Product Description
The CMT 541.518.00 Spacer is a precision-ground assembly component designed to fine-tune tool positioning on spindles and cutter head systems. With an outer diameter of 14mm, a bore diameter of 8mm, and a plate thickness of 1mm, this compact spacer gives woodworkers and machinists the exact clearance adjustment needed when stacking cutters or aligning tooling to a desired working width. Whether you are setting up a cutter head assembly or dialing in precise stack heights, this CMT spacer delivers consistent, repeatable results thanks to its tight dimensional tolerances.
Key Features
- Outer Diameter: 14mm - sized to seat correctly within compatible cutter head and tooling assemblies, eliminating guesswork during setup.
- Bore Diameter: 8mm - fits standard 8mm spindle and arbor configurations, providing a secure, centered fit that prevents lateral movement during operation.
- Plate Thickness: 1mm - ultra-thin profile allows for incremental spacing adjustments, giving you precise control over tool position without significant changes to overall stack height.
- Precision-ground construction - tight tolerances across all three dimensions ensure accurate, repeatable tool positioning every time the assembly is reconfigured.
- Designed for assembly use - purpose-built as a spacer component, meaning it integrates cleanly into multi-tool cutter head setups without requiring modification.
Why This Product
- When stacking cutters or bore reducers to reach a target cutting width, a 1mm spacer gives you the smallest practical increment of adjustment - ideal for dialing in exact tool positions that a thicker spacer cannot achieve.
- The 8mm bore diameter aligns with common spindle standards, making this spacer a versatile fit for a range of cutter head assembly configurations without additional adapters.
- At just 1mm thick with a 14mm outer diameter, this spacer adds minimal bulk to a tooling stack while still performing its full positioning function - a practical choice when working within tight spindle length limits.
- CMT manufactures this spacer as part of a coordinated tooling system, so dimensional compatibility with other CMT cutter head components is built into the design rather than left to chance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact dimensions of the CMT 541.518.00 spacer?
The spacer has an outer diameter of 14mm, a bore diameter of 8mm, and a plate thickness of 1mm. These dimensions are precision-ground to maintain tight tolerances for accurate tool positioning.
What is this spacer used for?
This spacer is designed for assembly use - specifically for adjusting tool position on a spindle or arbor, and for stacking cutters within a cutter head system to reach a desired working width.
What spindle size does this spacer fit?
The bore diameter is 8mm, so it is designed to fit on an 8mm spindle or arbor. Always confirm your tooling spindle diameter before installing.
Can multiple spacers be used together to achieve a greater total spacing?
Yes. Because each spacer is 1mm thick, multiple units can be stacked to build up spacing in 1mm increments, allowing precise control over tool positioning within the available spindle length.
