Product description
Festool HSB 100/Bi/OSC 100mm Bimetal Wood Saw Blade
At a Glance: Robust 100 mm Starlock Plus circular oscillating saw blade for the Festool OSC 18, designed for long, straight cuts and precise cut-outs in parquet, laminate flooring, coated wood, wood fibre materials and solid wood. The blade is toothed around its circumference, manufactured from high-quality bimetal and supplied with an adjustable grip protector for safer handling.
The Festool HSB 100/Bi/OSC is a specialised 100 mm circular saw blade for the OSC 18 oscillating multi-tool. Unlike narrow plunge-cut blades, this blade is toothed around its circumference and is designed primarily for making long, controlled straight cuts in wood and wood-based materials. It is particularly useful when cutting openings in already-installed parquet or laminate flooring, where the large 100 mm blade diameter provides efficient forward progress and excellent control along longer cutting lines. High-quality bimetal construction provides the durability needed for demanding professional use, while the adjustable grip protector covers the unused section of the toothed blade to help reduce the risk of accidental contact. Festool particularly recommends using the HSB 100/Bi/OSC together with the OSC 18 depth stop and sliding shoe, creating a coordinated system for controlled cutting depth and precise work close to the surface.
Although the HSB 100/Bi/OSC is circular in shape, it does not rotate like a conventional circular-saw blade. Mounted on the OSC 18, it moves through the tool's small oscillating angle. The continuous toothed edge makes it especially effective for long, straight cuts where a narrow plunge blade would require more repositioning.

Extra Info
Extra Information
- What does HSB mean? HSB identifies the Festool wood saw blade family for oscillating multi-tools.
- What does 100 mean? The circular saw blade has a nominal diameter of 100 mm.
- What does Bi mean? Bi identifies the blade's bimetal construction, chosen for increased toughness and long service life.
- What does OSC mean? OSC identifies the Festool oscillating-tool application. Festool specifies this blade for the OSC 18.
- What is Starlock Plus? Starlock Plus is the blade's performance and mounting class, providing a secure connection and efficient transfer of oscillating power from the machine to the accessory.
- Does the blade rotate? No. Although circular in shape, the blade operates using the OSC 18's oscillating movement rather than continuous rotary motion.
- Why is the blade toothed all around? The circumferential tooth arrangement provides a long cutting edge and makes the blade particularly effective for extended straight cuts.
- What is the grip protector? The adjustable protector shields the section of the toothed blade not required for the current cut, reducing unnecessary exposure of the cutting edge.
- Why use the depth stop? The depth stop helps control how deeply the blade enters the workpiece, which is especially valuable when cutting installed flooring where material beneath the surface must not be damaged.
- Why use the sliding shoe? The sliding shoe supports controlled movement over the workpiece surface and works particularly well with the depth stop during longer flooring cuts.
Removing or modifying an installed floor often requires a long, controlled cut through only the flooring layer. The HSB 100/Bi/OSC combines a large circumferential cutting edge with the option of a Festool depth stop and sliding shoe, making it possible to guide the OSC 18 steadily along the marked line while controlling cutting depth.
Bimetal blade construction combines materials with complementary properties so the blade can retain a durable cutting edge while remaining sufficiently tough for the repeated oscillating loads generated by a multi-tool. Festool uses this construction to give the HSB 100/Bi/OSC a long service life in professional wood applications.
The Starlock Plus interface creates a secure mechanical connection between the blade and OSC 18. Efficient transfer of the machine's oscillating movement helps the blade cut accurately while the tool-free interface allows quick blade fitting and repositioning.
Pro Tips
- For flooring cut-outs, use the Festool depth stop whenever material beneath the floor must remain untouched.
- Combine the depth stop with the sliding shoe to guide the tool smoothly along longer marked cuts.
- Set the adjustable grip protector so only the section of blade required for the cut remains exposed.
- Mark the complete cut line clearly before starting, particularly when creating rectangular openings in installed flooring.
- Allow the oscillating blade to cut at its natural rate rather than applying excessive forward force.
- Use smooth, steady movement to achieve the straightest possible cut.
- Keep the blade perpendicular to the intended cutting direction to reduce unnecessary side loading.
- Support loose workpieces securely before cutting.
- Inspect the Starlock Plus mounting surfaces and keep them free from compacted dust and debris.
- Reposition the blade or tool rather than forcing the blade sideways around a tight change of direction.
- Replace the blade when cutting progress slows significantly or the tooth edge becomes badly worn.
- Make a test cut when working with unfamiliar laminated or coated materials.
How to Use
- Confirm that the material is suitable for the HSB 100/Bi/OSC wood blade.
- Remove the battery from the OSC 18 before fitting or adjusting the blade.
- Inspect the Starlock Plus mounting area and remove any dust or debris.
- Install the HSB 100/Bi/OSC according to the OSC 18 accessory-changing instructions.
- Adjust the blade orientation to suit the direction of the planned cut.
- Position the grip protector so unnecessary sections of the toothed circumference remain covered.
- Fit the depth stop and sliding shoe where controlled-depth cutting is required.
- Set the required cutting depth carefully before beginning work.
- Mark the cutting line clearly on the workpiece or flooring.
- Secure loose workpieces where applicable.
- Reinstall the battery and select an appropriate oscillation speed.
- Start the OSC 18 and bring the toothed edge into controlled contact with the material.
- Guide the blade along the marked line using smooth, moderate forward pressure.
- Allow the sliding shoe to remain stable against the surface when it is being used.
- Complete the cut without twisting the blade sideways.
- Allow the blade to stop completely before placing the tool down or making further adjustments.
Safety
Safety
- Wear suitable eye protection whenever operating an oscillating multi-tool.
- Use hearing protection where required by the machine and working environment.
- Use appropriate dust extraction and respiratory protection when cutting wood and wood fibre materials.
- Remove the battery from the OSC 18 before fitting, repositioning or removing the blade.
- Make sure the blade is fully seated and securely locked before starting the machine.
- Adjust the grip protector to cover the unused toothed section of the blade.
- Keep hands clear of the complete toothed circumference while the machine is operating.
- Secure loose or movable workpieces before cutting.
- Check the cutting area for concealed electrical cables, plumbing and other hazards.
- When cutting installed flooring, confirm what lies beneath the flooring before setting the cutting depth.
- Use the depth stop where accidental cutting into the underlying structure must be prevented.
- Do not force the blade sideways or attempt excessively tight curves with the 100 mm circular blade.
- Be aware that the blade can become hot during prolonged use; allow it to cool before handling.
- Inspect the blade before use and replace it if cracked, badly damaged or excessively worn.
- Follow the Festool OSC 18 and accessory operating and safety instructions at all times.
