Festool FK D 50x30 Rebating Head
At a Glance: 50mm rebating head with 30mm useful length, replaceable carbide reversible blades and cutter spindle mounting for stationary CMS routing applications.
The Festool FK D 50x30 Rebating Head is a professional routing accessory designed for accurate, efficient rebating work in stationary use with the Festool Compact Module System. Made for use with compatible Festool routers and cutter spindles, this rebating head offers a large 50mm diameter for producing deeper rebates with excellent control. Unlike traditional cutters that require resharpening, the FK D 50x30 uses replaceable carbide reversible blades, keeping the tool ready for work with a constant cutting diameter. It is a robust, practical solution for workshop routing where repeatable rebate depth, clean edges and long-term cutting reliability matter.
The FK D 50x30 is designed for intensive rebating applications where downtime needs to be kept low. The reversible blade system means worn or damaged blades can be changed quickly, helping maintain clean cutting performance without resharpening and without changing the cutting diameter.
