Festool HW 254x2,4x30 TF80 L LAMINATE/HPL Saw Blade
At a Glance: Specialist 254mm, 80-tooth carbide saw blade for producing precise, clean cuts in laminate, coated panels, melamine-faced boards, mineral materials and phenolic-resin-bonded materials with the Festool TKS 80 table saw.
Achieve clean, precise cuts in demanding coated and laminated materials with the Festool HW 254x2,4x30 TF80 L LAMINATE/HPL Saw Blade. Developed specifically for the Festool TKS 80 table saw, this specialist blade features 80 fine-grain carbide teeth in a TF tooth configuration for high-quality cutting in laminate, coated panels, melamine hard panels and other abrasive sheet materials. The tooth geometry and 4° chip angle are matched to the machine and intended application, helping reduce chipping while producing a neat finished edge. Manufactured from high-quality steel with durable carbide cutting teeth, the blade provides the precision and service life required for furniture production, cabinetmaking, shopfitting and interior installation.
The high tooth count and application-specific tooth geometry are designed to produce controlled, accurate cuts in hard, brittle and surface-coated materials where an ordinary general-purpose blade may cause excessive chipping or an uneven edge.

Pro Tips
- Support large panels fully on both the infeed and outfeed sides to prevent movement or surface damage.
- Place the visible face according to the cutting direction and machine instructions to minimise breakout on the finished surface.
- Use a steady, controlled feed rate and allow the blade to cut without forcing the workpiece.
- Ensure the fence or crosscut stop is accurately aligned before cutting finished cabinet components.
- Use suitable dust extraction to keep the cutting area clear and reduce airborne dust.
- Clean resin and adhesive residue from the teeth regularly, as build-up can increase heat and reduce cutting quality.
- Replace or professionally sharpen the blade when increased feed pressure, burning or excessive chipping becomes noticeable.
- Make a test cut in an offcut when working with unfamiliar laminate, mineral or resin-bonded material.
- Allow mineral and resin-bonded materials to cool between repeated demanding cuts where necessary.
How to Use
- Switch off the TKS 80 and disconnect it from the mains power supply.
- Allow the installed blade to stop completely before opening the machine or beginning a blade change.
- Inspect the replacement blade for damaged teeth, cracks, distortion or contamination.
- Confirm that the 254mm diameter, 30mm bore and 2.40mm cutting width are correct for the machine.
- Remove the existing blade according to the TKS 80 operating instructions.
- Clean the arbor, flanges and blade-contact surfaces.
- Install the HW 254x2,4x30 TF80 L blade with its direction arrow matching the rotation direction marked on the machine.
- Fit and tighten the blade flange and retaining hardware according to the specified procedure.
- Reinstall all guards and confirm that the blade rotates freely without contacting other components.
- Connect suitable dust extraction to the table saw.
- Set the blade height only as high as required for the workpiece thickness.
- Adjust the rip fence, mitre guide or sliding table according to the required cut.
- Support the workpiece securely and keep the intended cutting path clear.
- Start the table saw and allow the blade to reach full operating speed.
- Feed the material smoothly and evenly through the blade without twisting or forcing it.
- Use suitable push sticks or workpiece guides whenever the application requires them.
- After completing the cut, switch off the saw and wait for the blade to stop completely before removing offcuts or making adjustments.
Features
