Festool Rebating Router Cutter HW S8 D31,7/NL 12,7 with Guide Bearing 8 mm Shank

Overview

Festool Rebating Cutter HW S8 D31,7/NL 12,7 At a Glance: 31.7 mm cutting diameter | 12.7 mm cutting length | 8 mm shank | Guide bearing included | 9.5 mm standard rebate width | Optional bearings for alternative rebate widths. Route accurate rebates along straight or curved workpiece edges with the Festool HW S8 D31,7/NL 12,7 rebating cutter. Its guide bearing follows the workpiece edge, maintaining a consistent lateral cut while the carbide cutting edges remove material. This makes it a practical choice for furniture back-panel rebates, frame construction and other woodworking tasks requiring a stepped edge. The cutter has a 31.7 mm cutting diameter, a 12.7 mm cutting length and a precision-ground 8 mm shank. Supplied with a 12.7 mm guide bearing, it produces a nominal 9.5 mm rebate width measured inward from the workpiece edge. Alternative guide bearings from Festool set 491406 allow different rebate widths using the same cutter, expanding its usefulness across several joint and panel-fitting requirements. One Cutter with Several Rebating Options The difference between the cutter diameter and guide-bearing diameter determines how far the cutter reaches into the edge. Changing the bearing changes this lateral dimension, while the router's height setting controls the vertical depth of the rebate. Product Highlights • Bearing-guided routing: Follows a suitable workpiece edge for consistent rebates. • Suitable for curved components: The bearing can follow an appropriate curved edge as well as a straight one. • Carbide cutting edges: Provide wear resistance for regular woodworking use. • Precision-ground shank: Supports accurate running in the correct collet. • 9.5 mm standard rebate width: Produced with the supplied 12.7 mm bearing. • Optional bearing set: Set 491406 provides alternative bearing diameters for different rebate widths. Product Compatibility • Festool OF 900 and OF 1000: Listed compatible routers, using the correct 8 mm collet. • Festool OF 1010 and OF 1010 R: Listed compatible routers with the appropriate collet and setup. • Festool OF 1400, OF 2000 and OF 2200: Listed compatible routers equipped for an 8 mm shank. • Festool MFK 700 and MFKC 700: Listed compatible edge routers; observe the machine's permitted base and cutter configuration. • Festool guide-bearing set 491406: Compatible optional accessory for changing the rebate width. Dimension note: The standard 9.5 mm dimension describes the lateral rebate width from the workpiece edge. The 12.7 mm cutting length describes the cutter's working height and is not a recommended single-pass cutting depth.
