Festool HW Plasterboard V-Groove Router Bit 32mm 90° with 8mm Shank

Overview

Festool HW S8 D32/90° Plasterboard V-Groove Router Bit – 32mm Diameter, 90° Cutting Angle At a Glance: Professional Festool HW carbide-tipped plasterboard V-groove router bit featuring a 32mm cutting diameter, 90° included cutting angle, 16mm cutting length and 8mm shank. Specially developed for machining plasterboard panels to create accurate V-shaped grooves that allow boards to be folded into neat 90° corners while retaining the outer cardboard facing. Features a single cutting edge, wear-resistant carbide tip and robust construction for precise, efficient routing. Create beautifully precise plasterboard corners with the Festool HW S8 D32/90° Plasterboard V-Groove Router Bit . Designed specifically for professional drywall construction, interior finishing and plasterboard fabrication, this specialist cutter makes it possible to produce accurate V-shaped grooves in gypsum plasterboard panels, allowing them to be folded neatly into angular profiles without cutting completely through the cardboard facing. Unlike conventional routing cutters intended primarily for timber, the Festool plasterboard V-groove cutter features a specialised cutting geometry optimised for efficient machining of gypsum plasterboard . Its 90° included cutting angle creates the groove profile required to form a clean right-angled fold, making it particularly valuable when manufacturing plasterboard corner elements, ceiling details, boxed sections and architectural features. One of the most impressive advantages of this routing technique is the ability to preserve the cardboard facing on the outside of the fold . By removing the gypsum core and inner facing along the required folding line while leaving the outer cardboard layer intact, the plasterboard can be folded into a precise corner with a continuous outer surface. This helps simplify the creation of accurately formed decorative and construction details. The cutter features a 32mm cutting diameter and 16mm cutting length , combined with a precision-engineered 8mm shank for secure installation in compatible Festool routers. Its 90° cutting geometry is ideal for forming right-angled plasterboard corners when the routing depth and guide system are correctly adjusted. Manufactured using high-quality steel and a wear-resistant tungsten carbide cutting tip , this Festool router bit is engineered for stability, accurate running and dependable service life. The securely brazed carbide cutting edge provides reliable performance during demanding professional plasterboard routing applications. Whether preparing drywall bulkheads, decorative ceiling features, boxed-in installations or clean architectural corners, the Festool HW S8 D32/90° offers a practical and efficient solution for producing precise folded plasterboard components with a professional finish. Specialised Festool Plasterboard Routing Technology Festool plasterboard cutters are developed specifically for routing gypsum plasterboard panels in combination with compatible routers and guide systems. Their specialised cutting geometry makes it possible to machine accurate V-shaped grooves while preserving the outer cardboard facing of the panel. This allows plasterboard sections to be folded along the machined groove, producing neat corner profiles without separating the adjoining sections completely. The technique is particularly useful for manufacturing architectural features, boxed sections and precisely formed drywall components. The Festool HW S8 D32/90° combines this specialised geometry with a durable carbide-tipped cutting edge, offering dependable cutting performance and precise results during professional use.

Product Compatibility The Festool HW S8 D32/90° plasterboard V-groove router bit is designed for use with the following Festool routers: • Festool OF 900: Compatible with the Festool OF 900 router equipped with a suitable 8mm collet. • Festool OF 1000: Compatible with the Festool OF 1000 router for controlled plasterboard groove routing. • Festool OF 1010: Suitable for the Festool OF 1010 router with an appropriate 8mm collet. • Festool OF 1010 R: Compatible with the Festool OF 1010 R router for guided plasterboard machining. • Compatible Festool guide systems: The cutter can be used with suitable routing guides and accessories to achieve accurately positioned grooves and consistent folding lines. Important Compatibility and Application Information Specialist application: This is a dedicated plasterboard V-groove router bit , not a conventional timber V-groove or decorative engraving cutter. Its geometry is optimised for routing gypsum plasterboard panels. Shank compatibility: The cutter has an 8mm shank . Ensure the router is equipped with the correct 8mm collet and that the cutter is securely installed before operation. Critical routing depth: When preparing plasterboard for folding, the groove must remove the required core material without cutting through the outer cardboard facing. Always perform a test cut and adjust the routing depth carefully.
