2-1/8" x 1/8" Radius Router Bit for Edge Banding, 5/16" Shank

2-1/8 x 1/8 Radius Router Bit For Edge Banding

2-1/8 x 1/8 radius router bit defines this Festool profiling router bit as a dedicated edge-banding tool, so installers can match it directly to jobs calling for a 3 mm radius on wood or plastic edges. Designed for use with the Festool MFK 700 Trim Router, it supports a consistent setup where the router and bit work together for controlled edging passes. The bit produces a radius on 3 mm wood or plastic edge banding, shaping the banding to a clean profile that blends with the panel face. The cutters can be rotated, presenting new cutting surfaces as each edge wears during normal routing work. With four new cutting surfaces available on the bit, the same tool can stay in service longer before replacement is needed. Individually packed supply keeps each router bit protected until it is put into edge-banding service on site or in the shop.

Key Edge Banding Details For Daily Routing

• The 2-1/8 in. by 1/8 in. radius format defines the bit geometry, helping match it to edgebanding layouts where that profile is specified.
• The bit is in the router bits product class, so it functions as a cutting and shaping tool in standard routing workflows for profiling edges.
• Its role in the profiling category ties it directly to trimming and shaping tasks, supporting clean transitions on 3 mm edge banding around cabinet or panel edges.
• Use with 3 mm wood or plastic edge banding focuses the bit on common edgebanding materials, supporting consistent results across different banding types.
• The Festool brand and manufacturer part number 499808 provide an exact reference, helping shops align this cutter to existing Festool trim routing setups.

Router Bit Setup And Festool Trim Use

Router bit radius 3 mm MFK700 KA65 links this tool directly to the Festool MFK 700 Trim Router, so the bit geometry and router design work together when trimming 3 mm edge banding. The bit is identified specifically for use with the Festool MFK 700 Trim Router, which gives installers a defined pairing between tool and cutter during setup. Its 3 mm radius focus aligns with edgebanding jobs that call for that profile, turning sharp or square banding edges into a smooth radius in one routing pass. Being part of the Festool system described as MFK700/KA65, the bit fits into an organized edge-banding workflow where trim routing and banding application share matching dimensions.

Using This Router Bit In Edge Banding Work

Where This Festool Router Bit Fits In Edgebanding

This router bit is designed for use with the Festool MFK 700 Trim Router, placing it squarely in trim and detail work on panel edges. When an installer applies 3 mm wood edge banding, the bit produces the radius on 3 mm wood edge banding so the banding edge is profiled rather than left sharp. On plastic banding jobs, the same bit produces the perfect radius on 3 mm wood or plastic edge banding, allowing one cutter to cover both common banding materials. Its classification under bits, blades and cutters, within profiling, connects it to finishing cuts on edges rather than bulk stock removal. That role keeps it useful at the final stage of edgebanding work, where a defined radius is part of the specified edge detail.

Why The Rotating Cutters Support Repeatable Results

The cutters can be rotated, so each cutter edge can be brought into use as the active surface wears in normal routing. Four new cutting surfaces on the bit extend service life, because each rotation presents another sharp edge without changing the overall bit geometry. This helps maintain the same 3 mm radius profile over time, supporting repeatable results across multiple jobs without resetting for a different bit. As the bit stays in service longer, shops can keep the same MFK 700 setup in place for a run of edgebanding work, reducing changeovers while still relying on sharp cutting edges.

Common Questions About This Edge Banding Router Bit

Selecting This Router Bit For Edge Banding Jobs

Festool radius router bit 499808 is focused on producing a 3 mm radius on wood or plastic edge banding, aligning directly with common edge-banding specifications. Its design for use with the Festool MFK 700 Trim Router gives installers and shops a defined pairing between router and bit when setting up for profiling passes. With four new cutting surfaces available through its rotating cutter design, the same tool can be used across many banded panels while keeping the radius consistent. Individually packed supply from Wurth Baer Supply ties this bit into an organized router and edgebanding tool plan for cabinet and woodworking projects.
