Description

Festool 495387 HW 260×2.5×30 W80 Wood Fine Cut Saw Blade

The Festool 495387 is the HW 260×2.5×30 W80 wood fine cut saw blade from Festool, a 260 mm carbide-tipped blade with 80 teeth and a 30 mm bore. It is made for fine cross-cutting and miters in solid wood, veneered panels and sheet goods. The thin kerf removes less material, which means less waste and less load on the saw motor.

Where It Fits

Festool lists this blade for the Festool KAPEX KS 120 and KS 88 miter saws. Before ordering, confirm the blade diameter and bore your saw calls for in its manual. Mount it with the teeth pointing in the rotation direction marked on the saw, and tighten the flange as the manual describes.

Who Uses It

Cabinet makers, furniture builders and finish carpenters use a fine cut blade where the cut edge shows: face frames, door parts, shelving and veneered casework. It is the blade to mount when you want an edge that needs little or no sanding.

Getting Clean Cuts

A fine cut blade has many teeth, so feed at a steady, moderate rate. Pushing too fast loads each tooth and can leave marks; feeding too slowly can burn the edge. Use the guide rail splinter guard or a sacrificial backer where the saw allows it,. Keep the blade clean of resin and pitch, because build-up makes the teeth run hot and dull faster. Remove the battery or unplug the saw before changing blades. When the Festool 495387 starts to burn, wander or need more push than usual, it is time to have it sharpened or replaced.
