Use the ø12.7 mm bearing for a classic 15 mm edge radius or the smaller ø9.5 mm bearing to create a decorative round-edge profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp itemprop=\"description\"\u003eThe Festool HW S8 D42,7\/R15 KL is a versatile professional roundover cutter designed for profiling solid wood and panel materials with a clean, consistent 15 mm radius. Its two precision carbide cutting edges provide excellent durability and smooth cutting performance, while the integrated ball-bearing guidance allows the cutter to follow straight or curved workpiece edges without requiring a separate guide fence. Festool has made this cutter particularly flexible by allowing the guide bearing to be changed: with the ø12.7 mm ball bearing it produces a conventional rounded edge, while fitting the smaller ø9.5 mm bearing changes the cutting relationship and allows a decorative round-edge or bead-style profile to be routed. The bearing is retained by a screw for quick and straightforward replacement. With its 8 mm shank, 42.7 mm cutting diameter, 22 mm cutting length and 62 mm overall length, the cutter is suitable for Festool OF 900, OF 1000, OF 1010, OF 1010 R, OF 1400, OF 2000 and OF 2200 routers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eOne cutter, more than one edge profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe guide bearing determines how deeply the cutter enters the edge of the workpiece. With the standard ø12.7 mm bearing, the HW S8 D42,7\/R15 KL produces its conventional R15 rounded profile. Changing to the smaller ø9.5 mm guide bearing allows the cutter to engage farther into the workpiece, creating a more decorative round-edge profile. This makes one cutter considerably more versatile than a fixed-profile roundover bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-highlights\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cul\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15 mm rounding radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e Produces a generous R15 profile suitable for furniture, joinery, shelving and substantial timber edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e42.7 mm cutter diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large profile cutter designed specifically around the 15 mm radius geometry.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo carbide cutting edges:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality carbide provides excellent wear resistance and a long professional service life.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall-bearing guided:\u003c\/strong\u003e The cutter follows the workpiece edge directly without needing a separate side fence for suitable applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eø12.7 mm bearing for rounding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creates the conventional smooth R15 roundover profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eø9.5 mm bearing for decorative profiling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows the cutter to produce a deeper round-edge or bead-style decorative profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuick bearing replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e The guide bearing is secured by a screw for fast, efficient changing.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 mm shank:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with the appropriate 8 mm collet in a wide range of Festool routers.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e22 mm cutting length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides ample working height for profiling substantial workpiece edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for curved work:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bearing guidance enables the cutter to follow both straight and shaped workpiece edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid wood and panel materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Festool specifies the cutter for profiling both natural timber and suitable board products.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-compatibility\"\u003e\r\n  \u003ch3\u003eProduct Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cul class=\"sideline-bullet\"\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFestool OF 900\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFestool OF 1000\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFestool OF 1010\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFestool OF 1010 R\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFestool OF 1400\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFestool OF 2000\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFestool OF 2200\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n  \u003cp class=\"info-products\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The cutter has an \u003cstrong\u003e8 mm shank\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Replacing it with the smaller ø9.5 mm bearing allows more of the cutter to enter the timber, extending the profile beyond a simple quarter-round and creating a decorative bead-like edge. This ability to change the finished appearance simply by changing the bearing is one of the strongest features of this Festool cutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eWhy carbide matters on a large profile cutter\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eA 42.7 mm profile cutter removes significantly more material than a small edge bit.
