Product Description
CMT Pair of Knives (C) for Rail and Stile - 40x24.5x2mm are precision-ground carbide profiling knives designed for rail and stile joinery work on spindle moulders, shapers, profiling machines, and edging machines. Engineered from tungsten carbide (HW grade) material, these Profile C knives deliver clean, repeatable profiles in hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard. Supplied as a matched pair, they are purpose-built for use with the CMT 694.014 cutter head, making them a direct, accurate replacement for raised panel and frame-and-panel profiling applications.
Key Features
- Tungsten carbide (HW) construction - provides exceptional edge retention and durability when profiling dense hardwoods, engineered sheet goods, and composites, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
- Profile C rail and stile geometry - precisely matches the raised panel profile required for traditional frame-and-panel door and cabinet construction, ensuring tight-fitting, accurate joints every time.
- 40x24.5x2mm knife dimensions - dimensionally accurate to fit the CMT 694.014 cutter head without modification, delivering a secure, repeatable setup.
- Sold as a matched pair - both knives in the set are ground to identical profile specifications, so balanced cutting and consistent results are achieved from the first pass.
- Precision-ground profile - exact profile grinding means the knife reproduces the same cut geometry pass after pass, supporting high-volume production with minimal waste.
Why This Product
- Designed specifically as Profile C knives for the CMT 694.014 cutter head, these replacements eliminate guesswork about fitment and profile compatibility - you get a direct, verified match.
- Carbide (HW) material maintains a sharp, clean cutting edge far longer than high-speed steel alternatives, which is especially valuable when working repeatedly with abrasive sheet materials like MDF and chipboard.
- The 40x24.5x2mm format suits a wide range of spindle moulder and shaper setups, making these knives a practical choice for woodworking shops running frame-and-panel or raised panel door production.
- Purchasing as a matched pair ensures both knives wear evenly and are replaced together, preserving cutter head balance and profile accuracy over the life of the tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cutter head are these knives compatible with?
These Profile C knives are designed for use with the CMT 694.014 cutter head. The 40x24.5x2mm dimensions are matched specifically to that head, so no modification is needed for a proper fit.
What does "Profile C" mean for rail and stile work?
Profile C refers to a specific rail and stile profile geometry used in frame-and-panel and raised panel door construction. It determines the shape of the cut produced along the edge of rails and stiles, which must match the corresponding panel profile for a tight-fitting joint.
What materials can these carbide knives cut?
The HW (tungsten carbide) construction makes these knives suitable for profiling hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard - covering the full range of materials commonly encountered in cabinetry and door production.
How many knives are included in one order?
Each order includes 2 knives - supplied as 1 matched pair. Both knives are ground to the same Profile C specification, ensuring balanced cutting performance when installed in the cutter head.
