Product Description
CMT Pair of Knives for Roundover and Chamfer (Bottom) - R=3mm plus 45 deg. by CMT are precision-ground carbide profiling knives designed to produce a clean 3mm roundover combined with a 45 deg. chamfer on the bottom edge of a workpiece. Sold as a matched pair, these HW (tungsten carbide) knives are engineered for use in compatible CMT spindle moulder cutter heads, delivering consistent, repeatable profiles across a wide range of wood-based materials including hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard. Whether you are profiling solid timber on a spindle moulder or shaping edges on a profiling machine, this knife pair brings industrial-grade accuracy to workshop and production-floor applications alike.
Key Features
- Dual-profile geometry - R=3mm roundover plus 45 deg. chamfer (bottom): a single knife pair handles two profile elements simultaneously, reducing setup time and producing a refined finished edge in one pass.
- Tungsten carbide (HW) material: carbide construction maintains a sharp cutting edge significantly longer than high-speed steel alternatives, meaning fewer knife changes and more consistent results over extended production runs.
- 20mm diameter and 20mm cutting height: these dimensions are sized to match compatible CMT cutter head bodies, ensuring secure seating and accurate profile alignment with no guesswork during installation.
- Precision-ground profile: each knife is ground to exact profile specifications, so the roundover and chamfer geometry is accurate and repeatable from the first cut to the last.
- Sold as a matched pair: both knives are included in a single order, so you receive a balanced, ready-to-install set without needing to source individual blades separately.
Why This Product
- The combined R=3mm roundover plus 45 deg. chamfer profile gives woodworkers and cabinetmakers a versatile bottom-edge treatment in a single tooling setup - ideal for furniture components, door parts, and decorative mouldings where a refined profile edge is required.
- Carbide (HW) construction means these knives hold their edge through demanding production work on hardwood, MDF, and composite panels, reducing downtime compared to softer knife materials.
- Designed specifically to pair with CMT cutter head systems, these knives integrate with an established tooling platform, supporting quick changeouts and consistent profile repeatability across multiple production runs.
- Purchasing as a matched pair ensures balanced cutting performance and simplifies inventory management - you always have a complete, balanced knife set on hand for the next job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What profile do these knives produce?
These knives produce a combined profile of a 3mm roundover plus a 45 deg. chamfer on the bottom edge of the workpiece. This dual-profile geometry is machined into the carbide blade, so both elements are cut in a single pass through a compatible cutter head.
What material are the CMT 695.005.B3 knives made from?
The knives are manufactured from HW-grade tungsten carbide. Carbide tooling is chosen for its hardness and edge retention, making it well suited to production runs across hardwood, softwood, MDF, plywood, and chipboard.
How many knives are included in this order?
Each order of the CMT 695.005.B3 includes 2 pieces - sold as a matched pair. A complete balanced pair is required for proper installation and safe operation in a CMT cutter head body.
What are the key dimensions of these profiling knives?
The knives have a diameter of 20mm, a cutting height of 20mm, and a total length of 2mm, with a profile radius of 3mm plus 45 deg. These dimensions are specified to fit compatible CMT cutter head systems designed for this knife size.
