Festool HS Spi S8 D6/16 Spiral Groove Cutter 6 mm with 8 mm Shank

Overview

Festool Spiral Groove Cutter HS Spi S8 D6/16 At a Glance: 6 mm high-speed steel spiral groove cutter with an 8 mm shank and 50 mm overall length. Particularly suited to softwood routing and specified Festool VS 600 jointing applications. Produce accurately positioned grooves and joints in softwood with the Festool HS spiral groove cutter, article 490944. Its helical cutting geometry draws chips upwards from the cut, helping clear the groove and supporting effective extraction. The precision cutting diameter makes it useful for the specified Festool VS 600 jointing procedures, where the cutter, template and copying ring work together to establish the finished fit. Manufactured from high-speed steel, this cutter is particularly suited to softwood applications. It can be used for suitable grooving, rebating, elongated-hole cutting and guided copy routing, with the correct machine setup. The 8 mm shank provides conventional collet mounting in a compatible router. HS Spiral Cutting for Softwood HS identifies high-speed steel. The spiral geometry progressively engages the material and lifts chips towards the top of the groove, helping keep waste moving away from the cutting area. Product Highlights • 6 mm cutting diameter: For narrow grooves and the specified precision jointing operations. • High-speed steel construction: Particularly suited to softwood. • Upward chip clearance: Spiral geometry draws chips out of the groove towards the extraction area. • 8 mm shank: Requires a compatible router with the correct 8 mm collet. • VS 600 jointing applications: Specified for FZ 6 and SZO 14 machining procedures. • End-cutting capability: Supports suitable plunge and elongated-hole routing operations.
