Festool HW-WP 30x12x1,5 (4x) Carbide Reversible Blade Set 30x12x1.5mm

At a Glance: Set of four precision carbide two-sided reversible blades measuring 30 x 12 x 1.5 mm, complete with four replacement oval-head screws and a T15 TX spanner for compatible Festool reversible-blade cutters.

Restore the cutting performance of your compatible Festool reversible-blade router cutter with the Festool HW-WP 30x12x1,5 (4x) replacement blade set. These precision-manufactured carbide reversible blades are designed for demanding routing applications where consistent cutter dimensions, clean results and long service life are essential. Rather than repeatedly resharpening a conventional cutter, the Festool reversible-blade system allows a worn cutting edge to be turned to the unused side or the blade to be replaced completely. This keeps the cutter ready for accurate work while preserving its original cutting diameter. The set contains four 30 x 12 x 1.5 mm reversible blades, four matching oval-head screws and the correct T15 TX spanner, giving you the components required for straightforward blade replacement on compatible Festool cutters 492716, 492717 and 491120.

Precision carbide blades with the advantage of the Festool reversible-blade system

Reversible-blade cutters are particularly valuable where repeatable routing dimensions matter. Because the cutting inserts are replaced rather than progressively reduced in size through resharpening, the geometry and effective diameter of the cutter remain consistent. The two-sided carbide blades also provide a second usable cutting edge, allowing the blade to be reversed when the first edge becomes worn before complete replacement is required.

Product highlights

Precision carbide construction: High-quality carbide provides excellent wear resistance and a long service life in demanding routing work.
Two-sided reversible design: Each blade provides two cutting edges, allowing it to be turned when one edge becomes worn.
Four replacement blades: Supplied as a complete set of four 30 x 12 x 1.5 mm reversible blades.
Consistent cutter diameter: Replacing the inserts rather than resharpening the cutter helps maintain the cutter&s original working diameter.
No resharpening required: Worn inserts can simply be reversed or replaced, helping keep the cutter ready for work.
Easy blade replacement: A T15 TX spanner is supplied for convenient removal and installation of the blade screws.
New mounting screws included: Four oval-head screws are supplied together with the blades.
Made for specific Festool cutters: Designed for Festool cutter order numbers 492716, 492717 and 491120.

Product Compatibility

Festool 492716 - HW D16/30 S8: Groove cutter with reversible blades, Ø16 mm with 30 mm cutting length and 8 mm shank.
Festool 492717 - HW D18/30 S8: Groove cutter with reversible blades, Ø18 mm with 30 mm cutting length and 8 mm shank.
Festool 491120 - HW S12 D21/30WM: Edge-trimming cutter with reversible blades, Ø21 mm with 30 mm cutting length and 12 mm shank.

Check the cutter order number before ordering

The HW-WP 30x12x1,5 blades are specifically listed by Festool for cutter order numbers 492716, 492717 and 491120. Reversible blades can look very similar while differing in dimensions, thickness or mounting arrangement, so always confirm the Festool cutter number before ordering replacement inserts.

Features

30 x 12 x 1.5 mm blade size: Precision dimensions engineered for the specified Festool reversible-blade cutters.
Carbide cutting material: Hard-wearing carbide provides durable cutting edges and extended service life.
Two-sided blade: The reversible construction allows both cutting edges of each insert to be utilised.
Four-piece blade set: Provides four replacement main cutting inserts.
Replacement screws included: Four oval-head screws are supplied with the set.
T15 TX tool included: The correct Torx spanner is included for convenient blade servicing.
Replaceable cutting system: Designed for Festool cutters using removable carbide inserts rather than permanently brazed cutting edges.
Original cutter geometry retained: Insert replacement helps maintain consistent cutter dimensions over its service life.

Benefits

Long service life: The precision carbide inserts withstand demanding routing work considerably better than softer cutting materials.
Two cutting edges per blade: When the first edge becomes blunt, the blade can be reversed to expose the second cutting edge.
Reduced downtime: There is no need to send the complete cutter away for conventional resharpening when an insert becomes worn.
Repeatable routing dimensions: Replacing the blade with an insert of the original dimensions helps preserve the designed cutter diameter.
Convenient servicing: Replacement screws and the T15 TX spanner are supplied together with the blades.
Cost-effective cutter maintenance: The cutter body can remain in service while only the worn cutting inserts are replaced.
Reliable professional results: Sharp replacement cutting edges help restore clean, controlled routing performance.

What is a reversible router blade?

A reversible blade is a precision cutting insert with usable cutting edges on more than one side. When the active edge becomes worn, the insert can be removed and turned so that a fresh edge is brought into the cutting position. Once the available cutting edges have been used, the insert is replaced with a new blade of the same dimensions.

Why carbide?

Carbide combines high hardness with excellent resistance to abrasive wear, making it particularly well suited to router tooling. In a replaceable insert system, the durable carbide edge provides reliable cutting performance while the main cutter body remains in service.

Why does the cutter diameter remain constant?

Traditional cutters may gradually change in diameter as material is removed from their cutting edges during repeated sharpening. With a reversible-blade cutter, the worn insert is replaced with another precision insert of the original dimensions. This helps maintain the designed cutter geometry and is particularly valuable for work involving templates, guides or repeatable routing dimensions.

Main blade versus pre-cutter

The HW-WP 30x12x1,5 is the main 30 mm reversible cutting blade for the specified cutters. Some compatible cutter designs also use separate smaller pre-cutters. Always identify which insert requires replacement and order the correct Festool blade type for that position.

Pro Tips

Before replacing a blade, note its original orientation so the replacement can be installed in the correct cutting position.
When one edge becomes worn, inspect the opposite cutting edge before purchasing a replacement blade; it may still provide a fresh usable edge.
Thoroughly clean the blade seat before fitting an insert. Dust, resin or chips trapped underneath the blade can prevent it from seating accurately.
Use the supplied T15 TX spanner and ensure the mounting screw is securely tightened before operating the router.
Inspect the mounting screw whenever a blade is changed and replace damaged or worn screws rather than reusing questionable fasteners.
For the most consistent cutting performance, make sure all active cutting inserts fitted to the cutter are correctly positioned and in good condition.

How to Use

Disconnect the router from the power supply or remove its battery before handling the cutter.
Remove the router cutter from the machine if required for safe and convenient servicing.
Use the supplied T15 TX spanner to carefully loosen and remove the screw securing the reversible blade.
Remove the blade while noting its position and orientation in the cutter body.
If the opposite cutting edge is unused and undamaged, reverse the blade to bring the fresh edge into the cutting position. If both edges are worn, fit a new blade.
Clean the blade seat carefully and ensure no chips, resin or other contamination remain underneath the insert.
Position the reversible blade correctly against the locating surfaces of the cutter body.
Install the appropriate oval-head screw and tighten it securely using the T15 TX spanner.
Check that the blade is seated flat and correctly located before returning the cutter to service.
Repeat the procedure for any additional inserts that require reversing or replacement, then inspect the complete cutter before reinstalling it in the router.
