CMT Solid Carbide Reversible Insert Knives (2 cutting edges, 35 deg. bevel) - 9.6x12x1.5mm - 10-Pack are precision-ground throwaway-style indexable knives engineered for demanding profiling and shaping operations. Built from K1920 grade solid carbide, these reversible insert knives deliver extended cutting life on hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood. The two-edge design means you can rotate to a fresh cutting edge when one dulls, stretching the value of every pack and reducing downtime at the machine. Whether you are running a spindle moulder, profile machine, edging machine, or a router table fitted with a compatible cutter head, these solid carbide insert knives bring consistent, repeatable results across a wide range of shaping and molding applications.

Key Features

• K1920 solid carbide construction - tungsten carbide grade K1920 provides superior hardness and wear resistance, so these knives hold their edge longer than high-speed steel alternatives when cutting hardwood, softwood, MDF, and chipboard.
• Reversible two-edge design (35 deg. bevel) - both cutting edges on every knife can be used before disposal, effectively doubling the cutting life per knife and reducing per-edge tooling cost in high-volume shaping work.
• Precision-ground indexable format - each knife is ground to exact tolerances referenced in the HW-K1920 standard, ensuring consistent profile quality and predictable seating in compatible cutter heads every time you index to a new edge.
• Compact 9.6x12x1.5mm geometry - the slim 1.5mm thickness and 9.6mm length allow these knives to fit tightly within indexable cutter head pockets, minimizing runout and supporting smooth, chatter-free cuts in profiling and grooving applications.
• 10-piece pack quantity - a full 10 knives per pack means you have ample replacement inventory on hand to keep production running without repeated restocking interruptions.

Why This Product

• Solid carbide construction in K1920 grade means these knives resist wear in abrasive materials like MDF and chipboard where softer tooling dulls quickly - making them a reliable choice for shops processing engineered wood products alongside solid timber.
• The reversible, throwaway knife format eliminates sharpening time entirely - simply rotate to the second 35 deg. cutting edge or swap in a fresh knife from the 10-piece pack and continue machining without sending tooling out for regrinding.
• With precise 9.6x12x1.5mm dimensions conforming to the HW-K1920 standard, these knives are designed as direct indexable replacements for compatible cutter head systems used on spindle moulders, profile machines, edging machines, and router tables - reducing compatibility guesswork.
• Buying in a 10-pack ensures that both cutting edges across all 10 knives are available as a ready stock of 20 total cutting edges, giving production environments a meaningful buffer before the next replenishment order is needed.
