- Dimensions of 49x11x9.5mm - exact sizing matched to the cutter head slot, providing consistent knife clamping force and preventing knife movement during use.
- Part of the CMT 651-692-693-695 wedge series for cutter heads and router bits with knives - broad compatibility across CMT knife-style tooling systems means fewer part numbers to manage in your shop.
- Replacement wedge component - restores a worn or damaged cutter head assembly to full working condition, extending the useful life of your existing 694.008 cutter head investment.
Why This Product
- When a wedge wears or fails, the entire cutter head becomes unsafe to use - this direct replacement gets your 694.008 cutter head back in service with a factory-matched component rather than requiring a full head replacement.
- At 49mm in length with an 11mm cutting height dimension, this wedge is sized to work within the precise geometry of the 694.008 cutter head slot, so knife retention performance matches original specifications.
- As part of the CMT wedge series covering cutter heads and router bits with insert knives, this component fits within a system of interchangeable tooling - making it a practical addition to any CMT-equipped woodworking operation.
- Sourcing a dedicated replacement wedge rather than improvising a substitute preserves the integrity of the cutter head assembly and supports consistent, repeatable results across production runs.
