Festool S8 HW R3 D28 KL12,7 MFK Roundover Cutter With Reversible Blades
At a Glance: 8mm shank roundover cutter with 3mm radius, 28mm diameter, carbide reversible blades and precision ball bearing for clean edge rounding and flush trimming.
The Festool S8 HW R3 D28 KL12,7 MFK Roundover Cutter is a precision router bit designed for smooth, consistent edge rounding on wood and plastic. With its 3mm radius, this cutter creates a more noticeable rounded edge than the smaller R1, R1,5 and R2 versions, making it ideal for furniture, panels, trims and workpieces where a softer, more comfortable edge profile is required. The reversible carbide blade system keeps the cutter sharp and economical, while the precisely matched ball bearing guides the cutter cleanly along the workpiece edge for accurate, repeatable results. It is a professional Festool edge-finishing cutter for neat rounding, flush trimming and solid wood finishing work.
This cutter allows flush trimming and rounding in a single working step where the application allows. When the cutting edge becomes blunt, the reversible blade can simply be turned, giving a sharp edge again without resharpening. This helps maintain cutter accuracy, reduce downtime and deliver a clean, consistent finish over a long service life.

Pro Tips
- Use this 3mm radius cutter when you want a more comfortable rounded edge on furniture, panels and handled workpieces.
- Make a test pass on scrap material first to confirm the radius, depth setting and final edge appearance.
- Turn or replace the reversible blade as soon as the cut quality drops to avoid burning, chipping or rough edges.
- Keep the ball bearing clean and spinning freely so the cutter follows the workpiece edge smoothly.
- Use steady feed pressure and avoid forcing the cutter; let the carbide blade do the cutting.
- For the cleanest finish on solid wood, route with controlled movement and pay attention to grain direction.
How to Use
- Confirm that the router is compatible and fitted with the correct 8mm collet.
- Disconnect the router from power before fitting the cutter.
- Insert the cutter shank into the collet to the correct depth and tighten securely.
- Set the routing depth so the bearing and cutter profile are correctly positioned on the workpiece edge.
- Test the setup on scrap material before routing the final workpiece.
- Allow the router to reach full speed before bringing the cutter into contact with the material.
- Guide the router steadily along the edge, allowing the ball bearing to follow the workpiece.
- After routing, switch off the machine and wait for the cutter to stop completely before setting the router down.
- Clean the cutter and check the blade condition before storing.
