Product Description
CMT Solid Carbide Reversible Insert Knives - 7.5x12x1.5mm, 35 deg. Bevel, 2 Cutting Edges, 10-Pack are precision-ground throwaway-style carbide knives engineered for insert cutter heads used in spindle moulding, profile machining, and edge-forming operations. Built from K1920 grade solid carbide, these indexable knives deliver long cutting life on hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood. The reversible design means each knife provides two usable cutting edges at a 35 deg. angle, extending the service life of every piece in the pack. Woodworking professionals and production shops rely on these CMT carbide insert knives for consistent, repeatable profile quality across high-volume runs.
Key Features
- K1920 Solid Carbide Material - tungsten carbide grade K1920 provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance, reducing the frequency of knife changes during demanding production work on hardwood, MDF, and engineered sheet goods.
- Reversible 2-Edge Design - each knife carries 2 cutting edges at a 35 deg. bevel angle, so when the first edge dulls, simply index to the fresh edge rather than replacing the knife - doubling the usable life of each piece.
- Throwaway/Indexable Format - the standard reversible throwaway format means no resharpening is required, keeping downtime minimal and maintaining a consistent cutting profile every time a fresh edge is indexed.
- Precision Dimensions - 7.5x12x1.5mm - ground to exact tolerances (7.5mm length, 12mm height, 1.5mm thickness), ensuring a secure, repeatable fit in compatible insert cutter head bodies and predictable profile results job after job.
- 10-Piece Pack - supplied in a pack of 10 knives, giving production environments an immediate supply of replacement edges to keep operations running without interruption.
Why This Product
- For shops running spindle moulders or profile machines with insert cutter heads, these 7.5x12x1.5mm solid carbide knives provide a direct-fit solution that eliminates the cost and downtime associated with traditional resharpening.
- The 35 deg. bevel angle and K1920 carbide grade are matched to deliver clean cuts across a broad range of wood-based materials - from dense hardwood to abrasive MDF and chipboard - without the rapid edge degradation common with less robust materials.
- Two cutting edges per knife mean each piece in the 10-pack can be indexed once before disposal, effectively giving 20 fresh cutting edges per pack and improving cost-per-edge value in high-output environments.
- The standard reversible knife format conforms to the HW-K1920 specification, making these knives a reliable, interchangeable choice for insert shaper systems that accept this knife size and geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cutting edges does each knife provide?
Each knife in this pack has 2 cutting edges ground at a 35 deg. bevel angle. When one edge becomes dull, the knife can be reversed to expose the second fresh edge before the knife is discarded - no resharpening required.
What are the exact dimensions of these insert knives?
These knives measure 7.5mm in length, 12mm in height (cutting depth), and 1.5mm in thickness. These dimensions correspond to the L x H x K format used for standard reversible insert knife specifications.
What materials can these solid carbide knives cut?
The K1920 grade solid carbide construction is suited for cutting hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood - materials commonly processed on spindle moulders, profile machines, and router tables equipped with compatible insert cutter heads.
How many knives are included per pack, and what knife type is this?
Each pack contains 10 solid carbide knives. These are standard reversible throwaway knives in the HW-K1920 specification, designed for use with compatible insert cutter head systems that accept the 7.5x12x1.5mm knife size.
