Description

Festool 205771 HW 168×1.8×20 W28 Wood Universal Saw Blade

The Festool 205771 is the HW 168×1.8×20 W28 wood universal saw blade from Festool, a 168 mm carbide-tipped blade with 28 teeth and a 20 mm bore. It is made for both rip cuts and cross-cuts in solid wood, plywood, MDF, HDF, chipboard and multilayer panels. 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 60 K plunge-cut saw. 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, carpenters and installers use a universal blade as the everyday blade that stays on the saw. It handles breaking down sheet goods, trimming solid stock and general shop and site work without a blade change for every task.

Getting Clean Cuts

For show edges in veneer, switch to a fine cut blade; for heavy ripping in thick solid wood, a rip blade cuts faster. 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 205771 starts to burn, wander or need more push than usual, it is time to have it sharpened or replaced.
