CMT Rabbeting Cutter Head - 4" Diameter, 1-1/4" Bore is a professional-grade shaper cutter head built for table shapers and CNC routers requiring precise, repeatable rabbeting cuts. Engineered with a 2" cutting height and a 4-spur configuration, this cutter head delivers clean, controlled material removal across solid hardwood, softwood, MDF, and engineered wood panels. Designed to accept CMT 695 series interchangeable profiled knives, the CMT 694.100.31 transforms a single cutter body into a versatile profiling platform - making it a practical choice for industrial moulding operations, raised panel production, and heavy-duty edge work.

Key Features

• 4" Cutter Head Diameter - provides a wide cutting arc for aggressive material removal and smooth profile transitions on solid wood and composite panels.
• 1-1/4" Bore (31.75mm) - fits standard shaper spindle arbors, ensuring a secure, vibration-free mount on table shapers and CNC routing platforms.
• 2" Cutting Height - accommodates substantial workpiece depth in a single pass, reducing the need for multiple setups during moulding and rabbeting operations.
• 4 Spurs with 2-Tooth Cutter Configuration - the spur design scores the workpiece surface ahead of the cut, reducing tearout and producing cleaner edges in solid hardwood and cross-grain applications.
• HW (Hardwood) Rated Carbide Material - the cutting material is selected for durability against dense hardwoods and engineered composites, extending tool life between sharpenings or knife replacements.
• 7,500 - 12,500 RPM Operating Range - broad speed compatibility allows the cutter head to be matched to the specific requirements of different shaper machines and cutting conditions for optimal surface quality.
• Accepts CMT 695 Series Interchangeable Knives - one cutter body supports multiple profiled knife sets, reducing tooling costs and downtime when switching between profile shapes on the shop floor.

Why This Product

• The 2" cutting height paired with a 4" diameter cutter head means fewer setup changes when working through thick stock - a direct time saver in production moulding and rabbeting workflows.
• Compatibility with the CMT 695 series interchangeable knife system means a single cutter head can run multiple profiles, reducing the number of dedicated shaper tools needed in a professional shop.
• The 4-spur configuration actively reduces tearout before the main cutting edge engages, which is especially valuable when shaping figured hardwoods or working against the grain.
• A wide operating RPM range of 7,500 - 12,500 RPM gives this cutter head practical flexibility across different shaper spindle speeds, avoiding the need to match a narrowly rated tool to a specific machine.
