Festool HW 160x1,8x20 W28 WOOD UNIVERSAL Circular Saw Blade

At a Glance: 160mm 28 tooth universal wood saw blade for medium cuts in solid wood and panel materials

The Festool HW 160x1,8x20 W28 WOOD UNIVERSAL circular saw blade is the practical all-rounder for everyday wood cutting. Designed for compatible Festool plunge-cut and portable circular saws, this 160mm blade delivers fast, accurate and reliable medium cuts in solid wood, blockboard, plywood, multiplex, chipboard, MDF and HDF. With 28 carbide-tipped teeth and alternating tooth geometry, it is ideal when you need one dependable blade for both rip cuts and cross cuts in wood-based materials.

WOOD UNIVERSAL performance for versatile everyday cutting

This blade offers a balanced cutting solution between fast rip cutting and fine finishing. The W tooth shape, medium chip angle and high-quality carbide teeth make it suitable for a wide range of wooden materials and building panels.

Product highlights

Universal wood blade: Suitable for a broad range of wooden materials and building panels.
28 tooth design: Balanced tooth count for medium cuts with good cutting speed and cut quality.
Alternating teeth: Suitable for both rip cuts and cross cuts in wood-based materials.
Carbide-tipped teeth: High-quality carbide teeth provide reliable cutting performance and long service life.
Festool system fit: Designed for selected TS, TSC, HK and HKC saws for precise, efficient work.

Extra Information

This blade is part of Festool's WOOD UNIVERSAL range for medium cuts in wood and building panels.
The 28 tooth layout makes it a versatile option for users who need both cutting speed and good cut quality.
Use this blade for general wood cutting where an ultra-fine finish or aggressive rip cut is not specifically required.
For very fast rip cuts in solid wood, use a dedicated WOOD RIP CUT blade.
For cleaner finishing cuts in coated or veneered boards, use a dedicated WOOD FINE CUT blade.

Pro Tips

Use this blade as your everyday all-round wood blade for mixed workshop and site work.
For straighter and cleaner panel cuts, pair the saw with a Festool guide rail.
Keep the blade clean from resin and adhesive build-up to maintain smooth cutting performance.
Match the blade to the job: this blade is ideal for medium cuts, but specialist blades will perform better for laminate, aluminium, plastics or very fine finishing cuts.

How to Use

Disconnect the saw from the power supply or remove the battery before changing the blade.
Confirm that the blade diameter, bore size and machine compatibility match your saw.
Select this blade for general medium cuts in wood and wood-based panels.
Fit the blade with the rotation direction matching the direction shown on the saw.
Tighten the blade securely according to the saw's operating instructions.
Set the correct cutting depth for the material being cut.
Allow the blade to reach full speed and feed the saw smoothly through the material.
