Product Description
CMT Pair of Knives for Roundover and Chamfer (Top) - R=5mm plus 45 deg. are precision-ground carbide profiling knives designed for spindle moulder cutter heads. These HW (carbide) knives deliver a combined 5mm roundover and 45 deg. chamfer profile on top edges, making them a practical choice for moulding, edge shaping, and profiling operations on wood-based materials. Sold as a matched pair, they are compatible with spindle moulders, shapers, profiling machines, and edging machines.
Key Features
- HW carbide material - provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for clean, consistent cuts across hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard without rapid dulling.
- Combined R=5mm roundover plus 45 deg. chamfer profile (top) - produces two distinct edge treatments in a single knife set, reducing tool changes and improving workflow efficiency.
- 20mm cutting height - allows a substantial depth of cut, giving profiles full expression and reducing the need for multiple passes on thicker stock.
- 20mm diameter knives - sized to fit compatible CMT cutter heads, ensuring accurate, repeatable seating and profile alignment.
- Precision-ground profile - ground to exact profile specifications so each knife in the pair produces identical results, supporting tight tolerances in production and custom moulding work.
- Sold as a matched pair - both knives are included together so the cutter head is balanced and ready for use straight away, without sourcing individual blades separately.
Why This Product
- Two profiles in one knife set - the combined 5mm roundover and 45 deg. chamfer profile means a single pair of knives handles two common edge treatments, reducing tooling inventory and setup time on the shop floor.
- Carbide construction for demanding materials - HW carbide holds an edge significantly longer than high-speed steel, making these knives well suited to abrasive engineered panels such as MDF and chipboard as well as solid hardwood and softwood.
- Matched pair for balanced operation - cutter heads require balanced knife loading for safe, vibration-free operation; receiving both knives together ensures the cutter head is correctly loaded without additional sourcing steps.
- Designed for CMT cutter head compatibility - these knives are profiled and dimensioned specifically for CMT spindle moulder cutter heads, supporting accurate profile reproduction and straightforward installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What profile do these knives cut?
These knives cut a combined profile: a 5mm radius roundover plus a 45 deg. chamfer on the top edge. Both profile elements are incorporated into a single knife pair, so one cutter head setup produces both edge treatments simultaneously.
What machines are these knives compatible with?
These profiled carbide knives are designed for use in CMT spindle moulder cutter heads and are suitable for use on spindle moulders, shapers, profiling machines, and edging machines that accept the corresponding CMT knife system.
What materials can these knives be used on?
The HW carbide construction makes these knives appropriate for profiling hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard. Carbide holds its edge well on abrasive engineered wood products such as MDF and chipboard, which tend to dull high-speed steel tools more quickly.
How many knives are included in one order?
Each order includes 2 pieces - 1 matched pair of profiled carbide knives. This is the complete set required to load a compatible CMT cutter head for balanced, safe operation.
