Festool HW S8 D23,1/R6/30° Roundover and Chamfer Router Cutter

At a Glance: Professional 8 mm shank carbide cutter combining a 6 mm roundover radius with a smooth 30° chamfer transition.

Create sophisticated decorative edge profiles with the Festool HW S8 D23,1/R6/30° roundover and chamfer cutter. This specialised profile bit combines a smooth 6 mm radius with a 30° chamfer, producing a clean and continuous transition without an unwanted shoulder or visible step between the two profiles. Its conical guide bearing follows the workpiece edge accurately and maintains the correct relationship between the roundover and chamfer throughout the cut. Manufactured from first-class steel with durable carbide cutting edges, the cutter provides excellent stability, running accuracy and a long service life for demanding furniture, cabinetry and interior joinery applications.

Two complementary edge profiles in one precise cut

The HW S8 D23,1/R6/30° combines the soft appearance of a rounded edge with the crisp definition of a chamfer. Its carefully coordinated cutter geometry and conical guide bearing create a seamless meeting point between the 6 mm radius and 30° bevel, adding a refined architectural detail to furniture edges and timber components.

Product Highlights

  • Combined profile: Produces a 6 mm roundover that transitions smoothly into a 30° chamfer.
  • Step-free finish: The coordinated geometry creates a clean transition without an unwanted shoulder or witness line.
  • Conical guide bearing: Maintains accurate contact with the workpiece edge while following straight or shaped components.
  • Carbide cutting edges: Wear-resistant carbide supports precise cutting and an extended service life.
  • 8 mm shank: Suitable for compatible Festool routers fitted with the correct 8 mm collet.
  • Professional edge detailing: Ideal for furniture, cabinetry, shelving and decorative joinery.
  • Repeatable results: Bearing guidance helps reproduce a consistent profile along the complete workpiece edge.

Extra Information

  • The cutter creates a 6 mm radius that transitions into a 30° chamfer without an unwanted step between the two profiles.
  • The conical guide bearing is an essential part of the profile geometry and should remain in continuous contact with the workpiece edge.
  • The replacement Festool D23,1/30° guide bearing is available separately under item number 491404.
  • The router must be equipped with a compatible 8 mm collet and suitable speed range.
  • The workpiece edge should be smooth and free from defects because the guide bearing follows the existing surface.
  • Always make a test cut to confirm the routing depth and position of the radius-to-chamfer transition.
  • The cutter is supplied in a self-service display pack.

Pro Tips

  • Use an offcut of the same material to establish the exact cutter height before routing the finished workpiece.
  • When removing substantial material, make more than one controlled pass and reserve a light final pass for the best finish.
  • Keep the router base flat and the conical bearing firmly against the workpiece edge throughout the cut.
  • Route end grain first and complete the long-grain edges afterwards to help remove minor breakout at the corners.
  • Maintain a smooth and consistent feed rate to prevent burn marks or uneven profile transitions.
  • Clean resin from the cutting edges and bearing regularly, and confirm that the bearing rotates freely before use.
  • Use effective dust extraction to improve visibility and prevent chips from interfering with bearing guidance.

How to Use

  • Disconnect the router from its electrical supply or remove the battery before fitting the cutter.
  • Inspect the carbide edges, 8 mm shank and conical guide bearing for damage or excessive wear.
  • Insert the shank into a clean 8 mm collet to the depth specified by the router manufacturer and tighten it securely.
  • Adjust the cutter height according to where the 6 mm radius and 30° chamfer must meet the workpiece edge.
  • Secure the workpiece firmly and connect suitable dust-extraction equipment.
  • Select an appropriate router speed for the cutter diameter and workpiece material.
  • Start the router clear of the workpiece and allow it to reach full operating speed.
  • Guide the cutter steadily against the normal direction of rotation while keeping the conical bearing in contact with the edge.
  • Maintain a consistent feed rate and complete additional controlled passes where required.
  • Allow the cutter to stop completely before placing the router down or inspecting the finished profile.

Features

  • 23.1 mm cutter diameter: Provides the geometry required for the combined roundover and chamfer profile.
  • 6 mm rounding radius: Softens the workpiece edge while retaining a defined decorative shape.
  • 30° chamfer angle: Creates a subtle bevel that meets the rounded section smoothly.
  • Conical ball bearing: Guides the cutter accurately along the edge without requiring a separate side fence.
  • 19 mm cutting length: Provides practical profile coverage for furniture and joinery components.
  • 60 mm overall length: Designed for controlled operation in compatible routers.
  • Two carbide cutting edges: Deliver efficient material removal and a clean routed finish.

Benefits

  • Distinctive edge design: Combines rounded comfort with the crisp visual definition of a chamfer.
  • Fewer routing operations: Creates both profile elements with one correctly adjusted cutter.
  • Clean profile transitions: Matched cutter and bearing geometry helps avoid ridges between the radius and bevel.
  • Consistent dimensions: The guide bearing maintains a repeatable profile along the workpiece edge.
  • Long-lasting performance: Durable carbide cutting edges withstand demanding professional woodworking applications.
  • Reduced finishing work: A controlled feed and correct setup produce a smooth edge requiring minimal sanding.

Application

  • Creating combined rounded and chamfered edges.
  • Profiling furniture doors, drawer fronts and cabinet components.
  • Adding decorative edge details to shelving and tabletops.
  • Rounding and chamfering straight or shaped timber edges.
  • Producing consistent edge profiles on repeated components.
  • Furniture manufacturing, cabinetry and interior joinery.
  • Decorative profiling of suitable solid wood and wood-based materials.

Safety

  • Wear suitable eye, hearing and respiratory protection during routing operations.
  • Disconnect the router from its power source before installing, removing, cleaning or inspecting the cutter.
  • Never use the cutter if the shank, carbide edges, soldered joints or guide bearing are damaged.
  • Use only a clean, correctly sized 8 mm collet and tighten the cutter according to the router instructions.
  • Ensure that the selected router speed does not exceed the maximum permitted speed for the cutter.
  • Secure the workpiece firmly and ensure that the guide-bearing contact edge is stable and free from obstructions.
  • Keep both hands on the router handles and away from the rotating cutter.
  • Feed the router against the normal cutter rotation and avoid uncontrolled climb cutting.
  • Do not force the cutter or attempt to remove excessive material in an unstable pass.
  • Wait for the cutter to stop completely before placing the router down or making adjustments.
  • Follow all operating and safety instructions supplied with the Festool router and cutter.
