The Festool 201184 Carvex Jigsaw Circle Cutter, Imperial is a circle-cutting accessory for Festool CARVEX jigsaws. This is a jigsaw circle cutter designed for precise circle and arc cuts in wood and similar shop materials. Model Number 201184. If you already run a PS 420 or another Festool CARVEX jigsaw and need cleaner radius work than a freehand cut can deliver, this is the add-on that makes the tool more useful.

The big selling point here is range. Festool rates it for circles from 4-3/8 inches up to 9 feet 10-1/8 inches in diameter, or 4-3/4" (120 mm) to 3 meters. That covers everything from smaller round openings to large arcs and oversized circles without building a one-off jig. The imperial markings on the arm make layout more direct for users working in inches, which saves time when you are matching a print or fitting parts on the bench.

Setup is straightforward because the cutter attaches tool-free to the optional Base Adapter 497303. That matters on the job and in the shop because accessories that take too long to install usually stay in the box. Festool also designed it to roll up for compact storage when it is not in use, so it is easier to keep with the rest of your CARVEX setup instead of letting a long beam accessory get bent or buried.

This accessory is meant for users who want their jigsaw to do more than rough curved cuts. Cabinet installers, trim carpenters, remodelers, set builders, and serious DIY users can all get value out of it when the work calls for repeatable circles or smooth arcs. It is especially useful if you already own the required Base Adapter 497303 or plan to build out a more complete Festool CARVEX system.
