Key Features
Bevel Both WaysStepless angle adjustment from +45° to -45° gives you precise bevel cuts without stopping at fixed detents. That matters when you need to match an inside or outside corner instead of forcing the cut to a preset angle. Fast Base SwapsThe tool-free change design lets you switch bases quickly on a Festool CARVEX jigsaw. Less downtime at the bench means you can move from straight cutting to angled work without digging for extra tools. Stable Angle BaseThis Festool 496134 Carvex Jigsaw Angle Base Plate gives your jigsaw a wider, more supportive footing for beveled cuts. The added stability helps keep the saw tracking cleanly along edge work and corner cuts.
Overview
The Festool 496134 Carvex Jigsaw Angle Base Plate is an angle base accessory for Festool CARVEX jigsaws. This is a jigsaw angle base designed for angled cutting on inside and outside edges. Model Number: 496134. If you already rely on a CARVEX for detail work, trim fitting, or finish cuts where the angle actually matters, this accessory gives you a cleaner way to make bevel cuts without fighting the stock setup.
The big story here is the stepless adjustment range from +45° to -45°. That gives you more control than a simple fixed-angle setup, especially when you’re fitting material to walls, scribing edge details, or working around inside and outside corners that are not perfectly square. Instead of trying to force the work to match the tool, you can tune the base to the angle you need and make the cut with better control.
Festool also built this base around a tool-free change design, which is exactly what you want from a jobsite or shop accessory. When an accessory takes too long to install, it stays in the case. This one is meant to be swapped in when the cut calls for it, then removed just as quickly when you are back to standard jigsaw work. That makes it more useful in real work, not just in theory.
In use, the angle base is built to handle both inside and outside corner work. That is a practical advantage for cabinet installers, finish carpenters, and woodworkers doing edge cuts where support at the cut line makes a difference. A stable base helps the jigsaw stay planted, which is especially important when you are cutting a bevel and trying to keep the blade tracking consistently through the material.
Compatibility is straightforward: this accessory is made for Festool PS(C) 420 and PSB(C) 420 CARVEX jigsaws, and supplementary product data also states it works with all Festool CARVEX jigsaws. If you are already on the CARVEX platform, this is the kind of accessory that expands what the saw can do without adding another dedicated tool to the van or the shop.
Who should buy it? Anyone using a CARVEX jigsaw for precise woodworking, trim installation, remodeling, or custom fitting work where bevel capability on edges is more than an occasional need. If all you do is rough straight cuts, you probably do not need it. But if your work involves careful angle cuts and clean fit-up, this accessory earns its keep fast.

- Who it’s for: CARVEX owners doing trim, cabinet, remodeling, and woodworking jobs where edge bevels and corner fit-up matter.
- Why it stands out: The tool-free swap and stepless +/- 45° adjustment make it a practical add-on instead of a fussy one.
