Festool HW S8 D38/12 Rebating Cutter with Reversible Blades
At a Glance: 38mm diameter rebating cutter with a 12mm cutting length, 8mm shank and replaceable reversible blades for producing precise rebate depths.
The Festool HW S8 D38/12 Rebating Cutter is a highly versatile professional router bit designed for accurately cutting rebates along the edges of timber and wood-based materials. Its 38mm cutter diameter and 12mm cutting length make it ideal for joinery, cabinetmaking, furniture production and general woodworking applications where clean, consistent rebate dimensions are essential.
Unlike a conventional brazed router bit, this cutter uses reversible carbide blades that can be turned when one cutting edge becomes worn. This restores a sharp cutting edge without changing the cutter diameter, helping maintain dependable dimensional accuracy and extending the practical service life of the tool.
The fitted guide bearing follows the edge of the workpiece, allowing the cutter to produce a controlled rebate without requiring a separate parallel fence. By changing the ball bearing, the same cutter can produce rebate depths of 8mm, 9.5mm, 11mm, 12.6mm or 14.6mm, making it an exceptionally flexible addition to a professional routing setup.
The Festool HW S8 D38/12 combines a robust cutter body, reversible carbide blades and interchangeable guide bearings to provide consistent, repeatable routing results. The replaceable cutting edges remain dimensionally uniform, while the bearing-guided design makes accurate rebate routing straightforward across a wide variety of woodworking projects.
