Product Description
CMT Pair of Knives (A) for Rail and Stile - 40x24.5x2mm are precision-ground carbide profiling knives designed for use with CMT spindle moulder cutter heads, specifically the CMT cutter head 694.014. Built from hardmetal (HW) carbide, these Profile A knives deliver accurate, repeatable results when moulding rails, stiles, and raised panel profiles on spindle moulders, shapers, profiling machines, and edging machines. Whether you are shaping hardwood cabinet doors or profiling softwood mouldings, this matched pair provides the consistent cutting geometry needed for clean, professional results.
Key Features
- Hardmetal (HW) carbide construction - resists wear and maintains a sharp cutting edge through extended production runs in hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard
- Profile A rail and stile geometry - ground to exact Profile A specifications so every cut matches the intended raised panel profile with no guesswork or hand fitting
- 40x24.5x2mm knife dimensions - sized specifically for compatibility with the CMT 694.014 cutter head, ensuring secure seating and accurate profile alignment
- Sold as a matched pair - both knives are included together so the cutter head is properly balanced from the first use, reducing setup time and vibration
- Precision-ground profile - manufactured to tight tolerances so results are repeatable across production runs, minimizing waste and rework
Why This Product
- Designed specifically as the Type A knife for the CMT 694.014 cutter head, these knives are a direct, confirmed fit - eliminating guesswork when sourcing replacement or additional knives for an existing cutter head setup
- Carbide (HW) material means the cutting edges hold their profile geometry significantly longer than high-speed steel alternatives, making these knives well suited for shops that run repeated rail and stile profiles in hardwood or abrasive sheet materials
- The Profile A rail and stile shape produces the matching tongue and groove profile required for traditional raised panel door construction, giving woodworkers and cabinet makers a purpose-matched tooling solution
- Purchasing a matched pair ensures the cutter head remains dynamically balanced, which is critical for smooth cuts and safe operation on spindle moulders and shapers running at production speeds

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cutter head are these knives compatible with?
These Profile A knives are designed for use with the CMT cutter head model 694.014. Always confirm your cutter head model before ordering to ensure a proper fit and safe operation.
What does "Profile A" mean for rail and stile knives?
Rail and stile cutter head sets typically include multiple knife profiles that work together to produce a matched tongue, groove, and decorative edge for raised panel door frames. Profile A refers to the specific geometry of this pair within that system - it is the shape ground into the cutting faces of these 40x24.5x2mm knives.
What materials can these carbide knives cut?
The hardmetal (HW) carbide construction makes these knives suitable for profiling hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard - common materials in cabinet door and moulding production.
How many knives are included in this order?
