Improve dust collection and add a useful finishing function to your compatible plunge-cut saw with the Festool ABSA-TS 55 cover plate. This accessory helps contain dust around the blade housing so the connected extraction system can collect it more effectively. It is particularly useful when cutting materials that generate substantial dust, such as MDF. The cover also serves as a false joint stop for creating controlled shadow gaps, with a specified adjustment range of 15–46 mm on the TS 55. Combining extraction support and shadow gap guidance in one accessory, it is a practical addition for joinery, interior fitting and panel installation work. Two Functions in One Saw Accessory The ABSA-TS 55 can be used as a cover to improve dust extraction or as a false joint stop. In its extraction role, it helps close off the side of the blade housing. In its guiding role, it provides a reference for cutting a shadow gap along a suitable adjoining surface.
