Give furniture, cabinetry and decorative panels a beautifully refined finishing touch with the Festool S8 HW R3 D22-KL OFK Roundover Router Bit . Engineered for professional edge machining, this precision cutter combines a smooth 3mm rounding radius with a specially developed edge transition geometry, allowing craftspeople to produce neat, consistent profiles on suitable plastic and solid wood edges. Whether you are finishing kitchen cabinet doors, trimming furniture edging, refining solid timber components or machining applied plastic edge strips, the Festool R3 roundover cutter provides the accuracy and control needed for professional results. Its specialised profile is particularly suited to 3mm edging with a 10° transition , making it an excellent choice for furniture manufacturers, cabinetmakers, joiners and installation specialists who demand consistent edge quality. Unlike a conventional straight trimming cutter, which primarily removes excess material to produce a flush surface, the Festool roundover bit creates a smooth, rounded edge profile . This helps soften sharp corners, produces a more comfortable finished edge and contributes to the clean, professional appearance expected from high-quality furniture and interior fittings. The cutter features a precisely manufactured 22mm cutting diameter and 3mm radius , with a cutting length of 3.2mm. This compact working geometry is particularly useful for detailed edge-finishing applications where controlled material removal and an accurately formed transition are more important than aggressive cutting depth. One of the standout features of this Festool cutter is its flexible guide bearing arrangement . The cutter is supplied with a sturdy steel ball bearing that provides a dependable reference surface when following suitable workpiece edges. Its optimised bearing mount also allows operation with a compatible 12.7mm guide ball bearing or without a bearing, depending on the machine, guide arrangement and application. The cutting edges are manufactured from HW tungsten carbide , a hard, wear-resistant cutting material well suited to repeated routing operations. Carbide cutting edges help maintain their cutting geometry during normal use, supporting consistent results and a dependable working life when processing suitable wood and plastic edging materials. With its precision 8mm shank , the cutter fits the appropriate collets of compatible Festool routers, including the OF 1010, OF 1010 R, OFK 700, MFK 700 and MFKC 700. This makes it a versatile addition to professional edge-processing systems used in workshops and on installation sites. Compact, accurate and carefully engineered, the Festool S8 HW R3 D22-KL OFK provides a reliable solution for transforming square or sharp edging into attractive rounded profiles with the precision and attention to detail associated with Festool routing accessories. Festool Precision Edge Routing – Smooth 3mm Radii with a 10° Transition The Festool S8 HW R3 D22-KL OFK belongs to the manufacturer's specialist range of edge-profiling router cutters. Its geometry is developed for machining suitable plastic and solid wood edging, particularly 3mm edge material requiring a controlled 10° transition. The cutter combines a 3mm roundover radius with a 22mm cutting diameter, providing an accurately defined profile that helps soften sharp edges and improve the appearance of finished furniture components. Its flexible ball bearing arrangement offers additional versatility, allowing the operator to select a suitable guide bearing or use the cutter without a bearing where the routing system provides an appropriate alternative guiding method.
