Create accurately matched semi-covered dovetail joints with the Festool HW S8 D13,8/13,5/15° cutter. Designed to work with the VS 600 jointing system and SZ 14 template, this cutter combines a defined dovetail profile with carbide cutting edges suited to hardwood machining. It provides the cutting geometry needed for traditional interlocking joints in furniture and cabinet components, including drawer construction where the joint should remain concealed from the front. Used with the correct router, copying ring and template setup, it brings repeatable machining to a classic woodworking joint. What is a semi-covered dovetail joint? Also called a half-blind dovetail, this joint conceals the ends of the dovetails behind the outer face of one component. It is commonly used to connect drawer sides to drawer fronts while preserving an uninterrupted front surface. Product Highlights • Matched SZ 14 geometry: Intended for semi-covered dovetail joints with the corresponding VS 600 template. • Carbide cutting edges: Suitable for demanding hardwood applications. • 15° profile: Produces the specified angled dovetail form. • 8 mm shank: For use with the correct matching router collet. • System-based accuracy: Works with the router, template and guidance components to produce repeatable joints. Product Compatibility • Festool VS 600: Jointing system used with the appropriate SZ 14 dovetail template. • Festool VS 600 SZ 14: Template for the intended semi-covered dovetail application. • Festool OF 1010 and OF 1400: Suitable router configurations for the SZ 14 system, using an 8 mm collet and the specified copying ring. Use the Matched System Components The cutter, template and copying ring must match the jointing system instructions. An 8 mm shank alone does not establish compatibility with a particular dovetail jig. Check the required setup before machining.
