Product Description
The CMT 541.517.00 Spacer is a precision-ground assembly component designed for accurate tool positioning and spacing in cutter head setups and spindle assemblies. With an outer diameter of 14mm, a bore diameter of 8mm, and a plate thickness of just 0.5mm, this compact spacer from CMT delivers the tight tolerances needed to stack cutters, fine-tune tool positioning along a spindle, or achieve a precise assembled width in multi-piece tooling configurations.
Key Features
- 14mm outer diameter with 8mm bore - fits precisely over 8mm spindles and within 14mm tooling clearances, eliminating slop and ensuring centered, stable tool alignment during assembly.
- 0.5mm plate thickness - provides ultra-fine incremental adjustment for tool positioning, allowing assemblers to dial in exact spacing without overshooting the target stack height.
- Designed as a dedicated assembly spacer - purpose-built for use in cutter head and spindle assembly workflows, reducing the need for improvised shims or makeshift solutions that can compromise accuracy.
Why This Product
- When assembling multi-piece cutter head systems, even fractions of a millimeter matter - this 0.5mm spacer gives you a controlled, repeatable increment to build up or fine-tune tool stack width with confidence.
- The 8mm bore and 14mm outer diameter are matched to CMT tooling geometry, meaning this spacer seats cleanly without modification or adaptation work on the spindle.
- At just 0.5mm thick, this spacer occupies minimal spindle real estate while still delivering meaningful positional adjustment - ideal for tight assemblies where every millimeter of spindle length is accounted for.
- Sourced directly from CMT as an active component (status: Active), this spacer is a supported part within CMT's tooling lineup - not a discontinued or substitute piece.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact dimensions of this spacer?
This spacer has an outer diameter of 14mm, a bore diameter of 8mm, and a plate thickness of 0.5mm. These dimensions are taken directly from CMT's product data for part number 541.517.00.
What is this spacer used for?
This is a dedicated assembly spacer intended for use in cutter head and spindle assembly applications. It allows for precise incremental adjustment of tool positioning and cutter stack width along a spindle.
Will this spacer fit on an 8mm spindle?
Yes. The bore diameter of this spacer is 8mm, making it compatible with 8mm spindle shafts used in cutter head tooling assemblies.
Can I use multiple spacers together to achieve greater spacing?
Yes. At 0.5mm per spacer, multiple units can be stacked together to build up the precise total spacing needed for a given tooling configuration - a common practice in cutter head assembly work.
