Designed for the Festool VS 600 jointing system and SZO 14 template set, this carbide cutter produces the angled dovetail profile used in open, or through, dovetail connections. The 14.3 mm cutting diameter and 10° profile work with the matching template geometry, while the 16 mm cutting length and 50 mm overall length define the specified cutter format. An 8 mm shank fits a corresponding router collet. Used as part of the complete SZO 14 routing sequence, it is a practical accessory for accurately fitted corners in solid-wood boxes, drawers and furniture components. What Is an Open Dovetail Joint? An open, or through, dovetail joint has interlocking tails and pins visible on both faces of the assembled corner.
