Description

Festool 495386 HW 260×2.5×30 TF64 Laminate/HPL Saw Blade

The Festool 495386 is the HW 260×2.5×30 TF64 laminate/hpl saw blade from Festool, a 260 mm carbide-tipped blade with 64 teeth and a 30 mm bore. It is made for clean, chip-free cuts in hard coated materials in laminate flooring, solid surface materials and other hard-coated 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 KAPEX KS 120 miter 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

Kitchen and bath installers, countertop fabricators, flooring crews and shopfitters use this style of blade on coated and brittle materials, where a standard wood blade would chip the surface layer.

Getting Clean Cuts

Keep the coated face where the teeth enter the material, support the panel fully so it cannot flex, and feed at an even rate so the edge stays chip-free. 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 495386 starts to burn, wander or need more push than usual, it is time to have it sharpened or replaced.
