Festool Kapex

One nice thing Festool has done is stamp the specs right on the blade (tooth design and count,

rake angle and gullet spacing). This information is needed for the sharpening service to bring

the blade to specs and to produce the best possible finished cuts.

Festool has a color code for its saw blades for different materials. Each blade has a colored ring

on it to designate the material it is intended to be used for. Yellow is for wood/soft plastic, red is

for laminate and blue is for non-ferrous metals/acrylic/hard plastic.
