Festool HW 118x14-90°/Alu V-Groove Cutter

At a Glance: 118 mm carbide V-groove cutter with 90° angle, designed for the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine.

The Festool HW 118x14-90°/Alu is a specialised V-groove cutter designed for clean and accurate grooving in aluminium composite panels. Made for use with the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine, this cutter allows panels to be prepared for precise folding applications. Its carbide cutting edges provide long service life, while the cutter geometry is designed for fast work progress and clean groove formation without burrs.

Precision grooving for aluminium composite panel folding

This V-groove cutter is built for professional aluminium composite panel work where accurate groove depth and clean fold preparation matter. It is ideal for preparing panels so they can be folded neatly and consistently for signage, cladding, fabrication and installation applications.

Product highlights

For aluminium composite panels: Designed for easy grooving in aluminium composite material.
Made for PF 1200: Suitable for the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine.
90° V-groove angle: Creates precise V-grooves for controlled folding applications.
118 mm diameter: Large cutter diameter designed for compatible Festool aluminium composite milling work.
Carbide cutting edges: Provides excellent durability and long service life.
Fast work progress: Designed to cut efficiently while reducing burr formation.
Clean folding preparation: Used to create grooves that allow aluminium composite panels to be folded accurately.

Extra Information

This cutter is designed for the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine.
It is intended for aluminium composite panels, not general timber routing.
The cutter is designed to work with the correct feeler roller matched to the material thickness.
The 90° cutter profile is used to create grooves that allow aluminium composite panels to be folded cleanly.
For best results, use the cutter as part of the complete Festool PF 1200 system setup.

Pro Tips

Match the feeler roller to the aluminium composite panel thickness before grooving.
Make a test groove on an offcut before working on the final panel.
Keep the machine feed smooth and steady to help reduce burrs and maintain groove quality.
Use suitable dust and chip extraction where possible to keep the groove line clear.
Inspect the cutter edges regularly and replace the cutter when cutting quality starts to drop.

How to Use

Confirm that the cutter is suitable for the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine.
Select the correct feeler roller for the aluminium composite panel thickness.
Fit the V-groove cutter securely according to the machine instructions.
Set the machine and guide system for the required groove position.
Make a test groove on scrap material to confirm groove depth and folding result.
Guide the machine smoothly along the panel without forcing the cut.
Check the groove quality before folding the panel.
Allow the cutter to stop completely before lifting the machine away or making adjustments.
Clean the cutter and machine area after use and store the cutter safely.
