Festool HW R2-OFK 500 Z1 Roundover Cutter 2 mm Radius for OFK 500 and OFKC 500

Overview

Festool Roundover Cutter HW R2-OFK 500 Z1 At a Glance: Single-edge carbide roundover cutter with a 2 mm radius and 27 mm diameter. Direct spindle mounting for Festool OFK 500 and OFKC 500 edge routers. Guide bearing sold separately. Give exposed edges a subtle, comfortable finish with the Festool HW R2-OFK 500 Z1 roundover cutter. Its small 2 mm radius softens sharp corners while preserving a restrained edge detail, making it useful for furniture components, solid-wood edging and suitable plastic edges. The single cutting edge is designed to limit heat build-up and reduce the tendency to leave scorch marks when working across the grain. The dedicated hollow-core cutter mounts directly onto the router spindle for accurate running. A 5° run-out at the transition from the radius helps protect the adjoining surface, while the low-profile bearing arrangement supports work in rebates and on stacked panels where the setup permits. This cutter is supplied without a guide bearing; use the compatible bearing required for your machine and application. R2 Edge Finishing with a Dedicated Direct-Mount Cutter The R2 profile creates a nominal 2 mm rounded edge. Unlike a conventional shank-mounted router bit, this cutter uses the specialised spindle mounting system of the OFK 500 and OFKC 500.
