Description

Festool 495388 HW 260×2.5×30 W60 Wood Universal Saw Blade

The Festool 495388 is the HW 260×2.5×30 W60 wood universal saw blade from Festool, a 260 mm carbide-tipped blade with 60 teeth and a 30 mm bore. It is made for smooth cross-cuts and fine rip cuts in solid wood, plywood, MDF, HDF, chipboard and soft plastics.

Where It Fits

Festool lists this blade for the Festool KAPEX KS 120 miter saw, and other saws that take a 260 mm blade with a 30 mm bore. 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 495388 starts to burn, wander or need more push than usual, it is time to have it sharpened or replaced.
