Festool HW 160x1,8x20 WD42 WOOD FINE CUT Circular Saw Blade

At a Glance: 160mm fine cut saw blade with 42 teeth for clean, splinter-free cuts in wood and coated panels

The Festool HW 160x1,8x20 WD42 WOOD FINE CUT saw blade is made for precision work where a clean finish matters. Designed for compatible Festool plunge-cut and portable circular saws, this 160mm carbide-tipped blade delivers smooth, controlled cuts in solid wood, veneered boards, coated panels and MDF. It is a brilliant choice for cabinetmaking, kitchen fitting, panel work and fine cross cuts where rough edges are simply not invited to the party.

WOOD FINE CUT quality for clean and precise finishing cuts

This blade is built for high-quality results in wood-based materials. The fine tooth count, adapted tooth geometry and carbide-tipped construction help deliver clean, splinter-free cuts while maintaining a smooth running action and long service life.

Product highlights

Fine cut performance: Ideal for clean and splinter-free cross cuts in solid wood, coated boards and veneered panels.
42 tooth design: Provides a smooth cut finish for furniture, kitchen and panel applications.
Carbide-tipped teeth: High-quality carbide teeth support long blade life and consistent cutting performance.
Adapted tooth geometry: Cutting angle and tooth shape are matched to the application and compatible Festool machines.
Festool system fit: Designed for selected TS, TSC, HK and HKC saws for accurate, efficient cutting.

Extra Information

This blade is part of Festool's WOOD FINE CUT range for high-quality finishing cuts in wood and coated boards.
The WD42 tooth configuration is suited to fine cutting rather than aggressive ripping.
For best results, use with a guide rail when cutting panels, worktops and sheet material.
Keep the blade clean from resin and adhesive build-up to maintain cutting quality.
Use the correct blade type for the material. For laminate, HPL, aluminium or plastics, choose the relevant Festool specialist blade.

Pro Tips

Use this blade when the finish of the cut matters more than fast material removal.
For coated and veneered panels, support the workpiece properly and use a splinterguard or guide rail setup where possible.
Let the blade reach full speed before entering the material for a cleaner start to the cut.
A steady feed rate gives better results than forcing the saw through the board.

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.
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 required cutting depth before starting the cut.
Use a guide rail for straight, clean panel cuts where possible.
Start the saw, allow it to reach full speed, and feed the blade smoothly through the material.

Features

160mm blade diameter: Suitable for compatible Festool saws using 160mm blades.
1.80mm cutting width: Thin cutting width helps the saw move efficiently through the material.
20mm bore: Designed for saws with a 20mm blade arbor.
WD tooth shape: Fine cut tooth geometry for clean, controlled work in wood-based materials.
Colour coded: Festool colour coding helps make blade selection quicker and easier.

Benefits

Cleaner finished edges: Helps reduce splintering when cutting coated, veneered and solid wood materials.
Better control: The blade geometry promotes smooth running for accurate cuts.
Longer service life: Carbide-tipped teeth are made for durability and reliable cutting quality.
Less material waste: Cleaner cuts mean fewer damaged edges and less rework.
Professional finish: Perfect for work where the cut edge will be visible or needs minimal finishing.

Safety

Wear eye, ear and dust protection when cutting wood, MDF, coated panels or veneered boards.
Disconnect the saw from power or remove the battery before fitting or changing the blade.
Only use the blade on compatible saws with the correct blade diameter, bore size and speed rating.
Check the blade for damage, missing teeth or cracks before use.
Make sure the blade is fitted in the correct rotation direction.
Secure the workpiece properly and keep hands away from the cutting path.
