Festool HW 168x1,8x20 TF52 L LAMINATE/HPL Saw Blade

At a Glance: Specialist 168mm, 52-tooth carbide saw blade with trapezoidal/flat tooth geometry and a slightly negative rake angle for precise cutting in laminate, coated panels, acrylic glass, melamine resin boards and mineral materials.

Achieve clean, accurate cuts in demanding laminated and coated materials with the Festool HW 168x1,8x20 TF52 L LAMINATE/HPL Saw Blade. Designed specifically for the Festool TS 60 K, TSV 60 K and CSC SYS 50, the blade combines a reduced 1.8mm cutting width with 52 fine-grain carbide-tipped teeth for efficient cutting and consistently high edge quality. Its trapezoidal/flat tooth geometry is optimised for plastic-based and highly abrasive panel materials, while the slightly negative -5° chip angle supports a long service life when cutting hard plastics. The application-specific tooth form, cutting angle and blade dimensions provide dependable performance in laminate, HPL, acrylic glass, coated boards, melamine resin panels and mineral materials.

Specialised cutting performance for demanding panel materials

The TF trapezoidal/flat tooth arrangement alternates between teeth that pre-cut the material surface and teeth that remove the remaining material. This geometry supports controlled cutting and clean finished edges in hard, brittle and surface-coated materials.

Pro Tips

Support large panels fully to prevent movement, vibration or surface damage during cutting.
Place the visible face according to the saw's cutting direction to minimise breakout on the finished surface.
Use a guide rail or correctly adjusted fence where applicable to maintain a straight and accurate cut.
Set the cutting depth only slightly deeper than the workpiece to improve control and reduce unnecessary blade exposure.
Use a steady feed rate and allow the blade to cut without excessive forward pressure.
Make a test cut in an offcut when working with an unfamiliar laminate, plastic or mineral material.
Use suitable dust extraction to maintain visibility and reduce airborne dust.
Clean adhesive and resin residue from the teeth regularly, as build-up can increase heat and reduce cutting quality.
Have the blade professionally sharpened when increased feed pressure, burning or excessive chipping becomes noticeable.
Use a suitable splinter guard when the compatible machine and application allow it.

How to Use

Switch off the saw and disconnect it from the mains supply or remove its battery packs.
Allow the installed blade to stop completely before beginning the blade change.
Inspect the replacement blade for cracks, distortion, damaged teeth or excessive contamination.
Confirm that the 168mm diameter, 20mm bore and 1.80mm cutting width are suitable for the machine.
Remove the existing blade according to the operating instructions supplied with the saw.
Clean the arbor, flange and blade-contact surfaces.
Fit the HW 168x1,8x20 TF52 L blade with its rotation arrow matching the direction marked on the saw.
Install and tighten the blade flange and retaining hardware according to the prescribed machine procedure.
Confirm that the blade is seated correctly and rotates freely without contacting guards or other components.
Reconnect or reinstall the power source only after the blade compartment is closed correctly.
Connect suitable dust extraction where applicable.
Set the required cutting depth and position the guide rail, fence or workpiece guide.
Support and secure the material so it cannot shift or close on the blade during cutting.
Start the saw and allow the blade to reach full operating speed.
Guide the saw or feed the workpiece smoothly and evenly without forcing the cut.
Complete the cutting pass and move the blade clear of the workpiece.
Switch off the saw and wait for the blade to stop completely before making adjustments or removing offcuts.
