Standard, universal base insert for wood and wood-like materials. Comes standard with CARVEX Jigsaws. Replacement.
The low-friction base insert has oustanding glide properties. The dimpled, plastic bottom offers lower resistance, especially when sawing without dust extraction. Because of the design, dust will not accumulate at the front of the base as you cut. Also works great on uneven surfaces like OSB.
The hard fiber base insert is for use on wood and similar materials. It provides a smooth, low friction, phenolic surface and, unlike a plastic base, will not pick up chips or filings that may scratch or damage your material.
The metal cutting base insert has a steel surface, which is far more durable that the standard base. For use when cutting metals with the CARVEX jigsaw, which is capable of cutting non-ferrous metals up to 3/4″ and steel up to 3/8″ thick. Please note that you need to use a metal cutting blade for this application. Also, when using dust extraction during metal cutting, you need to make use of Festool’s optional spark trap to prevent hazardous conditions which may lead to fire.
The felt base insert employs replaceable felts which attach via StickFix hook and loop. The felts provide maximum assurance against abrasion on delicate surfaces and finishes. Replacement felts can be purchased separately in 5-packs (497 444).
This base can be used to adapt your CARVEX jigsaw to a Festool guide rail to get extremely straight cuts. When used with the CARVEX, it can be attached to a guide rail to cut in either direction. It is also used in conjunction with the optional circle cutter (497304) to cut arcs and circles.
The optional circle cutter for the CARVEX jigsaws can be used to cut circles up to nearly ten feet in diameter. It attaches to the optional Guide Rail base (497303) or can be purchased as a set (497443) that includes the base and circle cutter.
The Circle Cutter Set consists of the optional Guide Rail Base Adapter and Circle Cutter for the CARVEX jigsaw.
