Festool HK 85 EB - The Circular Saw That Thinks It's a Beam Cutter

Some saws trim edges. This one redefines dimensions. The Festool HK 85 EB isn't just a circular saw—it's an 86mm-deep material processor that treats timber like it's asking to be transformed. With a 230mm blade moving at 3,500 RPM and a staggering 0-60° bevel range, this saw doesn't just cut wood—it architects structures.

Depth That Changes What You Can Build in One Pass

While other saws nibble at thick stock, the HK 85 EB consumes it. The 1,900W motor drives through 86mm of hardwood at 90° and 62mm at 45° without hesitation, while the fixed 3,500 RPM speed delivers consistent power through the densest materials. This isn't a saw for trimming—it's for defining.

Weighing 7.9kg, it feels substantial in the best way—like holding exactly enough power to command respect from the material. The 4.3m cable reaches across construction sites without begging for extensions, while the dual dust ports (27/36mm) connect to Festool's extraction system, because even brute force deserves cleanliness.

Why This Saw Doesn't Ask Permission

• Beam capacity - 86mm cuts through dimensional lumber in one pass
• 60° bevel range - creates dramatic angles without compromise
• Industrial blade size - 230mm handles the toughest materials
• Dust extraction ready - maintains visibility during deep cuts
• Extended reach - 4.3m cable for site mobility
• Fixed RPM power - optimized speed for structural cutting
• Festool durability - built for daily construction demands
• Balanced weight - substantial without being cumbersome

For Those Who Build From the Ground Up

This saw serves framers cutting thick timbers, roofers working with structural beams, and builders who need to make precise cuts in demanding materials. The 86mm depth means you can process 4x4 lumber, create deep notches, or cut through stacked materials without multiple passes.

The dust extraction matters because even on construction sites, clean air matters. The sealed system captures particles at the source, maintaining visibility and respiratory safety. Whether you're cutting pressure-treated lumber or structural beams, this saw maintains power without sacrificing control.
