Festool S8 HW D19 12x12 KL OFK Edge-Trimming Cutter

At a Glance: Professional 19mm flush-trimming cutter with a four-sided 12 x 12mm reversible carbide blade and removable steel ball-bearing guide for trimming plastic and solid wood edges.

Produce clean, flush edges in solid wood and plastic edging with the Festool S8 HW D19 12x12 KL OFK Edge-Trimming Cutter. Designed for compatible Festool routers and edge routers, this professional cutter combines a 19mm cutting diameter with a durable 12 x 12mm reversible carbide blade. The blade provides four usable cutting edges, allowing it to be rotated when one edge becomes blunt instead of replacing or sharpening the complete cutter. A robust steel ball bearing guides the cutter along the workpiece during flush trimming and can be removed where bearing-free operation is required. The optimised bearing mount supports controlled guidance and reliable professional results in furniture production, cabinetmaking, shopfitting and edge-processing applications.

Four sharp cutting edges from one reversible blade

The square carbide insert can be rotated through four positions as each cutting edge wears. This keeps the cutter working cleanly while reducing downtime and eliminating the need to sharpen a permanently brazed cutting edge.

Product Highlights

Four-sided reversible blade: The 12 x 12mm carbide insert provides four usable cutting edges.
Flush edge trimming: Designed for accurately trimming projecting edge material level with the workpiece surface.
For wood and plastic edges: Suitable for both solid wood edging and compatible plastic edge materials.
Removable ball-bearing guide: Can be used with the supplied steel bearing or without a bearing where required.
Robust steel bearing: Provides controlled guidance along the workpiece edge during trimming.
Optimised bearing mount: Designed for secure operation with the 19mm bearing guide.
19mm cutting diameter: Provides stable and efficient edge trimming with compatible Festool machines.
8mm shank: Fits suitable Festool 8mm router collets.
Wide Festool compatibility: Suitable for selected Festool routers and edge routers, including cordless models.

Extra Information

The official Festool product designation is S8 HW D19 12x12 KL OFK.
The cutter is compatible with the Festool OF 1010, OF 1010 R, OFK 700, MFK 700 and MFKC 700.
The cutter can be used with or without its ball-bearing guide.
The supplied steel ball bearing follows the workpiece edge during flush-trimming applications.
The 12 x 12mm reversible blade has four usable cutting edges.
When one cutting edge becomes blunt, the blade can be loosened, rotated by 90° and secured again.
The cutter has a straight 0° cutting profile and does not produce a chamfer.
A compatible router, 8mm collet, extraction system and additional accessories are not included.

Pro Tips

Trim thick projecting edges in more than one pass to reduce cutter load and improve the finished surface.
Keep the ball bearing clean and confirm that it rotates freely before beginning work.
Rotate the reversible blade as soon as increased feed pressure, burning or tearing becomes noticeable.
Clean the blade seat carefully before rotating or replacing the insert so it remains accurately positioned.
Use a steady feed rate and avoid pausing in one place, as this may leave a burn mark or indentation.
Make a test cut on an offcut when trimming unfamiliar plastic edge material.
Route against the cutter's rotation for controlled handheld edge trimming unless the machine instructions specify otherwise.
Use suitable dust extraction to keep chips away from the bearing and improve visibility of the trimming line.
Protect finished panel surfaces from chips trapped beneath the router base.

How to Use

Disconnect the router from the mains supply or remove its battery pack.
Inspect the cutter body, reversible blade, retaining screw and ball bearing for wear or damage.
Fit a clean and undamaged 8mm collet to the compatible router where required.
Insert the cutter shank into the collet to the minimum insertion depth specified by the machine manufacturer.
Tighten the collet securely using the prescribed router procedure.
Confirm that the ball bearing is installed correctly and rotates freely.
Set the routing depth so that the cutting edge covers the projecting edge material.
Secure and support the workpiece on a stable surface.
Connect suitable dust extraction where available.
Position the router so the ball bearing contacts the reference edge.
Start the router and allow the cutter to reach full operating speed.
Guide the machine smoothly along the edge while maintaining firm bearing contact.
Complete the pass and move the cutter clear of the workpiece.
Wait for the cutter to stop completely before setting the router down.
Disconnect the machine before rotating the reversible blade or servicing the bearing.
After use, remove accumulated dust and resin from the cutter and bearing.

Features

Reversible carbide cutting insert: Provides durable cutting performance and can be turned when an edge becomes worn.
12mm cutting length: Suitable for trimming common furniture and panel-edge applications.
19mm cutter diameter: Offers a stable cutting geometry for controlled flush trimming.
52mm overall length: Provides a compact cutter format for compatible routing machines.
0° cutter angle: Produces a straight, flush-trimmed edge without chamfering.
8mm cylindrical shank: Designed for secure clamping in a suitable 8mm router collet.
Steel ball bearing: Follows the reference edge and controls the final trimming position.
Optional bearing-free use: The cutter can also be operated without the ball bearing in suitable guided applications.
Replaceable wear components: The reversible blade and bearing can be serviced independently of the cutter body.

Benefits

Consistently sharp cutting: Rotate the insert to expose a fresh cutting edge when performance begins to decline.
Reduced maintenance time: No sharpening is required when changing from one insert edge to the next.
Lower ongoing cutter cost: The complete cutter body does not need to be replaced when a cutting edge becomes blunt.
Clean flush results: The bearing follows the workpiece and helps maintain an even trimmed edge.
Flexible edge processing: Suitable for both plastic edging and solid wood edge strips.
Controlled machine guidance: The robust bearing and compact cutter geometry support smooth routing along the component.
Professional system fit: Designed for compatible Festool routers, edge routers and 8mm collets.
Reduced production interruptions: A fresh cutting edge can be restored quickly by rotating the reversible blade.

Safety

Wear suitable eye, hearing and respiratory protection during routing.
Disconnect the router from the mains supply or remove its battery before fitting, removing or servicing the cutter.
Use the cutter only with compatible routers, a suitable 8mm collet and within the permitted machine speed range.
Inspect the cutter, reversible blade, fixing screw and ball bearing before every use.
Do not use the cutter if the body, blade, bearing or retaining components are cracked, loose or damaged.
Ensure the reversible blade is seated correctly and its retaining screw is tightened securely.
Confirm that the ball bearing rotates freely and cannot contact the cutting edge.
Insert the shank to the minimum clamping depth specified by the router manufacturer.
Secure and support the workpiece firmly before routing.
Keep both hands on the designated machine handles and away from the rotating cutter.
Allow the cutter to reach full operating speed before contacting the workpiece.
Guide the router steadily and do not force, tilt or twist the cutter during the pass.
