Festool HW-WP R1 D28 KL12,7 OFK Carbide Reversible Replacement Cutters

At a Glance: Highly precise carbide reversible replacement cutters with a 1 mm radius for Festool reversible-blade roundover cutter 499811, offering four usable cutting positions per blade and maintaining the cutter's original 28 mm diameter without resharpening.

Restore the crisp, accurate cutting performance of your Festool reversible-blade roundover cutter with the HW-WP R1 D28 KL12,7 OFK replacement cutter set. These precision-manufactured carbide reversible blades are specifically designed for Festool roundover cutter 499811 and reproduce its subtle 1 mm radius profile for clean, controlled rounding of wooden and suitable plastic edges. The clever reversible-blade system eliminates the need for conventional resharpening: when one cutting position becomes worn, the carbide blade can simply be indexed to provide a fresh sharp cutting edge. Festool specifies that each reversible blade can be used four times, providing excellent working life from every replacement blade. Just as importantly, replacing rather than resharpening the cutters preserves the router bit's original cutting diameter, helping maintain consistent dimensions and repeatable routing results throughout its service life. Supplied as a two-piece blade set with replacement screws and the appropriate TX key, this is the professional maintenance solution for keeping your Festool 499811 roundover cutter cutting cleanly and accurately.

Reversible carbide blades – precision without resharpening

Traditional router cutters gradually become smaller as their cutting edges are repeatedly resharpened. The Festool reversible-blade system takes a different approach. When a cutting position becomes blunt, the blade is indexed to a fresh cutting position and, once all usable positions have been consumed, the blade is replaced. This maintains the original cutter geometry and diameter while providing consistently sharp carbide cutting edges.

Benefits

Always a sharp cutting edge available: When one cutting position becomes worn, the blade can be indexed to expose a fresh carbide edge.
No cutter resharpening required: The reversible-blade concept eliminates the normal sharpening cycle associated with conventional fixed-edge router cutters.
Maintains routing dimensions: Because the cutting edges are replaced rather than ground smaller, the cutter diameter remains consistent.
Reliable repeatability: Constant cutter geometry is particularly useful when producing matching components or returning to an established routing setup.
Long service life: Hard carbide material combined with multiple usable cutting positions provides excellent value from each blade.
Reduced cutter replacement cost: The precision cutter body can remain in service while only the worn cutting inserts are replaced.
Clean finished edges: Sharp replacement blades help restore the smooth routing quality expected from the compatible Festool cutter.

Extra Information

What does R1 mean? R1 identifies the finished roundover radius produced by the compatible cutter: 1.00 mm. This creates a very subtle rounding that removes the harshness of a sharp edge while retaining a crisp overall appearance.
What does D28 mean? D28 refers to the 28 mm cutting diameter of the complete compatible roundover cutter system.
What does KL12,7 indicate? The designation relates to the 12.7 mm guide ball bearing used by the compatible cutter system.
What does HW mean? HW is Festool's designation for carbide cutting material. Carbide offers significantly greater wear resistance than conventional high-speed steel for many woodworking routing applications.
What does WP mean? WP identifies the reversible or replaceable cutter-blade system used on this Festool routing accessory.
Why are reversible blades useful? Rather than sharpening a fixed cutting edge repeatedly, the insert can be indexed to an unused cutting position. This restores sharp cutting performance quickly without altering the cutter body's geometry.
Four usable positions: Festool specifies that these reversible carbide blades can be used four times. Always reposition both blades correctly and consistently according to the cutter instructions.
Why constant diameter matters: Resharpening a conventional router cutter gradually changes its dimensions. Replacement inserts allow the compatible Festool cutter to retain its nominal 28 mm diameter, helping maintain repeatable routing results.
No sharpening downtime: When all cutting positions have been used, simply install fresh genuine replacement blades instead of sending the cutter away for sharpening.
Use as a matched set: Replacing the cutting blades together helps maintain consistent cutting geometry and balanced operation of the cutter.

R1 – subtle edge softening rather than a heavy roundover

A 1 mm radius is intentionally small. It gently breaks the sharp corner of a machined edge while preserving the visual character of a square-edged component. This makes the R1 profile especially useful for fine furniture, cabinetry and interior joinery where a comfortable, durable edge is required without the obvious curved profile produced by larger-radius cutters.

Pro Tips

Before replacing a blade, inspect whether an unused cutting position is still available. Festool specifies four usable positions from each reversible cutter.
When indexing reversible blades, keep both blades in corresponding positions so the cutter geometry remains consistent.
Replace both cutters as a matched pair once their usable cutting positions have been exhausted.
Clean the cutter seats thoroughly before installing the blades. Even a tiny chip trapped beneath an insert can affect its seating and cutting accuracy.
Do not place the carbide blades on a dirty metal bench where their precision cutting edges can be chipped before installation.
Use only the correct supplied or specified TX key and fastening screws when servicing the cutter.
Check that every blade is seated completely against its locating surfaces before tightening the fixing screw.
Do not overtighten or improvise blade-fastening hardware. Follow the Festool cutter instructions for correct installation.
If routing quality suddenly deteriorates, inspect the carbide edges for chips as well as general wear. Carbide can remain sharp for a long time but may be damaged by hidden metal or other hard contaminants in the workpiece.
For the cleanest R1 edge, route at a steady feed rate and avoid pausing in one position, which can create burn marks or localised profile changes.
Make a test cut after changing or indexing the blades before routing an important finished component.
Keep spare replacement cutters in their protective packaging until required so the precision carbide edges remain protected.

How to Replace the Reversible Cutters

Disconnect the router from its mains supply or remove the battery before handling the cutter.
Remove the compatible Festool roundover cutter from the router according to the machine operating instructions.
Clean the cutter body so that dust and resin cannot enter the blade seating areas during servicing.
Using the correct TX key, carefully loosen the blade fixing screws.
Remove the reversible carbide blades and inspect their cutting positions for wear or damage.
If unused cutting positions remain, index the blades to the next sharp position according to Festool's instructions. If all positions are worn, fit the new replacement cutters.
Clean the blade seats and make sure no chips, resin or debris remain beneath the inserts.
Position both carbide cutters correctly against their locating surfaces.
Install the correct fixing screws and tighten them securely using the specified TX key and Festool procedure.
Check that both inserts are seated evenly and cannot move.
Reinstall the complete cutter in the compatible router and secure it according to the router operating instructions.
Rotate the cutter manually while the machine is disconnected to confirm that nothing interferes with its movement.
Make a test cut in scrap material and inspect the R1 profile before routing a finished workpiece.

Safety

Always disconnect the router from its power supply before removing the cutter or servicing the reversible blades.
Wear suitable eye and hand protection when handling carbide routing cutters and sharp replacement blades.
Carbide cutting edges are extremely sharp and can cause serious cuts even when the router is not running.
Use the replacement cutters only with Festool roundover cutter 499811 for which they are specified.
Do not install chipped, cracked or otherwise damaged carbide blades.
Clean the insert seats thoroughly before fitting or indexing the blades. Foreign material beneath a blade can prevent correct seating.
Make sure both reversible cutters are positioned correctly and securely fastened before installing the cutter in the router.
Use only suitable original or approved fixing screws and the correct TX tool.
Never operate the router if a blade or fixing screw is loose.
Do not attempt to reshape or manually resharpen the reversible carbide cutters.
Inspect the complete router cutter, guide bearing and fixing hardware before every use.
Ensure that the cutter is correctly clamped in the router collet according to the machine manufacturer's requirements.
Observe the maximum permitted rotational speed of the complete router cutter.
Secure the workpiece properly and keep hands clear of the cutter path during routing.
Use suitable dust extraction and respiratory protection when routing wood, plastics or materials that generate harmful dust.
Allow the router cutter to stop completely before making adjustments or setting the machine down.
Read and follow the Festool router, cutter and reversible-blade safety instructions before use.
