Festool TS55 blade

[Bobs Gates]

Hi, I’ve got a 165mm blade in my TS55 but I need a few more mm on the cut. Short of spending a lot on the TS60, has anyone successfully fitted a 170mm blade on the TS55?

Do you have access to an old pizza box?

Cut a 170mm diameter circle from one with a 20mm diameter circle removed from its centre. Try it in the saw and see if it rubs anything while you operate the plunge action over its full range.
