Festool TS 60 KEB-F-Plus Track Saw: Maximum Depth Meets Safety Tech

The TS 60 KEB-F-Plus delivers 62mm cutting depth with integrated KickbackStop safety technology and FSK cross-cutting compatibility, making it the most versatile track saw in Festool’s lineup. Worth it for finish carpenters and contractors who need that extra cutting depth — 62mm at 0° versus the standard 55mm you get from most track saws. The brushless EC-TEC motor means no carbon brushes to replace, ever.

Skip it if you’re just breaking down sheet goods. The 10.58 lb weight and premium price tag aren’t justified for basic plywood ripping. Get a standard circular saw and edge guide for half the money.

Safety Technology That Actually Works

KickbackStop changes the game. This isn’t marketing fluff — it’s active kickback prevention that can be manually deactivated for specific tasks like uneven workpieces. Most safety features get in the way. This one works when you need it and gets out of the way when you don’t.

Professional contractors appreciate its accuracy, smooth operation, and integration with the FS 1400/2 guide rail. The safety tech doesn’t compromise performance. You’re getting protection without sacrificing the clean cuts Festool built their reputation on.

Cutting Capacity and Precision

Specification	Value
Cutting depth at 0°	2-7/16 in (62 mm)
Cutting depth at 45°	1-3/4 in (45 mm)
Angular range	-1° to 47°
Saw blade diameter	6-5/8 in (168 mm)
Blade included	WOOD FINE CUT HW 168x1.8x20 WD42

That 62mm depth handles Montana’s 2x3 rough-sawn lumber without breaking a sweat. Compared to the TS 55’s 55mm depth, those extra 7mm make the difference between one pass and flipping the board. Angle adjustments are made via front-mounted bevel scale — no reaching around the back.

The dual depth indicator with rail compensation solves the math problem every track saw user faces. Set your depth once, accounting for the rail thickness. No more test cuts to dial it in.

Motor Performance and System Integration

The 1,500W brushless EC-TEC motor runs 3,000-6,800 RPM with variable speed control. Brushless means maintenance-free — no carbon dust, no brush replacements, no power fade as brushes wear. At 10.58 pounds, it’s heavier than sheet-good saws but lighter than you’d expect for this power class.

FastFix blade changes use a tool-free spindle lock. No wrenches to lose, no fumbling with arbor locks. The included 13.12 ft cable reaches across a full sheet without dragging the rail.

What sets this apart is FSK cross-cutting guide rail compatibility. This isn’t just a plunge saw — it’s a portable miter saw system when paired with FSK rails. Manufacturing expansion joints in parquet flooring becomes repeatable, accurate work instead of freehand guesswork.
