Cutter - V Groo Hw 118x18-135grad-alu

Extra Information

• The HW 118x18-135°/Alu is a special cutter for the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine.
• It is designed specifically for aluminium composite panels, not general timber routing.
• The cutter creates grooves that allow aluminium composite panels to be folded by 135°.
• Use the correct Festool feeler roller for the panel material thickness to achieve the correct groove result.
• For a different fold angle, choose the correct Festool cutter profile for that application.
• Dust and chip extraction should be used where possible to keep the cutting path clear and improve working conditions.

Features

• V-groove cutter design: Creates a controlled groove profile for folding aluminium composite panels.
• 118 mm cutter diameter: Purpose-made size for the Festool PF 1200 system.
• 18 mm cutting length: Suitable cutter geometry for aluminium composite panel grooving applications.
• 135° cutting angle: Enables accurate fold preparation for 135° panel folds.
• Carbide construction: Helps extend cutter life during aluminium composite panel processing.
• Material-specific performance: Designed for aluminium composite panels rather than general-purpose routing.
• Feeler roller compatibility: Works as part of the PF 1200 system with the appropriate feeler roller for the panel thickness.

Benefits

• Cleaner folding results: Accurate groove geometry helps panels fold neatly and consistently.
• Reduced finishing work: The cutter is designed for fast progress without burr formation, reducing cleanup after routing.
• Longer accessory life: Carbide cutting edges are built for durability in aluminium composite materials.
• Better system accuracy: Used with the PF 1200 and correct feeler roller, the cutter supports controlled groove depth and panel folding quality.
• Professional panel work: Suitable for fabrication and installation environments where panel finish and repeatability matter.

Application

• Creating V-grooves in aluminium composite panels
• Preparing aluminium composite panels for 135° folding
• Use with the Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine
• Aluminium composite cladding fabrication
• Signage and display panel work
• Shopfitting and architectural panel processing
• Clean folding preparation where accurate groove geometry is required

Safety

• Wear eye, ear and dust protection when routing aluminium composite panels.
• Use only with the compatible Festool PF 1200 aluminium composite milling machine.
• Disconnect the machine from power before fitting, removing or inspecting the cutter.
• Make sure the cutter is correctly fitted, sharp and undamaged before use.
• Use the correct feeler roller for the material thickness and folding application.
• Support and secure the aluminium composite panel before routing.
• Keep hands clear of the cutter and cutting path during operation.
• Do not force the machine through the cut; use a steady feed rate.
• Use dust and chip extraction where possible to keep the work area cleaner and improve visibility.
• Allow the cutter to stop completely before setting the machine down or making adjustments.
