Festool HW 216x2.3x30 WZ/FA60 Laminate/HPL Saw Blade

At a Glance: 216mm specialist carbide saw blade with 60 alternating and flat teeth for highly precise cross cuts in laminate, HPL, melamine-coated boards and mineral materials.

The Festool HW 216x2.3x30 WZ/FA60 Laminate/HPL Saw Blade is a professional precision-cutting blade developed specifically for the Festool KAPEX KS 60 sliding compound mitre saw and KSC 60 cordless sliding compound mitre saw. It is engineered for demanding materials that require exceptionally clean, controlled cutting performance, including laminate flooring, melamine-coated boards, HPL panels and mineral-based sheet materials.

The blade's specialised WZ/FA tooth geometry combines alternating teeth with flat teeth to produce a clean, accurately defined kerf in hard, brittle and coated materials. Its 60 high-quality carbide teeth, negative chip angle and machine-matched dimensions help reduce chipping while delivering smooth cutting progress and consistently precise cross-cutting results.

Festool carefully coordinates the blade geometry, machine and intended material to create a complete cutting system. This ensures dependable performance, excellent surface quality and a long service life when processing laminates, coated boards, phenolic-resin-bonded panels and suitable compound materials.

Professional cutting quality for laminate, HPL and coated boards

The Festool LAMINATE/HPL blade is designed for applications where a conventional wood blade may cause excessive chipping or premature wear. Its durable carbide teeth and application-specific geometry make it the ideal choice for flooring installers, cabinetmakers, shopfitters and interior professionals working with abrasive or highly finished panel materials.

Product Highlights

Specialist laminate performance: Designed for precise cutting of laminate, HPL and melamine-resin-bonded boards.
60 carbide teeth: The high tooth count produces clean, controlled cross cuts with excellent finished edges.
WZ/FA tooth geometry: Alternating and flat teeth work together to cut hard, coated and abrasive materials efficiently.
Machine-matched design: The cutting angle and tooth shape are precisely adapted to the Festool KS 60 and KSC 60.
Long service life: High-quality carbide teeth maintain consistent cutting performance during demanding applications.
Broad panel compatibility: Suitable for coated panels, laminate flooring, mineral materials and phenolic-resin-bonded sheets.
Festool colour coding: Red identification makes the blade easy to recognise for laminate and plastic-related applications.

Extra Information

This saw blade is designed specifically for the Festool KAPEX KS 60 and KSC 60 sliding compound mitre saws.
The WZ/FA designation identifies a combination of alternating and flat tooth shapes.
The blade is optimised for high-precision cross cuts in coated, abrasive and brittle panel materials.
Festool's red blade colour coding identifies the blade for laminate and plastic-related applications.
The 60-tooth configuration prioritises clean cutting quality rather than the fastest possible cutting speed.
Cut quality depends on blade sharpness, machine adjustment, workpiece support and a controlled feed rate.
Always confirm that the blade diameter, arbor size, cutting width and rotational rating match the saw before installation.

Pro Tips

Use a sharp blade and steady cutting speed to minimise chipping on brittle laminate surfaces.
Support the workpiece fully on both sides of the cutting line to reduce vibration and breakout.
Make a test cut on an offcut before processing expensive HPL, laminate or mineral material.
Allow the saw blade to reach full operating speed before lowering it into the workpiece.
Use a smooth, controlled downward and forward cutting action rather than forcing the saw.
Keep the blade clean and remove adhesive, resin and laminate deposits with a suitable blade cleaner.
Replace or professionally sharpen the blade when increased cutting pressure, burning or edge chipping becomes noticeable.
Use effective dust extraction, particularly when cutting mineral and resin-bonded materials.

How to Use

Disconnect the Festool KS 60 or KSC 60 from its power source before fitting, removing or inspecting the saw blade.
Confirm that the blade diameter, arbor hole and cutting width match the machine specifications.
Inspect the blade body and carbide teeth for cracks, damage, missing teeth or excessive wear.
Follow the saw manufacturer's blade-changing procedure and engage the spindle lock as instructed.
Fit the blade in the correct direction, matching its rotational arrow with the direction marking on the saw.
Install the flange and fastening components correctly and tighten them securely.
Check that the blade rotates freely and that the blade guard and safety mechanisms operate correctly.
Position the workpiece firmly against the fence and secure it with a suitable clamp where required.
Connect effective dust extraction and set the required mitre, bevel and cutting position.
Start the saw and allow the blade to reach full operating speed before entering the material.
Guide the blade through the workpiece using smooth, controlled pressure without forcing or twisting the saw head.
Complete the cut and allow the blade to stop fully before lifting the saw head or removing the workpiece.

Features

216mm blade diameter: Correctly sized for the Festool KAPEX KS 60 and KSC 60 sliding compound mitre saws.
60 precision-ground teeth: Provides refined cutting performance in coated, brittle and abrasive materials.
WZ/FA tooth configuration: Combines alternating teeth with flat teeth for clean and efficient material removal.
High-quality carbide teeth: Offers excellent wear resistance and dependable cutting life.
2.3mm cutting width: Produces a controlled and accurately defined kerf.
30mm arbor hole: Ensures secure and precise mounting on compatible Festool machines.
Negative chip angle: The -5° tooth angle supports controlled engagement and smooth cross-cutting action.
1.6mm blade body: Provides stability while maintaining an efficient cutting width.
Red colour coding: Identifies the blade for machining laminate, plastics and related composite materials.

Benefits

Cleaner finished edges: Helps reduce chipping and breakout on visible coated and laminated surfaces.
Reduced finishing work: Precise cuts can minimise the need for filing, sanding or edge repair.
Excellent material control: The negative chip angle helps prevent overly aggressive blade engagement.
Reliable cross-cut accuracy: Machine-specific geometry supports straight, repeatable mitre and bevel cuts.
Extended blade life: Durable carbide teeth withstand abrasive panel and laminate materials.
Greater application versatility: Suitable for flooring, cabinetry, shopfitting and interior construction materials.
Easy blade selection: Festool's colour coding allows the correct application blade to be identified quickly.

Safety

Wear suitable eye, hearing and respiratory protection whenever operating the saw.
Disconnect the machine from the mains or remove the battery before installing, removing or inspecting the blade.
Only use the blade with compatible machines that accept its 216mm diameter and 30mm arbor hole.
Inspect the blade before every use and do not operate it if the blade body or carbide teeth are cracked, damaged or excessively worn.
Ensure the blade is installed in the correct rotational direction and that all fastening components are secure.
Never exceed the maximum rotational speed marked on the blade or specified by the manufacturer.
Secure the workpiece firmly against the saw fence and use suitable clamps where required.
Keep hands, loose clothing, jewellery and electrical cables clear of the cutting area.
Check the workpiece for nails, screws, staples and other hidden objects before cutting.
Do not force, twist or apply sideways pressure to the blade during the cut.
Use effective dust extraction and suitable respiratory protection when cutting mineral or resin-bonded materials.
Allow the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw head, removing offcuts or making adjustments.
