Product
The Festool HW 82 is a tungsten carbide planer blade designed for use with the Festool HLC 82 planer. It delivers clean, precise planing results on softwood and hardwood surfaces, sold individually per piece.
Specifications
- Made from HW (tungsten carbide) material for extended edge retention and consistent cutting performance compared to standard steel blades
- Blade width of 82 mm, matching the full planing width of the HLC 82 planer
- Reversible design allowing the blade to be flipped for a fresh cutting edge before replacement is needed
- Precision-ground cutting edge ensures smooth surface finish with minimal tear-out
- Engineered by Festool to meet exact tolerances for seamless compatibility with the HLC 82 planer system
Usage
Remove the existing blade from the HLC 82 planer drum using the appropriate tool. Insert the HW 82 blade into the blade holder, ensuring it is properly seated and aligned. Secure the blade firmly according to the planer's instructions. When one side becomes dull, reverse the blade to use the second cutting edge before replacing it entirely.
FAQ
- Is this blade compatible with other Festool planers? This blade is specifically designed for the Festool HLC 82 planer. Always verify compatibility with your specific planer model before purchasing.
- What material is the blade made from? The HW 82 blade is made from tungsten carbide (HW), which provides significantly longer service life and better edge retention than standard high-speed steel blades.
- Can the blade be resharpened? While tungsten carbide blades can technically be resharpened by a professional sharpening service, the reversible design means you get two fresh cutting edges per blade, which often makes replacement more practical.
- How do I know when the blade needs replacing? Signs include visible burn marks on the workpiece, increased resistance during planing, rough or ridged surface finish, and excessive noise during operation.
- Is this sold as a single blade or a pair? This product is sold as a single piece (per piece). Depending on your planer configuration, you may need to purchase the appropriate number of blades to equip the planer drum fully.
