Product Description
CMT Pair of Knives (B) for Rail and Stile - 40x24.5x2mm are precision-ground carbide profiled knives designed for rail and stile joinery work on spindle moulders, shapers, profiling machines, and edging machines. Manufactured from hardmetal (HW) carbide, these Type B profile knives deliver accurate, repeatable results when cutting raised panel profiles in hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard. Sold as a matched pair, they are engineered for use with the CMT cutter head model 694.014, making them a direct replacement or upgrade solution for woodworkers who demand consistent profile quality across moulding and edge-shaping operations.
Key Features
- Hardmetal (HW) carbide construction - provides long-lasting cutting performance and edge retention across dense hardwoods and engineered sheet materials, reducing the frequency of replacements.
- Rail and stile Type B profile - purpose-built geometry matches the raised panel profile exactly, ensuring tight, gap-free joints and a professional finish on cabinet doors and frame-and-panel assemblies.
- Precision-ground to 40x24.5x2mm dimensions - exact tolerances mean the knives seat correctly in compatible cutter heads with no adjustment, saving setup time and improving repeatability run to run.
- Sold as a matched pair - both knives in the pair are ground to the same profile, so balanced cutting is maintained on the cutter head, reducing vibration and improving surface quality.
- Compatible with CMT cutter head 694.014 - direct fitment eliminates guesswork, ensuring the knives lock securely and the profile aligns as intended for safe, efficient operation.
Why This Product
- If you already run the CMT 694.014 cutter head, these Type B knives are the correctly specified replacement pair - no shimming or modification required, keeping your machine in productive service with minimal downtime.
- The HW carbide material stands up to the abrasive demands of MDF, chipboard, and plywood in addition to solid hardwood and softwood, making these knives versatile across a typical cabinet shop's material mix.
- Profile B is matched to the raised panel stile-and-rail system, meaning the mating profiles between the stile knives and the rail knives will produce a consistent, accurate joint - critical for production runs where every door panel must match.
- Buying a precision-ground matched pair rather than individual blades ensures balanced loading on the spindle moulder cutter head, which translates directly to smoother cuts and reduced wear on the machine's spindle bearings over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cutter head are these knives compatible with?
These Type B carbide knives are designed for use with the CMT cutter head model 694.014. Using them with the correct cutter head ensures proper seating, accurate profile alignment, and safe operation on your spindle moulder or shaper.
What is the difference between a Type A and Type B rail and stile knife?
In a rail and stile system, the two knife profiles are complementary - one cuts the stile and the other cuts the rail so that the joint fits together. The 695.014B supplies the Type B profile of that pair. For a complete rail and stile joint, ensure you are using the correct mating profile knife set with your cutter head system.
What materials can these carbide knives cut?
The HW hardmetal carbide construction makes these knives suitable for profiling hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard - covering the range of materials commonly used in cabinet door and frame-and-panel production.
How many knives come in this order?
This listing includes 1 pair - 2 carbide profiled knives in total. Both knives are ground to the same Type B rail and stile profile, ensuring balanced cutting performance when installed in the compatible cutter head.
