Festool ZK HW 45/45 Solid Carbide Edge Scraper 45x45mm R1

Festool ZK HW 45/45 Solid Carbide Edge Scraper 45x45mm R1 / R1.5 / R2 At a Glance: Professional solid-carbide hand scraper for the precision finishing of plastic edge banding. Features a flat scraping edge plus three integrated edge radii of R1, R1.5 and R2 mm for removing overhangs, glue residue and router marks while producing clean, smoothly finished edges. Give plastic edge banding the clean final finish it deserves with the Festool ZK HW 45/45 scraper . Designed as the final hand-finishing step after trimming or routing an edge, this compact professional scraper makes it possible to remove the last traces of edge overhang, smooth away cutter marks and create a clean radius on thin plastic edging. The scraper is manufactured from solid carbide for excellent durability and wear resistance, while its carefully engineered sharpness and angle of attack help prevent damage to the workpiece surface when correctly used. One flat side is provided for removing projecting edging and adhesive residue from the panel face, while three precisely formed radii of R1, R1.5 and R2 mm correspond to common edging requirements. An attached guide cord is used as a support while scraping, helping the user maintain the correct working angle and achieve consistent results. Measuring only 45 x 45 x 1.2 mm , FES499749 is a small but highly useful finishing tool for furniture makers, cabinetmakers and users of the Festool CONTURO edge-banding system. The finishing step that makes an edge look complete Machine trimming removes most of the projecting edge material, but a perfectly finished plastic edge often still needs a final hand operation. The ZK HW 45/45 scraper removes small remaining projections and cutter marks while refining the edge radius, helping transform a freshly machined edge into a smooth, professional finished surface. Product highlights Solid carbide construction: Provides excellent durability and high resistance to wear. Three integrated edge radii: R1, R1.5 and R2 mm cover common plastic edge-band thicknesses and finishing requirements. Flat scraping side: Removes remaining edge overhang and adhesive residue from the panel surface. Removes cutter marks: Smooths impact and machining marks remaining after routing. Creates clean radii: Allows thin plastic edging to be rounded and refined by hand. Suitable for mitred edges: Useful for cleaning inclined and mitred plastic edges. Optimised cutting geometry: Carefully selected sharpness and angle of attack help protect the workpiece surface. Guide cord: The attached cord provides a support reference that helps maintain the optimum scraping angle. Compact professional tool: Measures just 45 x 45 x 1.2 mm for precise hand-controlled finishing. Festool system design: The integrated radii are coordinated with Festool's routing and edge-finishing system. Product Compatibility Festool KA 65 CONTURO: Particularly suited to final finishing of plastic edge banding after application and trimming with the Festool CONTURO edge-banding system. Festool routing system: The R1, R1.5 and R2 mm profiles are coordinated with corresponding edge radii used within Festool's routing programme. Manual use: The ZK HW 45/45 is a hand-finishing tool and does not require attachment to a power tool for operation. Important: The ZK HW 45/45 is intended primarily for finishing plastic edge banding . Its solid-carbide edges are extremely wear resistant, but the scraper should still be handled carefully and protected against impact or dropping onto hard surfaces.
