CMT Professional Finger Joint Cutter Head by CMT is engineered for woodworkers and industrial operators who demand the strongest possible side-to-side wood joints. With a 4-9/64" cutting diameter and a 1-1/4" bore, this finger joint cutter head is built for use on spindle moulder machines, double-end tenoner machines, and shaper machines - delivering precision-cut finger profiles that interlock tightly across solid wood, panel materials, and composite substrates. The result is a glue joint with maximum surface area contact that is structurally stronger than the surrounding unworked wood itself, making it a reliable choice for furniture manufacturing, door production, and engineered wood joinery applications.

Key Features

• Hard aluminium alloy body - provides high resistance to tensile and yield stress, so the cutter head maintains dimensional stability and accurate profile geometry even under continuous production loads.
• 2 HWM knives (49.6 x 11.9 x 1.5mm, Z2) - dual hard metal knives deliver balanced cutting forces and a smooth finger profile, reducing vibration and improving surface finish quality on each pass.
• Maximum material thickness of 47mm - accommodates a wide range of stock dimensions, from thin panel components to thicker solid wood workpieces, without requiring tool changes.
• Cutting height of 1-61/64" - produces deep, interlocking finger profiles that maximize glue surface area, resulting in joints that are stronger than unworked wood.
• Operating speed range of 7,300-11,500 RPM - broad speed compatibility allows the cutter head to be matched to different spindle moulder and shaper machine specifications for optimal performance.
• Suitable for all wood types and composites, ideal on solid wood and panel materials - versatile material compatibility means a single tool handles hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and other engineered wood products without switching cutters.
• Engineered for spindle moulders, double-end tenoners, and shaper machines - purpose-matched to professional stationary machinery, ensuring secure mounting and repeatable joint accuracy across high-volume runs.

Why This Product

• The finger joint geometry produced by this cutter head creates a glue bond stronger than the surrounding unworked wood - making it the right choice for structural joinery, finger-jointed lumber production, and any application where joint integrity is critical.
• With a 4-9/64" cutting diameter and 1-1/4" bore, this cutter head is sized for professional stationary machines including spindle moulders and double-end tenoners, delivering consistent results that smaller router-table setups cannot achieve at production volume.
• The hard aluminium alloy body combined with 2 HWM knife inserts ensures the cutter head resists deformation under sustained cutting loads, making it a practical long-term investment for shops processing solid wood and composite panel materials regularly.
• A maximum workpiece thickness of 47mm and a wide RPM range of 7,300-11,500 give operators flexibility to match this tool to varied stock dimensions and machine configurations without purchasing additional cutter heads.
