Festool Carvex Bases
Festool Carvex Bases and Base Plates
Festool Carvex bases change how a Carvex jigsaw meets the workpiece. This collection holds six options: a standard base insert, a steel base insert, a hard fiber base plate, a low friction dimpled base plate, a StickFix felt base plate, and an angle base plate. Pick the base for the surface you are cutting, then pair it with the right Carvex jigsaw blade for the material.
What to Look For
- Surface protection. The felt and hard fiber plates give a softer contact face for finished, painted, or veneered panels.
- Glide. The low friction dimpled plate cuts drag on laminate and coated sheet goods.
- Durability. The steel base insert holds up to rough stock and job site use.
- Angled cuts. The angle base plate is built for cutting at an angle rather than square to the face.

Festool Carvex Bases FAQ
Which Carvex base should I use on finished surfaces?
Use the StickFix felt base plate or the hard fiber base plate. Both put a softer face between the saw and the panel than the standard or steel insert. Add a splinterguard to cut tear-out on the top face.
Do these bases fit other jigsaws?
No. These bases and inserts are made for Festool Carvex jigsaws, as named in each product title. Check the Carvex model on your saw before ordering.
