Planer Blade Festool 488503 65 mm for Wood

Replacement planer blade made from carbide for use with the Festool EHL 65 one-hand electronic planer. The spiral (helix) design provides a pulling cut and is intended for standard planing tasks on wood, delivering clean cuts and smooth surfaces with a 65 mm working width.

Advantages

The carbide construction increases wear resistance and maintains sharpness longer than standard steel blades. The spiral arrangement of the inserts produces a pulling cut and reduces vibration for an even surface finish. Blade changes are quick and require only three screws, and the blades fit precisely without needing adjustment of the blade protrusion, ensuring true-running during operation.

Suitable for

• Planing and smoothing softwood and hardwood surfaces
• General joinery and carpentry tasks
• Refinishing and surface preparation before finishing

Key specifications

• Material: carbide cutting inserts
• Design: spiral/helix blade arrangement
• Working width: 65 mm
• Compatibility: for one-hand electronic planers of the EHL 65 type
• Fastening: three-screw mount for blade replacement

How to use

Switch off and unplug the planer before performing any blade change. Remove the three screws securing the cutter head, replace the spiral carbide blade by aligning it in the cutter head seat, and re-tighten the screws evenly. After replacement, check that the cutter head rotates freely and perform a test cut on scrap wood to confirm correct installation and cutting direction.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection) during planing. For best results, perform test passes on a scrap piece of the same wood to set feed speed and depth of cut. Replace blades when cutting quality decreases to avoid tear-out and excessive motor load.
