TS55 REQ service center calibration
« on: November 12, 2020, 07:51 AM »
Hello everyone,

Yesterday, I checked the squareness of my TS55 blade and it was 0,5 degrees off. I checked around and called Festool and they are telling me that I need to send it to them for calibration. Anyone has done it and can tell me how much they charged to do it?

Thank you

@Francis_Beland You can adjust the squareness yourself if you like using the set screw at the front: https://www.festoolownersgroup.com/festool-how-to/ts-55-req-setting-blade-angle-squareness

It helps to have a digital angle gauge that you can fix to the blade with the cover off, though you can certainly get it plumb without it using a square to check the cut.

Thank you for the reply but the first question the service center person asked me is if I had a lever at the front for the -1 degree. I don't have that. I don't have the front set screw as it's an old model.
