Festool debuts new carpentry saws

Festool USA and Festool Canada introduced the HK (corded) and HKC (18-volt cordless) carpentry saws with an integrated guide rail.

The HK/HKC allows users to make exact and repeated cuts in dimensional lumber and sheet goods anywhere the material is located versus the status quo of taking the material to the tool or to the jobsite sawhorse set-up, according to the company.

“With the HK/HKC, we’ve taken our industry-leading track saw and plunge-cut technology and applied it to build a completely new kind of carpentry saw,” Festool USA vice president of marketing Leo Zirkler said in a statement. “We have succeeded in building a carpentry saw with miter saw precision in the size of a sidewinder.”
