Festool 8-1/4 inch saw blade describes a circular saw blade with an 8-1/4 inch diameter that matches the cut capacity of the Festool TS 75 EQ, so the blade tracks correctly in the plunge saw for predictable performance in woodworking setups. The 30mm arbor sizing on this blade matches the TS 75 EQ spindle, so the blade centers properly on the saw and runs true for smoother cutting and reduced vibration on straight or guided cuts. This blade is a circular saw blade class product, so it slots directly into workflows where a dedicated rip and crosscut blade is preferred for controlled cutting in wood. The 495378 manufacturer part number and Panther saw blade designation give installers and shop managers a clear reference, so reordering remains consistent across multiple saws and crews without stopping work to re-verify specifications.
This saw blade is specified for use on FJ561188, which is the Festool TS 75 EQ, so its overall design is matched to that plunge saw for coordinated cutting behavior. The 8-1/4 inch diameter works within the TS 75 EQ cutting envelope, so the plunge depth and track alignment function as intended when making straight cuts on guided systems. A 30mm arbor interface is built into the blade center, so it seats directly on the TS 75 EQ spindle without bushings, supporting accurate rotation and reducing the chance of wobble during demanding rip work. The statement for use on FJ561188 only ties this blade to that specific saw, which keeps the cutting characteristics, such as feed expectations and tooth engagement, aligned with Festools design for the TS 75 EQ platform.
The Festool 495378 Panther saw blade is identified as a fast cutting rip blade, so it is positioned for situations where wood needs to be removed quickly along the grain, such as breaking down boards on a track with the TS 75 EQ. The aggressive hook angle works especially well when the saw is guided along longer rips, because the tooth geometry keeps the blade feeding into the cut with less pushing effort from the operator. Deep gullets are valuable in these extended cuts, because they hold and move larger chips out of the kerf, which helps the blade continue cutting without bogging as the rip progresses through thicker or longer stock. The ATB alternating top bevel tooth profile also supports crosscutting tasks in wood, so the same blade can move from ripping along the grain to cutting across boards when workflows call for mixed-direction cuts with the TS 75 EQ. Being part of the Festool circular saw blades category, this blade fits into shops that standardize on Festool plunge saw systems, aligning with existing rails and setups.
The 16 tooth count on this blade spaces the teeth widely around the 8-1/4 inch diameter, which leaves more room for each deep gullet and supports the fast cutting behavior expected from a rip-focused blade. That lower tooth count, combined with the aggressive hook angle, allows each tooth to take a more substantial bite, which increases feed potential when moving along straight rips in wood with the TS 75 EQ. The carbide tipped construction on every tooth edge provides a hard cutting surface, so the ATB geometry stays effective over many cuts, maintaining the blades ability to handle both ripping and crosscutting without rapid edge breakdown. The 30mm arbor precisely centers the blade on the TS 75 EQ, so the teeth track consistently in relation to the saw base and guide rails, which supports straight, predictable lines when cutting sheet goods or solid stock. The defined manufacturer part number 495378 simplifies inventory control, because installers and shop coordinators can call out this exact rip-focused blade when they want to match the cutting feel previously used on TS 75 EQ projects.
The Festool 495378 Panther saw blade is specified for use on FJ561188, the Festool TS 75 EQ, so its diameter, arbor, and cutting behavior align with that plunge saw.
The 8-1/4 inch diameter matches the TS 75 EQ cutting range, so plunge depth and track alignment work as intended when making straight rips or crosscuts in wood.
The 30mm arbor matches the TS 75 EQ spindle, so the blade mounts directly without adapters, which supports smooth rotation and stable tracking along guides.
The Panther fast cutting rip design, with aggressive hook angle and deep gullets, supports rapid material removal in wood, which helps speed up long rip cuts.
The 16 carbide tipped ATB teeth combine a hard cutting edge with alternating top bevel geometry, so the blade handles both ripping and crosscutting while holding its edge.
This circular saw blade serves as the fast cutting rip option for the TS 75 EQ, fitting into Festool-based workflows that prioritize guided, efficient cuts in wood.
The Festool 8-1/4 inch diameter with 30mm arbor 16 tooth ATB ripping and crosscut saw blade, part number 495378, gives TS 75 EQ users a Panther fast cutting rip option tailored to that saw. Its aggressive hook angle, deep gullets, and carbide tipped ATB teeth support rapid, controlled cutting in wood when a dedicated rip-focused circular saw blade is needed. For woodworking professionals running the Festool TS 75 EQ as a core tool, this blade aligns its geometry, arbor interface, and cutting behavior with the saw so crews can move through ripping and crosscutting tasks efficiently.
