Product Description
CMT 695.999.17 Wedge for Knives is a precision-machined replacement wedge designed to securely lock insert knives within the CMT cutter head 694.005. Measuring 17x11x9.5mm, this compact wedge delivers a firm, reliable grip on the cutting knife, helping maintain consistent cutting performance and reducing vibration during operation. Whether you are restoring a worn cutter head assembly or stocking spares for production environments, this knife-retention wedge is the correct OEM-compatible component for the 694.005 cutter head system.
Key Features
- Designed specifically for CMT cutter head 694.005 - ensures a proper, secure fit without modification or guesswork, keeping knives locked firmly in place during use.
- Dimensions of 17mm diameter, 11mm cutting height, and 3/8 in. total length - precise sizing that mates correctly with the cutter head body for accurate knife alignment and retention.
- Part of the CMT 651-692-693-695 wedge series for cutter heads - compatibility across multiple CMT cutter head platforms makes this a practical component to have on hand for shops running CMT tooling systems.
- Engineered for use in cutter heads and router bits with knives - versatile function within the CMT insert-knife tooling ecosystem means fewer separate part numbers to manage.
Why This Product
- Replacing a worn or damaged knife-retention wedge restores the cutter head to full operating integrity - a failed or loose wedge can cause knife shift, poor surface quality, or unsafe tool conditions, making this a critical service component.
- The 17x11x9.5mm dimensions are matched to the 694.005 cutter head geometry - using the correct OEM wedge eliminates the risk of improper fit that can result from substituting generic hardware.
- Sourcing this wedge as a standalone replacement part extends the working life of the cutter head body - replacing only the wedge rather than the entire assembly is a cost-effective maintenance approach.
- Compatibility with the CMT cutter head and router bit knife system (series 651-692-693-695) means this wedge fits naturally into existing CMT tooling setups without requiring new tooling investments.
