Description

Festool 205561 HW 160×1.8×20 WD42 Wood Fine Cut Saw Blade

The Festool 205561 is the HW 160×1.8×20 WD42 wood fine cut saw blade from Festool, a 160 mm carbide-tipped blade with 42 teeth and a 20 mm bore. It is made for fine cross-cutting in solid wood, veneered panels and MDF. 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 TS 55 F, TSC 55 K, HK 55 and HKC 55 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 205561 starts to burn, wander or need more push than usual, it is time to have it sharpened or replaced.
