Festool HW S8 D31,4/R6/45° Roundover and Chamfer Router Cutter

At a Glance: 31.4mm carbide router cutter with an 8mm shank, 6mm radius, 45° chamfer profile and conical ball-bearing guide.

The Festool HW S8 D31,4/R6/45° is a specialist roundover and chamfer router cutter designed to produce a beautifully flowing edge profile in a single controlled routing operation. Its carefully engineered geometry forms a 6mm radius that transitions smoothly into a 45° chamfer without leaving an unwanted step between the two profiles. A conical ball-bearing guide follows the workpiece edge and maintains a consistent cutting position, making the cutter ideal for accurately profiling solid wood and suitable wood-based panel materials. Durable carbide cutting edges provide dependable performance and a long service life, while the precision-ground profile delivers clean, repeatable results for furniture, cabinetry and decorative joinery.

A smooth radius-to-chamfer transition in one profile

Unlike a conventional roundover or chamfer cutter, this combination cutter creates a 6mm curve that flows directly into a 45° bevel. The result is an elegant, professionally machined edge without a visible shoulder between the rounded and angled sections.

Product highlights

  • Combination edge profile: Produces a 6mm roundover that transitions smoothly into a 45° chamfer.
  • Clean shoulder-free result: Forms the radius and bevel without leaving an unwanted step between the profiles.
  • Conical ball-bearing guide: Follows the workpiece edge for consistent positioning and controlled routing.
  • Carbide cutting edges: Deliver excellent wear resistance and dependable cutting performance.
  • Professional dimensions: Features a 31.4mm cutter diameter and 18.5mm cutting length.
  • Standard 8mm shank: Fits compatible Festool routers and other suitable routers equipped with an 8mm collet.
  • Complementary profiling: Works particularly well in combination with a matching chamfer cutter for coordinated edge profiles.

Extra Information

  • The cutter requires a compatible router fitted with an 8mm collet and sufficient clearance for its 31.4mm diameter.
  • The conical ball-bearing guide must run against a smooth, clean and uninterrupted reference edge.
  • The final balance between the rounded and chamfered sections depends on the routing-depth setting.
  • Perform a test cut on a matching offcut before routing the finished workpiece.
  • This cutter can be combined with an appropriate chamfer cutter when matching complementary profiles are required.
  • Select the router speed according to the cutter diameter, material and instructions supplied with the router.

Pro Tips

  • Use a test piece to fine-tune the cutter height until the 6mm radius flows cleanly into the 45° chamfer without an unwanted shoulder.
  • Remove larger amounts of material in several shallow passes to reduce tear-out and improve control.
  • Route end grain before long grain so that any breakout at the corner can be removed by the following pass.
  • Keep the guide bearing and reference edge free from resin, dust and chips to maintain a consistent profile.
  • Use a suitable sacrificial backing piece where the cutter exits the workpiece to minimise edge breakout.

How to Use

  • Disconnect the router from the power supply or remove its battery pack before fitting the cutter.
  • Inspect the cutter, carbide edges, shank and guide bearing for damage or contamination.
  • Fit the 8mm shank correctly into a compatible 8mm collet and tighten it securely according to the router instructions.
  • Adjust the cutter height to produce the required balance between the 6mm radius and 45° chamfer.
  • Secure the workpiece firmly and make a test cut on a suitable offcut of the same material.
  • Set an appropriate router speed and start the machine before bringing the cutter into contact with the workpiece.
  • Guide the router against the cutter&s direction of rotation while keeping the bearing in continuous contact with the reference edge.
  • Use smooth, consistent feed pressure and complete the profile in multiple passes if significant material must be removed.
  • Switch off the router and wait for the cutter to stop completely before lifting the machine or making adjustments.

Features

  • Precision-ground profile: Combines a defined 6mm radius with a 45° chamfer angle.
  • Carbide cutting material: Provides durable cutting edges for regular professional woodworking.
  • Bearing-guided operation: Uses the workpiece edge as the routing reference without requiring a separate guide fence for suitable applications.
  • Conical guide bearing: Matches the specialised radius-and-chamfer cutter geometry.
  • 18.5mm cutting length: Provides useful profiling capacity for furniture and joinery components.
  • 60mm overall length: Offers a compact and controlled routing configuration.

Benefits

  • Distinctive decorative edges: Creates an elegant profile that combines a soft curve with a crisp angled section.
  • Consistent routing depth: The ball-bearing guide helps maintain a uniform profile along the workpiece edge.
  • Reduced setup complexity: The combination geometry forms the roundover and chamfer as one continuous profile.
  • Professional finish quality: Precision-ground carbide edges support clean, accurate routing results.
  • Repeatable production: Once the routing depth is set, matching profiles can be produced across multiple workpieces.
  • Long working life: Carbide cutting edges withstand demanding use and abrasive wood-based materials better than standard steel cutters.

Application

  • Creating combined roundover and chamfer profiles.
  • Routing a 6mm radius that transitions into a 45° chamfer.
  • Decorative profiling of furniture edges.
  • Edge finishing on cabinetry and joinery components.
  • Profiling solid timber and suitable wood-based panel materials.
  • Producing coordinated edge profiles with a complementary chamfer cutter.
  • Repeated bearing-guided routing along straight or suitably curved edges.

Safety

  • Wear suitable eye, hearing and respiratory protection while routing.
  • Disconnect the router from its power source before installing, removing or adjusting the cutter.
  • Confirm that the router, collet and base opening are suitable for the cutter&s 8mm shank and 31.4mm diameter.
  • Do not use the cutter if the shank, carbide edges or ball-bearing guide are damaged, loose or excessively worn.
  • Secure the workpiece firmly and keep hands clear of the cutter and routing path.
  • Never start the router while the cutting edges are touching the workpiece.
  • Feed the router against the direction of cutter rotation and avoid uncontrolled climb cutting.
  • Do not exceed the maximum speed marked on the cutter or recommended for its diameter.
  • Allow the cutter to stop completely before putting the router down or inspecting the finished profile.
