Product Description
CMT 690.507 Profile Knives for the Insert Shaper System are a matched pair of alloyed steel shaping knives sized 1-31/32 in. x 5/32 in. (50x4mm), engineered for use with CMT universal cutter heads. Designed for woodworkers and cabinetmakers who demand repeatable molding profiles across a range of materials, these knives deliver long-lasting cutting performance in both production and shop environments. Profile number 507 gives this pair a distinct geometry suited to decorative edging, molding, and profiling work on wood and wood-composite panels.
Key Features
- Alloyed steel construction - provides durability and edge retention through extended production runs, reducing the frequency of knife changes.
- 50x4mm (1-31/32 in. x 5/32 in.) knife size - fits the CMT universal cutter head system so you can swap profiles quickly without changing the entire tooling setup.
- Part of a variety of available profile knives - lets you build a versatile set of shaping profiles for one cutter head system, streamlining your tooling investment.
- Sold as a matched pair - both knives are included together so the cutter head is balanced and ready to run without sourcing a second knife separately.
Why This Product
- For woodworkers already using CMT universal cutter heads, the 690.507 knives slot directly into that system - meaning one set of cutter heads can handle dozens of different molding profiles simply by swapping knives, saving both tooling cost and setup time.
- Alloyed steel construction delivers long-lasting performance on demanding materials, making these knives a practical choice for shops that run high volumes of molding, cabinet door, or edge-profiling work on hardwood, softwood, MDF, or chipboard.
