Key Features
- Alloyed Steel Construction - made of alloyed steel for durability and long-lasting performance through extended production runs, reducing the frequency of knife changes and downtime.
- 40x4mm Knife Size (1-37/64" x 5/32") - a standardized KSS 40x4mm format ensures compatibility with universal cutter heads, giving shops flexibility across a range of spindle moulder setups.
- Sold as a Matched Pair - both knives in the pack are produced to the same profile specification, so balanced cuts and symmetrical profiles are achieved without additional matching or fitting work.
- Part of the CMT Insert Shaper System - designed to work within a modular knife system that accepts a variety of profile knives, allowing one set of cutter heads to perform many different molding profiles by simply swapping knives.
- Profile Number 022 - a specific, repeatable molding geometry that allows woodworkers to reproduce the same profile run after run, which is essential for consistent cabinet door making, edge profiling, and decorative millwork.
Why This Product
- One modular system, many profiles - because these knives are part of the CMT insert shaper system, a single set of cutter heads can be paired with a wide variety of profile knives, reducing equipment investment while expanding profiling capability.
- Long-lasting alloyed steel means fewer replacements - the alloyed steel material is suited for repeated use on hardwood, softwood, MDF, and chipboard, making these knives cost-effective for busy woodworking shops.
- Standardized 40x4mm format for broad compatibility - the KSS 40x4mm knife size fits universal cutter heads, so these knives can be adopted into existing setups without requiring a proprietary or dedicated machine.
- Consistent molding output - matched pairs and a precise profile number mean each production run produces the same result, which is critical for cabinet door making, frame and panel work, and any application where profile uniformity matters.
