ts75 track saw

Is there a fraction gauge for blade depth the one on now is metric

Welcome to the forum. There is not currently an imperial depth gauge sticker for the TS 75.

For most cuts, it's easy to set the saw off the edge of the material and plunge it to set the depth without using the gauge at all.

I've seen some aftermarket ones on eBay. Don't know how accurate it is though. Also, Festool sells an imperial sticker for the ts55req, but I don't know, if placed on the 75, how the difference in housing size would affect the tapes accuracy.

An overlay decal on the 75 will need to be at an ark, so harder to make.

Do we need to ask Noah?

Hi bearpaw,

Welcome to the forum!  [smile]

That curve makes the imperial sticker scale more difficult to do.

Someone on here is supposed to be working on one.  [poke]

I just set mine on the edge of the piece to be cut and set the depth that way, like some others said.

I also marked with pencil the setting for 3/4"  so I can quickly reset to that depth as needed.

Or, engage the FastFix, plunge the saw and slide the depth setting all the way up. Then disengage the Fastfix. That'll set the depth for 3/4" material.

I think Shane was thinking TS-55 about the Fastfix.  Here is a thread where I asked about the TS-75 depth using the Fastfix:  http://festoolownersgroup.com/festool-tools-accessories/how-far-does-the-blade-protrude-on-a-ts-75-in-the-fast-fix-setting/msg280698/#msg280698

The thread Peter mentioned above says the Fastfix plunge depth on the ts75 measures 42mm.

Ah, yes, forgot the thread was about the 75. Well, 42mm is more than enough for 3/4" materials.  [big grin] In fact, it's probably enough to cut your MFT in half.  [embarassed]

Haha...that would hurt

Just wondering if there was any update on the availability of an imperial depth scale for the TS-75.  I've looked on eBay but haven't seen one.

Thanks
