Have googled without success. Am looking to get a blade for my Festool
TS55 that will cut a flat bottom kerf. Not a kerf that an ATB blade
cuts. Any info greatly appreciated.

This might work.

Alternatively talk to Forrest and they will make you what you want. Or
if you have a spare blade they will sharpen/shape it the way you want.

A box joint blade cuts a flat bottom kerf.

Don't box joint blades need to be used in pairs?

I think the closest you're going to come in an off-the-shelf blade
that fits that saw is a triple-chip grind, which you can get from
Festool. Won't be quite flat though. If it has to be absolutely flat
you may need to get a custom grind. Try calling Forrest
https://www.forrestblades.com/ and see what they can do for you.

I would guess that it depends on whether there is a glue relief on the
box joint. In any case, there won't be a box joint set for a TS55.

Not positive the Mafell 55 blades fit the Festool 55 track saw, but if they are interchangeable, then maybe look at Mafell track saw blades the same size. One listed below says it is "Tungsten carbide tipped flat top and trapezoidal teeth". The flat top should fit your needs.

Dimensions are the same so should fit, however "flat top and
trapezoidal teeth" sounds like a triple-chip grind in which the
trapezoidal teeth are a little bit taller than the flat ones. Be nice
if they actually showed the profile.

That is what I was thinking. Cant handle 2 blades. Typically these
type blades require an inner and outer blade.

Would a triple chip work?
