Festool PA-HK 85 Parallel Side Fence and Table Extension for HK 85

Overview

Festool PA-HK 85 Parallel Side Fence for HK 85 At a Glance: Parallel cutting guide for HK 85 | Also usable as a table extension | Motor-side workpiece widths: 205–403 mm | Blade-side workpiece widths: 57–224 mm | Lower projection: 15 mm. Make repeatable parallel cuts with greater control using the Festool PA-HK 85 parallel side fence. Designed for the HK 85 circular saw, it guides the machine along an existing workpiece edge to maintain the selected cutting width. Particularly useful when ripping longer boards and panel materials, the fence also provides additional support at the workpiece surface to improve stability. Mounting on either the motor side or blade side gives two working ranges, while its additional table-extension function makes it a versatile accessory for workshop and site cutting tasks. Parallel Guidance from the Workpiece Edge A parallel side fence establishes the distance between the saw blade and a reference edge. As the fence follows that edge, the saw produces a parallel cut. The PA-HK 85 combines this guiding function with additional surface support and can also serve as a table extension.
