Festool 496304 saw blade is a 6-5/16 inch diameter circular saw blade designed as a universal, general purpose option, so one blade can handle a wide range of routine cuts. The blade has a 20mm arbor, which matches Festool setups that use this bore size for secure, centered mounting. With 28 ATB (alternating top bevel) teeth, the blade is built for clean cutting, so edges on wood and soft plastics stay smooth with less sanding. The carbide tipped tooth design keeps the cutting edges harder than standard steel, which supports long-term use on jobsite or shop materials. This blade is categorized as a circular saw blade for general purpose work, so it fits day-to-day ripping and crosscutting tasks rather than a single specialized application.
The SAP description identifies this product as a universal saw blade for TS55EQ, and the note specifies it is for use with FJ561174 (TS 55 EQ) only, so it is intended to match that saws drive and guard system. The 20mm arbor size aligns with the TS 55 EQ arbor, which lets the blade center correctly on the saw flange for stable rotation. With a 6-5/16 inch diameter, the blade preserves the saws designed cutting geometry, so track layouts and depth settings transfer cleanly between cuts. As a general purpose, clean cutting blade for wood and soft plastics, it fits the TS 55 EQs role in breaking down panels, trimming components, and handling a variety of non-metal materials in the same setup.
The web description calls this a universal saw blade with clean cutting, general purpose performance, so it is suited to everyday shop or installation tasks where surface quality and versatility on wood and soft plastics are important. When used on the Festool TS 55 EQ, the 6-5/16 inch diameter lets the saw follow its intended cut capacity on sheet goods, doors, and trim pieces without changing workflow. The ability to handle both wood and soft plastics means a single setup can move from cabinet components to plastic panels or trims while relying on the same blade geometry. Because it is categorized under general purpose saw blades, it fits roles like panel breakdown, trimming, and straight cuts where a dedicated specialty blade is not required.
The blade uses ATB (alternating top bevel) tooth geometry, which means each tooth is angled alternately, helping it slice through fibers instead of tearing, so the cutting action supports cleaner edges on wood. This clean cutting behavior limits tearout on crosscuts and helps surfaces on plywood or solid stock come off the saw closer to finish-ready. The carbide tipped construction puts a hard carbide edge on each tooth, which resists wear over repeated passes in wood and soft plastics, supporting a consistent cut quality over time. With 28 teeth, the blade strikes a middle ground between aggressive stock removal and fine finish, so installers can maintain productivity while still expecting a smooth cutting face that aligns well with general purpose use on the TS 55 EQ.
The Festool 496304 saw blade is identified as a universal saw blade for TS55EQ and noted for use with FJ561174 (TS 55 EQ) only, so it is intended specifically for that saw model.
The Festool 496304 saw blade is described for use on wood and soft plastics, so it supports general purpose cutting across those non-metal materials in shop and installation tasks.
The 6-5/16 inch diameter matches the design of the Festool TS 55 EQ, so cut depth and track-based layouts stay aligned with the saws standard cutting capacity.
The Festool 496304 saw blade has a 20mm arbor, which fits Festool systems using that bore so the blade centers correctly and runs smoothly during operation.
On the Festool 496304 saw blade, ATB means alternating top bevel tooth geometry, which helps the blade cut cleanly by shearing fibers, supporting smoother edges on wood.
The carbide tipped teeth on the Festool 496304 saw blade provide a harder cutting edge than standard steel, supporting longer-lasting sharpness through repeated cuts in wood and soft plastics.
The Festool 496304 saw blade combines a 6-5/16 inch diameter, 20mm arbor, and 28 tooth ATB carbide tipped design, so it aligns with the Festool TS 55 EQ while delivering clean cutting on wood and soft plastics. With its universal, general purpose role clearly described for the TS55EQ, this blade supports day-to-day panel and trim work where one setup needs to handle varied non-metal materials. For TS 55 EQ users who want a single blade that matches the saws dimensions and is described for clean, general purpose cutting, this Festool circular saw blade is a focused option.
