Festool HW 260x2,5x30 W80 Wood Fine Cut Saw Blade

At a Glance: 260mm fine-cut circular saw blade with 80 precision teeth for exceptionally clean, splinter-free crosscuts in wood and coated panels.

Achieve beautifully clean and precise cutting results with the Festool HW 260x2,5x30 W80 WOOD FINE CUT Saw Blade. Specially developed for Festool KS 120 and KS 88 KAPEX sliding compound mitre saws, this professional-quality blade is engineered for fine crosscuts and accurate angle cuts in solid wood, veneered boards and coated panels. Its 80 high-quality carbide-tipped teeth produce a smooth cutting edge with minimal splintering, making it an excellent choice for visible components, furniture construction, interior finishing and other applications where the quality of the finished cut matters. The blade&s tooth geometry and negative chip angle are precisely matched to the machine and intended materials, delivering controlled cutting performance, excellent stability and dependable accuracy.

Precision WOOD FINE CUT blade for demanding finish work

The Festool WOOD FINE CUT range is designed for applications where a standard construction cut is not clean enough. The combination of 80 finely arranged teeth, a stable 1.8mm blade body and a 2.5mm cutting width allows the blade to produce controlled, highly refined crosscuts in natural timber and decorative board materials.

Product Highlights

Exceptionally clean cutting: Designed to produce precise, smooth and virtually splinter-free crosscuts.
80-tooth configuration: The high tooth count creates a refined cutting edge in timber, veneer and coated boards.
Machine-matched performance: Cutting angle and tooth geometry are specifically adapted for the Festool KS 120 and KS 88 KAPEX saws.
High-quality carbide teeth: Durable cutting teeth provide reliable cutting progress and a consistently accurate finish.
Controlled cutting action: The -5° chip angle supports stable and controlled cutting on a sliding compound mitre saw.
Ideal for visible components: Excellent for furniture, cabinetry, trim, mouldings and interior finishing work.
Festool colour coding: The yellow identification colour makes it easy to recognise the blade as suitable for woodworking.
Professional durability: Manufactured for dependable accuracy and repeated use in demanding workshop applications.

Extra Information

This blade is designed for use with Festool KS 120 and KS 88 KAPEX sliding compound mitre saws.
The 80-tooth configuration is optimised for fine crosscuts rather than fast ripping along the wood grain.
The yellow Festool colour code identifies the blade as part of the woodworking blade range.
For the best visible surface finish, position the workpiece according to the saw manufacturer&s recommended cutting orientation.
Always verify the blade diameter, arbor size, cutting width and machine compatibility before installation.
A clean and correctly sharpened blade produces better results and places less load on the saw motor.
The achievable cutting quality may vary according to the material, workpiece support, blade condition and feed rate.

Pro Tips

Use a slower, controlled feed rate when cutting delicate veneer or coated panels to obtain the cleanest possible edge.
Allow the blade to reach full operating speed before bringing it into contact with the workpiece.
Support long or narrow workpieces securely to prevent movement, vibration and inaccurate mitre cuts.
Keep the blade clean and free from resin build-up, as contamination can increase heat and reduce cutting quality.
Use the fine-cut blade for final visible cuts and keep a universal blade available for faster general-purpose work.
Replace or professionally sharpen the blade when increased cutting pressure, burning or rough edges become noticeable.
For coated boards, test the cut on an offcut first to confirm the best feed speed and workpiece orientation.

How to Use

Disconnect the saw from its power supply before installing or removing the saw blade.
Confirm that the blade diameter, 30mm arbor bore and cutting width are compatible with the Festool KS 120 or KS 88.
Open the saw&s blade guard and spindle-lock system according to the machine operating instructions.
Remove the existing blade while observing the correct procedure for the retaining flange and spindle fastener.
Install the Festool HW 260x2,5x30 W80 blade with its rotation arrow matching the direction of rotation marked on the saw.
Refit the retaining flange and securely tighten the blade fastener according to the machine instructions.
Check that the blade rotates freely and that all guards return to their correct operating positions.
Secure the workpiece firmly against the saw fence and support longer components where necessary.
Start the saw and allow the blade to reach full speed before beginning the cut.
Lower and guide the saw head through the material using a smooth, controlled cutting motion.
After completing the cut, allow the blade to stop fully before raising the saw head or removing offcuts.

Features

260mm blade diameter: Correctly sized for compatible Festool KS 120 and KS 88 KAPEX sliding compound mitre saws.
80 precision teeth: High tooth count supports smooth crosscuts with a superior edge finish.
2.5mm cutting width: Provides a stable, controlled kerf for accurate finishing work.
30mm arbor bore: Designed for secure and accurate mounting on the compatible KAPEX saw spindle.
Carbide-tipped construction: High-quality cutting teeth provide durability and reliable edge retention.
W tooth shape: Tooth geometry is optimised for clean crosscutting in wood and wood-based panels.
Negative chip angle: The -5° rake helps create controlled cutting action in mitre-saw applications.
Stable blade body: The 1.8mm standard blade thickness supports accurate tracking and reduced vibration.
WOOD FINE CUT identification: Festool&s yellow colour coding allows quick selection for fine woodworking applications.

Benefits

Reduced finishing work: Clean cutting edges minimise the sanding, trimming and reworking required after cutting.
Excellent visible-edge quality: Produces refined results on components where the cut edge remains exposed.
Greater cutting accuracy: The blade is precisely matched to the compatible Festool KAPEX saws for reliable crosscuts and mitres.
Less material damage: Fine tooth spacing helps minimise chipping in veneered and coated surfaces.
Professional results: Ideal for high-quality furniture, cabinetry, joinery and interior installation work.
Easy accessory selection: Clear blade markings and Festool colour coding simplify identification in a busy workshop.

Application

Clean and splinter-free crosscuts in solid wood.
Fine cutting of coated wooden panels.
Crosscutting veneered boards and furniture components.
Precision mitre and angle cuts in mouldings and trim.
Cutting skirting boards, cornices and interior finishing profiles.
Furniture, cabinet and joinery manufacturing.

Safety

Wear suitable eye, ear and dust protection whenever operating the saw.
Disconnect the saw from the mains power supply before installing, inspecting, cleaning or replacing the blade.
Use the saw blade only with compatible machines and within the maximum rotational speed permitted for the blade.
Ensure that the blade rotation arrow corresponds with the direction of rotation marked on the saw.
Never use a cracked, distorted, heavily worn or otherwise damaged saw blade.
Check that the arbor, flanges and blade-contact surfaces are clean before installation.
Secure the workpiece properly and keep hands outside the marked cutting and danger areas.
Never reach behind, underneath or across the moving saw blade.
Do not force the blade through the material. Use a smooth and controlled feed rate.
Allow the blade to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece.
Wait until the blade has stopped completely before removing offcuts or adjusting the workpiece.
Do not use the blade to cut materials for which it was not designed.
Resharpening, tooth replacement and blade repairs should be carried out only by a suitably qualified specialist.
Follow all safety and operating instructions supplied with the Festool KS 120 or KS 88 saw.
