tsc 55 thinner kerf blade ?

[sucker 4 tools]

has any used a thinner kerf than 2.2 mm on their ts saw especially the tsc ? i think it may have been a big oversight on festools part to use the 2.2 mm blade when something thinner would of gave a much better run time on the batts and still given a decent cut can you use the thinner blade from the new circ saw ?

My 2.2 universal cuts 18 mm flake boards (osb) all day no problem must of done 150 meters worth of cuts today only use 60% battery x2

Hi
Care has to be taken as the riving knife on the T.S/T.S.C would then be ineffective if a thinner blade is used. The TSC was designed to give the same performance as a corded T.S hence the 2.2 blade is used.
  It is not recommended to use the 1.8 from the HKC for the above reason and the blade has a 'X' on it to indicate this.

can you remove the riving knife?
can you hold the riving knife up out of the way there is a hole in it and the body which corresponds to look like you can hold it up in the body with a little bar or something is this an extra ?

what do you term as the universal blade ? i think im getting more run time out of a panther than a 48 tooth

I made this comment in another thread dealing with the TSC, but it bears repeating here that blade choice is even more crucial with the TSC than with the corded versions.  On the corded 55, sometimes it just wasn't worth the time to swap over to a lower tooth count blade if I was going to be making just one rip cut, and I was content to move at a slower pace and have the engine labor a bit more to get through the cut.  But with the TSC the battery life is very reduced if you use, for example, the fine blade on a long rip cut -- it's thus worth it to take a second and swap out for the proper blade.

Because someone else started a new thread, he replied, and then it was merged to the locked thread.

the panther cuts fast and easy and is relatively kind on the batts but its not as clean a cut as say the 48 tooth and i want a perfect cut although the 48 has not been leaving me with a very clean cut on the green splinter guard outside of the cut. i have been making cab's with 18mm ply and can get away with using one battery so that as soon as thats dead i can switch and im never out of charge
