Key Features

Built to Rip Fast

The Festool 495378 Panther Ripping Blade for TS 75 Plunge Cut Saw uses a 16-tooth layout, aggressive hook angle, and deep gullets to move through hard and soft wood quickly. That matters when clean, efficient rip cuts are more important than a fine finish cut.

Steadier Cut Path

Laser-cut expansion slots and an oversized 30 mm arbor help reduce vibration at the blade. Less chatter means better control, quieter cutting, and more consistent results in ripping work.

Thin Kerf Efficiency

The 2.60 mm cutting width creates less resistance in the cut, which helps the saw work more efficiently and wastes less material. For repeated ripping in sheet goods or lumber, that is a practical advantage you notice right away.

Overview

The Festool 495378 Panther Ripping Blade for TS 75 Plunge Cut Saw is a carbide-tipped circular saw blade made for fast rip cutting in wood. This is a circular saw blade designed for ripping hard wood and soft wood with the Festool TS 75 plunge cut saw. Model Number 495378. If you use your TS 75 for breaking down stock, trimming framing lumber, or making long grain cuts where feed speed matters, this blade is set up for that job.

The core of this blade is its ripping-focused tooth pattern. With 16 teeth, a 28 degree hook angle, and deep gullets, it clears chips aggressively and keeps the cut moving. In real use, that means the blade is not trying to behave like a fine-finish blade. It is meant to cut efficiently through wood fibers along the grain, which is why it is a strong choice when speed and material removal matter more than a furniture-grade edge straight off the saw.

Festool also uses an alternating top bevel tooth design, which lets the teeth cut left and right in sequence for a cleaner and more efficient cut in wood. Combined with the carbide-tipped construction, the blade is built for long service life and dependable cutting performance. For users who run a plunge saw regularly, that balance of cutting speed and blade life is what makes this blade worth using instead of a generic replacement.

The 2.60 mm cutting width is another practical part of the design. A thinner kerf creates less resistance in the cut, so the saw does not have to work as hard to maintain progress through the material. That can help with feed speed, reduce wasted stock, and keep the cut feeling smoother when you are making repeated rip cuts in jobsite lumber or shop material.

Festool calls out laser-cut expansion slots and an oversized 30 mm arbor, and both details matter more than they sound like they would. The expansion slots help reduce vibration and noise as the blade heats up and works under load. The larger arbor gives the blade a more secure connection to the saw, which helps reduce vibration further and supports more precise cutting. On a plunge saw, blade stability is a big part of getting predictable results, especially on longer cuts.

Compatibility is straightforward. This Festool wood rip cut blade is suitable for the TS 75 and sized specifically for that saw with a 210 mm diameter and 30 mm arbor hole. It is not a general one-size-fits-all blade. If you own a TS 75 and want a ripping blade that matches the saw’s intended setup, this is the right kind of accessory to look at.

Who should buy it? Contractors, remodelers, carpenters, and serious woodworkers using a TS 75 for rip cutting in solid wood or sheet goods will get the most from it. If your priority is fast, efficient wood cutting with a blade built around ripping performance, the Festool 495378 Panther Ripping Blade for TS 75 Plunge Cut Saw makes sense. If you are chasing the cleanest crosscut or finish cut possible, you would want a finer-tooth blade instead.
