Festool WOOD UNIVERSAL HW 216x2,3x30 W36 Saw Blade

At a Glance: Versatile 216 mm, 36-tooth carbide saw blade for controlled cross cuts and rip cuts in wood, wood composites, building boards and soft plastics.

The Festool WOOD UNIVERSAL HW 216x2,3x30 W36 is a professional all-round circular saw blade engineered for the Festool KAPEX KS 60 and KSC 60 sliding compound mitre saws. Its durable carbide teeth, alternating tooth geometry and carefully matched -5° chip angle deliver controlled cutting performance across an extensive range of workshop and installation materials. From solid timber and plywood to MDF, HDF, building boards, gypsum fibreboard and soft plastics, this blade provides an excellent balance between cutting speed, versatility and dependable medium-quality results. Festool&s system-matched dimensions ensure precise installation, smooth operation and reliable performance when tackling everyday rip cuts and high-precision cross cuts.

A versatile WOOD UNIVERSAL blade for everyday professional cutting

With 36 carbide-tipped teeth and an alternating tooth arrangement, this blade cuts cleanly and efficiently across and along the grain. Its broad material capability makes it an outstanding general-purpose choice for workshops, fitment teams, joiners, carpenters and contractors who regularly move between solid wood, sheet materials and soft plastics.

Product Highlights

  • Universal cutting performance: Suitable for rip cuts and cross cuts in solid wood, wood-based panels, building boards and soft plastics.
  • Durable carbide teeth: High-quality carbide cutting edges provide excellent cutting progress, wear resistance and consistent results.
  • 36-tooth configuration: Offers a practical balance between fast material removal and a controlled, medium-quality finish.
  • Alternating tooth design: The W tooth geometry supports efficient cutting in both natural timber and manufactured boards.
  • Controlled cutting action: The -5° chip angle is matched to mitre-saw applications for smooth, manageable feed into the workpiece.
  • Festool system compatibility: Precisely coordinated with the KAPEX KS 60 and cordless KAPEX KSC 60.
  • Easy blade identification: Festool&s yellow colour coding identifies the blade as suitable for wood applications.

Product Compatibility

  • Festool KAPEX KS 60: Designed for use with the KS 60 sliding compound mitre saw.
  • Festool KAPEX KSC 60: Compatible with the KSC 60 cordless sliding compound mitre saw.
  • Blade mounting requirements: Fits the Festool 216 mm blade system with a 30 mm mounting bore.
  • Suitable materials: Solid wood, plywood, multiplex board, MDF, HDF, fibreboard, building panels, gypsum fibreboard and soft plastics.
  • Cutting applications: Suitable for both cross cuts and rip cuts where a versatile medium-quality finish is required.
  • Material limitation: Not intended for steel, aluminium or other metals. Specialist blades should be used for laminate, HPL and demanding hard-plastic applications.
  • Other machines: Do not fit the blade to another saw unless its diameter, bore, kerf, speed rating and manufacturer approval all match.

Extra Information

  • The WOOD UNIVERSAL range is intended as an everyday all-round solution where both productivity and dependable cut quality are important.
  • The blade&s 36-tooth configuration produces a medium-quality finish. Select a finer-tooth Festool blade when the cleanest possible visible edge is required.
  • Festool uses yellow colour coding to identify saw blades intended for wood and wood-based materials.
  • Always confirm that the workpiece material is compatible with the blade before cutting, especially when working with plastics or composite panels.
  • Performance depends on correct installation, a clean mounting flange, secure workpiece support and an appropriate cutting speed.
  • Resin and adhesive residue should be removed regularly to prevent heat build-up and preserve cutting performance.

Pro Tips

  • Use this 36-tooth blade as a versatile daily workshop blade, then change to a fine-tooth blade when cutting delicate veneered surfaces or visible finish components.
  • Allow the saw to reach full operating speed before bringing the blade into contact with the workpiece.
  • Maintain a smooth, steady feed through the material. Forcing the cut can increase heat, splintering and blade deflection.
  • Place the most important visible face according to the saw manufacturer&s recommendations to minimise breakout on the finished surface.
  • Clean accumulated resin from the teeth and blade body periodically to improve cutting efficiency and reduce burning.
  • If cutting effort increases or burn marks appear, stop and inspect the blade for contamination, damage or dull teeth.
  • Support long workpieces on both sides of the cutting area and clamp them securely before starting the cut.
  • Inspect reclaimed timber carefully for nails, screws and other embedded metal before cutting.

How to Use

  • Disconnect the corded saw from the power supply or remove the battery pack from the cordless saw.
  • Place the saw in a secure position and follow its operating manual to engage the spindle or shaft lock.
  • Remove the existing blade and clean the arbor, clamping flange and surrounding mounting surfaces.
  • Inspect the new blade for damaged teeth, cracks, distortion or contamination before installation.
  • Position the blade on the 30 mm arbor with its rotation arrow matching the direction indicated on the saw.
  • Refit the clamping flange and fastener, then tighten them exactly as specified in the machine&s operating instructions.
  • Check that the blade turns freely and that all guards close and operate correctly.
  • Set the required cutting angle, support the workpiece fully and secure it with the appropriate clamp.
  • Connect a suitable Festool dust extractor where required and put on the necessary personal protective equipment.
  • Start the saw, allow it to reach full speed and lower the blade smoothly through the workpiece without forcing it.
  • Complete the cut and wait for the blade to stop fully before raising the saw head or removing offcuts.

Features

  • 216 mm blade diameter: Correctly sized for compatible Festool KAPEX 60-series sliding compound mitre saws.
  • 36 carbide-tipped teeth: Combines dependable cutting speed with a controlled general-purpose finish.
  • Alternating W tooth geometry: Produces effective cutting action across a broad selection of wood and panel materials.
  • 2.30 mm cutting width: Provides a stable kerf for accurate and controlled mitre-saw cutting.
  • 30 mm mounting bore: Enables precise mounting on the compatible Festool saw arbor.
  • -5° chip angle: Supports controlled workpiece engagement in cross-cutting and mitre-saw applications.
  • 1.60 mm blade body: Combines blade stability with efficient cutting performance.

Safety

  • Wear suitable eye, ear and dust protection whenever operating the saw.
  • Disconnect the saw from its power source or remove the battery before fitting, removing, cleaning or inspecting the blade.
  • Only use the blade with a compatible saw and never exceed the maximum rotational speed marked on the blade.
  • Confirm that the blade rotation arrow matches the direction of rotation shown on the machine.
  • Never use a blade that is cracked, warped, missing teeth or otherwise damaged.
  • Keep all guards fitted and confirm that they move and close correctly before operating the saw.
  • Clamp and support the workpiece securely, particularly when cutting long, narrow or irregular components.
  • Keep hands outside the machine&s designated hazard area and away from the path of the blade.
  • Inspect used or reclaimed timber for nails, screws and other foreign objects before cutting.
