Description

Festool HW R5-OFK 500 Roundover Cutter 27mm R5 Festool HW R5-OFK 500 Roundover Cutter 27mm R5 At a Glance: Precision carbide roundover cutter with a 5 mm radius, 27 mm cutter diameter and Z2 double-cut design for the Festool OFK 500 edge router. The Festool HW R5-OFK 500 is a precision roundover cutter developed specifically for clean, controlled edge finishing with the Festool OFK 500 edge router.

Designed for rounding plastic edging, solid wood edging and solid timber workpieces, this specialised cutter combines high-quality carbide cutting edges with Festool's direct spindle mounting system for excellent concentricity and a beautifully clean routed finish. Its 5 mm radius produces a smooth, professional roundover that softens sharp edges while maintaining a neat and consistent profile.

The cutter's special hollow-shaft construction mounts directly onto the router spindle, helping achieve excellent run-out accuracy, while the Z2 double-cut configuration provides two carbide cutting edges for efficient cutting and extended service life. Purpose-built precision for the OFK 500 Unlike conventional router bits fitted into a collet, the HW R5-OFK 500 uses Festool's special hollow-shaft design and mounts directly onto the spindle of the OFK 500.

This compact arrangement helps provide high rotational accuracy and a low installation height, making the cutter particularly well suited to precise edge work, rebated components and stacks of panels. Product highlights

• 5 mm roundover radius: Produces a clean, consistent R5 rounded profile on suitable plastic and solid wood edges.
• 27 mm cutter diameter: Compact cutter geometry optimised for Festool OFK 500 edge-routing applications.
