Key Features

Stable Cut Accuracy

The twin-column guide keeps the saw head tracking straight and smooth. That matters when you need square crosscuts and cleaner miters without blade wobble fighting you.

Cordless 36V Output

This Festool cordless sliding compound miter saw runs on two 18V batteries at the same time for 36V total output. You get jobsite mobility without stepping down to a light-duty saw.

Better Line Visibility

The integrated LED spotlight helps you stay on the scribe mark, especially in remodel work and indoor spaces where lighting is never as good as you want it to be.

Overview

The Festool KSC 60 EB 8,0 I-Plus cordless sliding compound miter saw kit is a premium cordless miter saw package for pros who need accurate crosscuts, clean miters, and real jobsite mobility. Model Number 579356. This is a cordless sliding compound miter saw designed for accurate crosscutting, mitering, and bevel work in trim, finish carpentry, remodeling, and mobile install work. Instead of buying the saw and power setup separately, this kit gives you the saw, two 8.0 Ah batteries, two rapid chargers, and storage in one package.

The core of this saw is its twin-column guide system. That setup is there for one reason: keep the blade path rigid and consistent through the cut. On the job, that means less wandering, less deflection, and fewer surprises when you are cutting base, casing, built-ins, or crown components that need to fit right the first time. If you make your money on finish work, that kind of control matters more than flashy specs.

Power comes from a brushless EC-TEC motor and a dual-battery setup using two 18V packs together for 36V total output. That gives this cordless miter saw the kind of output people expect from a serious jobsite machine, not a backup tool. The included Energy Set also matters here. Two 8.0 Ah HighPower batteries and two SCA 16 AIRSTREAM rapid chargers mean the saw is set up for runtime and turnaround, not just occasional use.

Angle range is another strong point. The saw handles miter angles up to 60 degrees on both sides, plus bevel angles up to 47 degrees left and 46 degrees right. That gives you the flexibility to deal with trim corners, compound cuts, and odd room conditions without wasting time on workarounds. When a saw can cover more of those real-world cuts directly, setup gets faster and your workflow stays moving.

Festool also built this kit around practical jobsite use. The integrated LED spotlight helps you track the cut line more clearly, which is useful in interior work where lighting can be uneven. A dust bag is included for cleaner cutting when you are not tied into a dust extractor. The screw clamp, angle transfer device, elevation feet, and included 216 mm blade are all the kind of accessories that make the saw more useful out of the box instead of sending you shopping for missing basics.

Storage and transport are part of the value here too. The Systainer3 keeps the kit organized and easier to move between rooms, floors, or vans. That fits the whole point of a cordless sliding miter saw: bring accurate cutting where the work is instead of building your day around outlet access and extension cords.

If you are a finish carpenter, remodeler, installer, or punch-list pro who needs a mobile cutting station without giving up precision, this kit makes sense. If you only cut occasionally in one fixed shop spot, it may be more saw than you need. But for pros who work room to room and still expect tight results, the Festool KSC 60 EB 8,0 I-Plus cordless sliding compound miter saw kit is built for exactly that job.
