Festool Carvex Circle Cutter & Guide Rail Adapter Set (Imperial) 201185KIT
The Festool Carvex Circle Cutter and Guide Rail Adapter Set (Imperial) transforms your PS 420 or PSC 420 jigsaw into a precision geometric cutting system. This two-part kit equips your jigsaw to handle both perfectly straight lines and expansive circles with ease, eliminating the inaccuracies of freehand cutting. Whether you are fabricating a round dining table, cutting an arched entryway, or ripping material that requires the finesse of a jigsaw, this set provides the stability and guidance necessary for furniture-grade results.
The set centers around the tool-free Base Adapter (497303), which snaps securely onto the Carvex base, allowing it to ride smoothly on any Festool FS Guide Rail. When combined with the included Imperial Circle Cutter (201184), the system expands your capabilities to cut circles ranging from 4-3/8 inches to an impressive 9 feet 10-1/8 inches in diameter. The circle cutter utilizes a unique roll-up steel tape design, ensuring it remains compact for storage while offering rigid accuracy during use. This kit is an essential upgrade for woodworkers, countertop installers, and finish carpenters who demand versatility and precision.
