Overview

Festool Roundover Cutter HW R3-OFK 500 Z1 At a Glance: 3 mm radius carbide roundover cutter with a 27 mm diameter and one cutting edge. Direct spindle mounting for Festool OFK 500 and OFKC 500 edge routers. Guide bearing sold separately. Create smoothly rounded edges with the Festool HW R3-OFK 500 Z1 roundover cutter. Its 3 mm radius gives exposed corners a comfortable curved transition, making it a useful choice for furniture components, solid-wood edging and suitable plastic edges. The defined profile helps produce matching details across a series of parts with a correctly adjusted edge router. The single-edge Z1 design helps limit heat build-up and reduce scorch marks when routing across the grain. A dedicated hollow-core mounting fits directly onto the compatible router spindle for accurate running. The radius transitions into a 5° run-out to help protect the adjoining surface, while the low-profile bearing arrangement assists access in suitable rebates and stacked-panel setups. An R3 Profile for Comfortable, Consistent Edges The nominal 3 mm radius softens a square corner into a rounded edge. It is useful where a clearly defined curve suits the design and the workpiece provides enough material for the intended profile. Product Highlights • 3 mm rounding radius: Produces a consistent curved edge profile. • Single carbide cutting edge: Z1 geometry helps reduce heat generation during routing. • Direct spindle mounting: Dedicated hollow-core design supports precise cutter running. • 5° profile run-out: Helps protect the adjacent surface at the profile transition. • Low mounting height: The flush bearing arrangement assists access in suitable restricted setups. • Wood and plastic edging: For solid wood and compatible plastic-edge applications.
