Festool HW R4-OFK 500 Carbide Roundover Cutter — 4mm Radius

At a Glance: 4mm radius roundover cutter with a 27mm diameter and two carbide cutting edges. Fits Festool OFK 500 and OFKC 500 edge routers. Guide bearing is not included.

Give timber and edging a smooth, professionally rounded finish with the Festool HW R4-OFK 500. Designed for rounding solid wood and plastic edging, this cutter creates a 4mm radius that softens sharp corners and adds an attractive finishing detail. Its special hollow-shaft construction mounts directly onto the router spindle, supporting high running accuracy and a clean cutting pattern. Two carbide cutting edges provide durable cutting performance, while the profile incorporates a protective 5° run-out at the radius transition.

Precision from the spindle to the edge

This cutter forms part of Festool&s dedicated OFK 500 cutter system. Its direct spindle mounting provides a precise connection, while the low-profile arrangement with the matching guide bearing allows access when routing in rebates or working from a stack of panels.

Product Highlights

4mm rounding radius: Produces a defined curved edge on suitable timber and edging.
Two carbide cutting edges: Z2 construction supports a long working life.
Direct spindle mounting: Hollow-shaft design promotes accurate running and a neat finish.
Surface-conscious geometry: A 5° run-out at the radius transition helps protect the adjacent surface.
Compact bearing arrangement: The matching bearing mounts flush for a low installation height.
Simple installation: Secured using the machine&s specified screw-mounted cutter arrangement.

Product Compatibility

Festool OFK 500: Compatible with this dedicated edge router cutter system.
Festool OFKC 500: Compatible with the cordless edge router.
Festool KLS-D 15,8-OFK guide bearing: Matching bearing accessory, Festool part number 490249, supplied separately.

Compatibility note: This is a special hollow-shaft cutter for the specified Festool edge routers. It does not use a conventional 6mm or 8mm collet shank. Confirm your machine model and guide bearing before ordering.

Extra Information

What does R4 mean?

R4 identifies the 4mm rounding radius. The radius describes the curvature of the finished edge; it is separate from the cutter&s 27mm overall diameter.

What does HW mean?

HW identifies carbide cutting material. This cutter has two carbide cutting edges, designated Z2.

Why does the guide bearing matter?

The matching bearing follows the workpiece edge and provides the reference for the cut. The compatible KLS-D 15,8-OFK bearing is a separate accessory and is not included with this cutter.

Parts Numbers Matter

Important: Confirm Festool part number 490094, model HW R4-OFK 500, and your machine model before ordering.

Pro Tips

Test the depth setting on an offcut of the same material before routing the finished component.
Check that the edging is thick enough to accommodate the intended radius.
Keep the bearing&s contact surface clean; debris or uneven edging can affect the profile.
Maintain steady feed and avoid pausing against the workpiece, which can leave marks.
Keep the cutter clean and inspect both cutting edges for damage before use.

How to Use

Disconnect the router from its power supply or remove the battery.
Inspect the cutter, mounting components and matching guide bearing.
Fit and secure the cutter and bearing according to the router&s operating instructions.
Adjust the routing depth and check the profile on a suitable offcut.
Secure the workpiece and connect suitable dust extraction.
Guide the router steadily in the feed direction specified in the machine instructions, maintaining stable contact with the workpiece.
Allow the cutter to stop completely before setting down the router. Disconnect power before adjustment or cleaning.
