Score: 88/100Rankings
The Festool TS 55 FEQ-F-Plus-FS is a premium mains-powered plunge-cut track saw designed for professional woodworking with virtually splinter-free cuts. Its primary limitation is the reduced cutting depth when using the guide rail and the high cost of ecosystem integration. It is best suited for professional woodworkers and cabinetmakers requiring high precision and dust-sensitive workshop compatibility.
The Bosch GKW18V-26N PROFACTOR is a cordless rear-handle circular saw that brings wormdrive-style performance to the 18V ecosystem. It features a brushless motor, electronic brake, and dust port, making it a versatile choice for professional contractors. However, the lack of included batteries and limited consumer reviews currently obscure its long-term reliability.
