Festool Solid Carbide Groove Cutter HW S8 D6/14 6 mm Diameter x 14 mm Cutting Length, 8 mm Shank

Overview

Festool Solid Carbide Groove Cutter HW S8 D6/14 At a Glance: 6 mm cutting diameter | 14 mm cutting length | 8 mm shank | 55 mm overall length | Solid carbide design | Suitable for plunge routing Create narrow grooves and accurate recesses with the Festool HW S8 D6/14 groove cutter. Its 6 mm cutting diameter is useful for furniture construction, fitting recesses and grooves for appropriately sized back panels or sliding components. The base cutting edge allows plunge entry into the workpiece, making stopped grooves possible without starting from an exposed edge. Solid carbide construction provides wear resistance and a low-vibration cutting design, while the 8 mm shank fits the specified Festool routers when equipped with the correct collet. With a 14 mm cutting length, it is a practical cutter for controlled, detailed routing in suitable wood and panel materials. Solid carbide construction for narrow grooves This cutter uses a solid carbide design rather than a conventional steel body with separate carbide side tips. Festool specifies this construction for low-vibration operation and improved resistance to breakage in smaller cutting diameters. Product Highlights • 6 mm cutting diameter: Produces nominal 6 mm grooves in a guided pass. • 14 mm cutting length: Provides cutting-edge coverage for shallow grooves and recesses. • Plunge-capable base edge: Allows entry within the workpiece for stopped cuts. • Solid carbide design: Supports a long working life, including routing in suitable panel materials. • Low-vibration construction: Helps support controlled cutting with a small-diameter bit. • 8 mm shank: Fits compatible routers using a matching 8 mm collet. Product Compatibility • Festool OF 900 and OF 1000: Use with the correct 8 mm collet. • Festool OF 1010 and OF 1010 R: Use with the correct 8 mm collet. • Festool OF 1400: Use with the correct 8 mm collet. • Festool OF 2000 and OF 2200: Use with the correct 8 mm collet. Check the Shank and Cutting Dimensions The cutting diameter is 6 mm, but the shank diameter is 8 mm. Fit this cutter in a matching 8 mm collet. The 14 mm cutting length is not a recommended depth for a single pass; select suitable staged depths for the material and task.
