Festool HW 118x18-135°/Alu V-Groove Cutter

At a Glance: 118 mm carbide V-groove cutter with 135° angle for grooving aluminium composite panels with the Festool PF 1200

The Festool HW 118x18-135°/Alu is a specialist V-groove cutter designed for the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine. It is made for creating clean, accurate grooves in aluminium composite panels so that the panels can be folded neatly to 135°. With carbide cutting edges, fast cutting progress and a cutter profile matched to the correct Festool feeler roller for the material thickness, this cutter is built for professional aluminium composite panel processing where clean folding, accuracy and surface quality matter.

Perfect 135° grooves in aluminium composite panels

This cutter is ideal for sign makers, cladding installers, shopfitters and fabrication teams working with aluminium composite panels. It allows the PF 1200 system to produce accurate V-grooves for folding applications, helping panels bend cleanly without unnecessary burr formation or poor edge control.

Product highlights

  • 135° V-groove profile: Designed for creating grooves that allow aluminium composite panels to be folded by 135°.
  • For PF 1200: Made for the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine.
  • Carbide cutting edges: Provides long service life and reliable cutting performance in aluminium composite material.
  • Clean cutting action: Designed for fast work progress without unnecessary burr formation.
  • System-matched setup: Tailored to work with the correct feeler roller according to the panel material thickness.
  • Professional panel fabrication: Ideal for aluminium composite cladding, signage, shopfitting and architectural panel work.

Extra Information

  • The HW 118x18-135°/Alu is a special cutter for the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine.
  • It is designed specifically for aluminium composite panels, not general timber routing.
  • The cutter creates grooves that allow aluminium composite panels to be folded by 135°.
  • Use the correct Festool feeler roller for the panel material thickness to achieve the correct groove result.
  • For a different fold angle, choose the correct Festool cutter profile for that application.
  • Dust and chip extraction should be used where possible to keep the cutting path clear and improve working conditions.

Pro Tips

  • Always match the cutter and feeler roller to the aluminium composite panel thickness before routing the final panel.
  • Test the groove on an offcut first. Aluminium composite panels are not very forgiving once the wrong groove is cut.
  • Use steady feed pressure and let the cutter do the work. Forcing the machine can spoil the groove quality.
  • Keep the panel properly supported so it cannot vibrate or shift while routing.
  • Inspect the carbide edges regularly. A dull cutter can create heat, rough grooves and poor folding results.

How to Use

  • Confirm that the machine is the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine.
  • Select the HW 118x18-135°/Alu cutter when a 135° fold groove is required.
  • Disconnect the machine from the power supply before fitting or changing the cutter.
  • Fit the cutter securely according to the PF 1200 operating instructions.
  • Install the correct feeler roller for the aluminium composite panel thickness.
  • Support and secure the panel properly before routing.
  • Connect suitable extraction where required.
  • Make a test groove on offcut material and check the folding result before machining the final panel.
  • Guide the machine steadily along the cutting path without forcing it.
  • Allow the cutter to stop completely before lifting the machine away or making adjustments.

Features

  • V-groove cutter design: Creates a controlled groove profile for folding aluminium composite panels.
  • 118 mm cutter diameter: Purpose-made size for the Festool PF 1200 system.
  • 18 mm cutting length: Suitable cutter geometry for aluminium composite panel grooving applications.
  • 135° cutting angle: Enables accurate fold preparation for 135° panel folds.
  • Carbide construction: Helps extend cutter life during aluminium composite panel processing.
  • Material-specific performance: Designed for aluminium composite panels rather than general-purpose routing.
  • Feeler roller compatibility: Works as part of the PF 1200 system with the appropriate feeler roller for the panel thickness.

Benefits

  • Cleaner folding results: Accurate groove geometry helps panels fold neatly and consistently.
  • Reduced finishing work: The cutter is designed for fast progress without burr formation, reducing cleanup after routing.
  • Longer accessory life: Carbide cutting edges are built for durability in aluminium composite materials.
  • Better system accuracy: Used with the PF 1200 and correct feeler roller, the cutter supports controlled groove depth and panel folding quality.
  • Professional panel work: Suitable for fabrication and installation environments where panel finish and repeatability matter.

Application

  • Creating V-grooves in aluminium composite panels
  • Preparing aluminium composite panels for 135° folding
  • Use with the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine
  • Aluminium composite cladding fabrication
  • Signage and display panel work
  • Shopfitting and architectural panel processing
  • Clean folding preparation where accurate groove geometry is required

Safety

  • Wear eye, ear and dust protection when routing aluminium composite panels.
  • Use only with the compatible Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine.
  • Disconnect the machine from power before fitting, removing or inspecting the cutter.
  • Make sure the cutter is correctly fitted, sharp and undamaged before use.
  • Use the correct feeler roller for the material thickness and folding application.
  • Support and secure the aluminium composite panel before routing.
  • Keep hands clear of the cutter and cutting path during operation.
  • Do not force the machine through the cut; use a steady feed rate.
  • Use dust and chip extraction where possible to keep the work area cleaner and improve visibility.
  • Allow the cutter to stop completely before setting the machine down or making adjustments.
