Frequently Asked Questions
Which cutter head is this wedge designed for?
This wedge is specifically designed for the CMT cutter head model 694.001. It is not a universal wedge and should be matched to that cutter head to ensure a correct, secure fit for the insert knives.
What are the exact dimensions of the 695.999.07 wedge?
The wedge measures 6.8 x 11 x 9.5mm, with a 7mm diameter, an 11mm cutting height, and a total length of 3/8 in. These dimensions correspond to the original specification for the 694.001 cutter head.
Is this wedge part of a larger family of compatible components?
Yes. The 695.999.07 belongs to the 651-692-693-695 series of wedges, which covers a range of CMT cutter heads and router bits that use replaceable insert knives. If you work with multiple CMT knife-style tooling, this wedge type is a standard service component across several configurations.
Why is it important to replace a damaged or missing knife wedge promptly?
The wedge is the primary clamping element that holds the insert knife securely in the cutter head during operation. A damaged, deformed, or missing wedge allows the knife to shift under cutting load, which degrades cut quality and places additional stress on the cutter head body. Replacing it with the correct 6.8 x 11 x 9.5mm wedge restores proper knife retention and safe tool function.
