Festool HW 160x2,2x20 TF52 Aluminium and Plastics Saw Blade

At a Glance: 160mm fine-grain carbide saw blade with 52 trapezoidal/flat teeth for clean, durable cutting performance in aluminium, non-ferrous metals and plastics.

The Festool HW 160x2,2x20 TF52 is a premium circular saw blade engineered for accurate, clean and efficient cutting of aluminium panels, aluminium profiles, non-ferrous metals and demanding plastic-based materials. Its application-specific tooth geometry combines trapezoidal and flat teeth to produce a controlled cutting action with an excellent finish. Manufactured with high-quality fine-grain carbide teeth, this professional blade delivers dependable cutting progress, outstanding durability and an impressively long service life. The blade is precisely matched to compatible Festool saws, making it an excellent choice for fabricators, installers, joiners and workshop professionals working with aluminium composite panels, acrylic glass, PVC and fibre-reinforced plastics.

Purpose-designed for aluminium and plastics

The TF trapezoidal/flat tooth configuration and negative chip angle are specially adapted to non-ferrous metals and plastic-based materials. This combination promotes controlled cutting, protects the material surface and helps produce consistently precise results.

Product highlights

Application-specific tooth geometry: Trapezoidal and flat teeth provide controlled, clean cutting in aluminium, plastics and non-ferrous metals.
Fine-grain carbide teeth: High-quality carbide provides excellent wear resistance and a long working life.
Professional cutting quality: Designed to deliver accurate cuts with a clean finish across a wide variety of specialised materials.
Optimised cutting action: The tooth shape and cutting angle are matched to the intended materials and compatible Festool saws.
Easy blade identification: Festool colour coding helps users quickly select the correct blade for the application.
Broad material capability: Suitable for aluminium composite panels, profiles, acrylic glass, PVC, copper, brass and reinforced plastics.

Features

160mm blade diameter: Precisely sized for compatible Festool 55-series circular and plunge-cut saws.
52 carbide-tipped teeth: Provides a refined cutting action and a high-quality finished edge.
TF tooth shape: Alternating trapezoidal and flat teeth are optimised for aluminium, non-ferrous metals and plastics.
Negative chip angle: The -5° tooth angle promotes a stable and controlled feed through harder materials.
2.20mm cutting width: Provides a dependable kerf for accurate professional cutting.
20mm mounting bore: Designed for secure and accurate fitment to the specified Festool saws.

Benefits

Cleaner finished edges: The specialised TF tooth arrangement helps reduce rough or chipped edges on compatible materials.
Long service life: Fine-grain carbide teeth offer excellent resistance to wear during demanding professional use.
Controlled cutting: The negative chip angle provides a smooth, stable cutting action through aluminium and plastics.
Reliable system compatibility: The blade dimensions and geometry are precisely matched to compatible Festool saws.
Versatile workshop performance: One specialised blade can handle a broad selection of non-ferrous metals, sheet products and engineered plastics.

Application

Cutting aluminium panels and profiles.
Machining aluminium composite panels.
Cutting non-ferrous metals such as copper and brass.
Cutting twin-wall and multiwall sheeting.
Cutting acrylic glass and Perspex.
Cutting PVC and other plastic-based materials.
Machining phenolic-resin-bonded fibres and fabrics.
Cutting hard and fibre-reinforced plastics.

Extra Information

Designed for use with Festool TS 55, TSC 55, ATF 55 and AP 55 saws.
Always confirm the saw model, blade diameter, bore size and permitted rotational speed before installation.
The TF designation identifies a trapezoidal/flat tooth arrangement developed for aluminium, plastics and similar specialised materials.
Festool colour coding helps distinguish this blade from blades intended for other material groups.
This blade is intended for suitable non-ferrous metals and must not be used for cutting steel or ferrous metals.

Pro Tips

Support thin sheets and profiles securely on both sides of the cut to minimise vibration and improve edge quality.
Use a controlled, consistent feed rate and allow the carbide teeth to perform the cut without forcing the saw.
Protect delicate finished surfaces with suitable masking tape where appropriate and perform a test cut on an offcut before cutting the final workpiece.
Keep the blade clean and free from aluminium or resin build-up, as deposits can increase heat and reduce cutting quality.
For the best results, select the correct machine speed and cutting procedure for the particular material being processed.

How to Use

Disconnect the saw from the power supply or remove its battery pack before fitting or replacing the blade.
Confirm that the blade diameter, 20mm bore and maximum permitted speed are suitable for the saw.
Install the blade with its direction-of-rotation arrow matching the rotation indicated on the saw.
Secure the blade using the machine&s original flange and fastening components according to the saw operating instructions.
Support and clamp the workpiece securely, ensuring that the blade path is clear beneath the material.
Set the cutting depth so that the blade projects only as far as necessary beneath the workpiece.
Allow the saw to reach the selected operating speed before entering the material, then guide it through the cut with steady pressure.
Wait for the blade to stop completely before lifting the saw, removing offcuts or inspecting the finished cut.
