Dovetail Cutter HW S8 D13.8/NL13.5/A15

Functions

A carbide (HW) dovetail cutter sized 13.8mm diameter, 13.5mm cutting length, 15-degree dovetail angle, with an 8mm shank. Designed for cutting semi-covered (half-blind) dovetail joints — the joint geometry where the dovetail shows on one face but is concealed from the other, used in traditional drawer fronts and concealed joinery. Use this cutter with a Festool router and a compatible dovetail jig for the joinery work it is built for: traditional drawer construction where the dovetail shows on the side but the front face is clean; chest and case construction with concealed joinery; high-quality furniture work where the joint is structural but the front face must be unbroken. The 15-degree angle suits the proportions of finer, smaller-scale semi-covered dovetails. A genuine Festool carbide cutter, manufactured to the precise tolerances dovetail joinery demands. Furniture makers, cabinetmakers and joiners who build traditional drawer fronts and concealed-joinery furniture choose the genuine Festool cutters because semi-covered dovetails depend on exact geometry — the cut has to fit cleanly without hand-paring, and that depends on the cutter being exactly to spec.
