Festool HW S8 D36,7/R6/R6 Multi-Profile Cutter 36.7mm Double R6 with Ball Bearing Guide

Product information

Festool HW S8 D36,7/R6/R6 Multi-Profile Cutter At a Glance: Professional carbide-tipped multi-profile router cutter with an 8 mm shank, 36.7 mm cutter diameter, twin 6 mm profile radii and ball-bearing guidance, designed for producing classic decorative profiles on panel edges, furniture components and decorative mouldings. The Festool HW S8 D36,7/R6/R6 is a precision multi-profile cutter for creating attractive classic edge profiles on timber panels, furniture components and decorative strips. Its carefully formed profile combines two 6 mm radii to produce a flowing decorative edge in a single cutter, while the integrated ball-bearing guide follows the workpiece directly for consistent results on both straight and suitably curved edges. Festool has optimised the cutting angle of this cutter to help reduce unwanted burn marks, an important advantage when routing visible edges in solid timber. The cutter features durable carbide cutting edges, a 36.7 mm cutter diameter, 21 mm working length, 61 mm overall length and an 8 mm shank. It is an excellent choice for cabinetmakers, furniture manufacturers, joiners and specialist woodworkers who want to produce repeatable decorative profiles without relying on a separate guide fence for suitable edge-routing applications. A classic decorative profile in one routing operation Unlike a simple roundover cutter that produces a single radius, the HW S8 D36,7/R6/R6 combines two 6 mm radii into a more elaborate profile. This creates the traditional flowing shape associated with decorative furniture and moulding work and allows the complete profile to be reproduced consistently from one workpiece to the next. Product highlights • Classic multi-profile geometry: Developed for decorative panel edges and mouldings rather than a simple single-radius roundover. • Twin R6 profile: Two 6 mm radii form the distinctive decorative edge geometry. • 36.7 mm cutter diameter: Provides the substantial cutting profile required for furniture and decorative joinery work. • 21 mm working length: Allows the complete decorative profile to be machined into suitable workpiece edges. • Carbide cutting edges: HW carbide delivers excellent edge retention and long professional service life. • Ball-bearing guided: The bearing follows the workpiece edge directly for consistent profile depth. • Excellent for curved components: Bearing guidance makes it possible to follow suitable curved and shaped edges as well as straight workpieces. • Optimised cutting angle: Festool specifically designed the cutter geometry to help reduce burn marks during routing. • 8 mm shank: Suitable for compatible Festool routers fitted with an 8 mm collet. • Replacement bearing available: Festool ball-bearing guide D12,7, order number 491383, is available separately. • Professional decorative finishing: Ideal where the routed edge will remain visible as part of the finished furniture or joinery.
