HL 850 Rustic Undulating Planer Head is a Festool planer head and blade set designed for creating a scalloped, hand-hewn effect in solid wood. The undulating rustic design shapes the surface into repeating waves, which produces a distinctive textured look suitable for visible wood faces. The spiral cutter engages the material with a slicing action similar to a skewed angle hand plane, so it works across the cut rather than chopping straight in, which reduces chatter and leaves a smoother cut on the finished surface. The head is built around a durable, precision ground HSS spiral-cutting blade, so the cutting edge maintains its profile over use, supporting consistent rustic patterns from board to board. A depth limiter is integrated with the planer head, so the cutting depth stays within a controlled range, helping keep the scalloped effect even along the workpiece length.
The Festool HL 850 Rustic Undulating Planer Head uses self-aligning blades, so the blade locates itself correctly once it is in position. During a blade change, three screws are loosened, the blade is replaced, and the screws are tightened again, so there is no separate alignment step to dial in the cutting edge. This process lets installers refresh the cutting edge without adjusting the planer head geometry, which helps keep the scalloped effect consistent from the first cut after maintenance. Because the blade and head are designed as a matching spiral-cutting system, the installed assembly maintains the intended slicing action and undulating pattern when set into service.
The HL 850 Rustic Undulating Planer Head is intended for creating a scalloped or hand-hewn effect in solid wood, so it fits work where a visible rustic surface is part of the design. The undulating rustic profile reshapes flat stock into a series of shallow waves, giving doors, beams, or trim a carved appearance directly from the planer. Because the spiral cutter engages the material with a slicing action, the head can shape the surface while controlling chatter, which is useful when treating long pieces where marks would be noticeable. The included depth limiter works with the head to restrict how deep the scallops cut into the wood, allowing the user to keep the effect within a repeatable range on similar parts.
The spiral cutter in this Festool planer head works with a slicing motion similar to that of a skewed angle hand plane, so the cutting edge meets the wood gradually along the spiral, which decreases impact and reduces chatter at the surface. This cutting style leaves a smoother cut even while forming a pronounced rustic pattern, which can shorten follow-up surface preparation before finishing. The durable, precision ground HSS spiral-cutting blade is engineered to hold its shape, so the undulating pattern remains consistent over a long service life rather than changing as the edge wears. Self-aligning blades simplify replacement because the new blade seats itself in the correct position after loosening and re-tightening the three screws, which helps maintain the original pattern alignment without additional adjustment steps.
The HL 850 Rustic Undulating Planer Head creates a scalloped, hand-hewn effect in solid wood, so flat stock gains a textured, rustic surface as the planer passes over the work.
The spiral cutter uses a slicing action similar to a skewed hand plane, which reduces chatter at the cutting edge and produces a smoother cut while still leaving a pronounced rustic texture.
The self-aligning blades on this planer head position themselves during installation, so loosening three screws, changing the blade, and tightening restores the cutting edge without alignment work.
The durable, precision ground HSS spiral-cutting blade maintains its edge and profile over time, so the rustic undulating pattern stays consistent across multiple jobs and workpieces.
The depth limiter on the planer head controls how deep the blade cuts, so the height of the scalloped pattern remains within a defined range along the length of the board.
Festool part number 485331 identifies this specific HL 850 Rustic Undulating Planer Head with its spiral-cutting HSS blade, helping match the correct head when ordering or replacing.
The Festool HL 850 Rustic Undulating Planer Head with spiral-cutting HSS blade is built to cut a scalloped, hand-hewn effect directly into solid wood, giving projects a controlled rustic character. Its spiral cutter uses a slicing action similar to a skewed angle hand plane, so it reduces chatter and leaves a smoother textured surface ready for finishing steps. Self-aligning blades and a straightforward three-screw change process keep maintenance quick while holding the pattern geometry. With the depth limiter managing cut depth, this 485331 planer head from Wurth Baer Supply supports repeatable rustic profiles across multiple workpieces.
