther vs. standard blade? That was a total pain... or is it still a pain?

Thank you for correcting me Tom.
I forgot the blades & numbers were changed.

For some odd reason, the Universal Blade still hasn't changed and its kerf is 2.5mm???
