Festool HW 216x2,3x30 W48 Wood Fine Cut Saw Blade 216mm 48T

At a Glance: Professional 216 mm, 48-tooth carbide saw blade for clean, virtually splinter-free cross cuts in solid wood, coated and veneered strips.

Achieve beautifully clean and precise cuts with the Festool HW 216x2,3x30 W48 WOOD FINE CUT saw blade. Developed specifically for the Festool SYM 70 and SYMC 70, this professional 48-tooth blade is perfectly suited to fine cross-cutting work in solid wood strips, decorative profiles, coated mouldings and veneered materials. Its cutting angle, tooth geometry and reduced 2.3 mm cutting width are carefully matched to the machine and application, delivering efficient cutting progress with minimal material damage. High-quality carbide teeth provide excellent durability and maintain consistent cutting quality throughout the blade’s service life, making this an outstanding choice for joinery, interior finishing, flooring and trim installation.

Fine cutting quality for precision strips and profiles

The WOOD FINE CUT blade is designed for applications where an accurate fit and an exceptionally clean visible edge are essential. Its 48-tooth geometry produces smooth cross cuts with minimal splintering in both natural and finished wood products, helping reduce additional sanding, edge repair and reworking.

Product Highlights

Fine-cut performance: Produces clean and virtually splinter-free cross cuts in strips and profiles.
48-tooth configuration: The high tooth count creates a smooth cut face suitable for visible finishing work.
Premium carbide teeth: High-quality carbide delivers dependable cutting progress and a long service life.
Application-matched geometry: The tooth shape and cutting angle are coordinated with the Festool SYM 70 and SYMC 70.
Reduced cutting width: The 2.3 mm kerf supports fast, efficient cutting with reduced material removal.
Versatile woodworking: Suitable for solid wood, coated mouldings, veneered strips and decorative profiles.
Easy blade identification: Festool’s yellow colour coding identifies the blade as a woodworking accessory.

Extra Information

Designed specifically for the Festool SYM 70 and SYMC 70 symmetrical mitre saws.
The WOOD FINE CUT blade is intended primarily for fine cross-cutting rather than rapid longitudinal ripping.
Festool uses yellow colour coding to identify saw blades developed for wood applications.
The combination of machine, blade and suitable material is essential for achieving the best cutting result.
For coated or veneered materials, make a test cut on an offcut to confirm the correct machine setup and cutting quality.
Keep the blade clean and correctly sharpened to maintain accurate, low-splinter cutting performance.
Only use the blade with machines that accept a 216 mm blade, 30 mm arbor and the specified cutting width.

Pro Tips

Allow the saw blade to reach full operating speed before gently entering the workpiece.
Use a steady, controlled feed rate and avoid forcing the blade through coated or veneered materials.
Support long or narrow mouldings securely on both sides of the cutting area to prevent movement and chipping.
Position the visible face of the material according to the saw manufacturer’s recommendations for the cleanest finished edge.
Clean accumulated resin and adhesive from the blade using a suitable saw-blade cleaner to prevent heat build-up.
Replace or professionally sharpen the blade when increased cutting force, burning or excessive splintering becomes noticeable.
Store the blade in protective packaging or a suitable blade holder to prevent tooth damage between applications.

How to Use

Disconnect the saw from its electrical supply or remove the battery before changing the saw blade.
Confirm that the machine is compatible with a 216 mm blade, 30 mm arbor and 2.3 mm cutting width.
Follow the machine instructions to engage the spindle lock and remove the blade-retaining flange and existing blade.
Clean the arbor, mounting flanges and surrounding blade area before installing the replacement blade.
Fit the HW 216x2,3x30 W48 blade with its rotation arrow matching the direction indicated on the saw.
Reinstall and tighten the retaining components according to the machine operating instructions.
Check that the blade is seated correctly, rotates freely and does not contact the guard or machine housing.
Restore all guards and reconnect the power supply only after the blade installation has been completed.
Secure the workpiece, perform a test cut and inspect the result before cutting the finished material.
