CMT Solid Carbide Reversible Insert Knives - 15x12x1.5mm, 35 deg. Bevel, 2 Cutting Edges (10-Pack) are precision-ground throwaway carbide insert knives engineered for demanding woodworking applications including profiling, molding, grooving, and edge shaping. Built from K1920 grade solid carbide (tungsten carbide), these indexable knives deliver exceptional hardness and wear resistance when cutting hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood. The reversible design provides two fresh cutting edges per knife, extending usable life and reducing downtime between tool changes. Each pack contains 10 knives, making it easy to keep a supply on hand for continuous production work.

Key Features

• K1920 Solid Carbide Construction - tungsten carbide material provides outstanding hardness and edge retention, meaning longer intervals between knife changes and more consistent cut quality across demanding materials including hardwood and dense sheet goods.
• Reversible Throwaway Design with 2 Cutting Edges - when the first edge dulls, simply index the knife to expose a second sharp edge, effectively doubling the productive life of each insert and reducing per-cut tooling cost.
• 35 deg. Bevel Angle - this precise geometry delivers clean shearing cuts with reduced tear-out on both solid wood and engineered sheet materials such as MDF and chipboard.
• Precision Dimensions: 15x12x1.5mm (Length x Height x Thickness) - exact tolerances ground into every knife ensure repeatable profile accuracy and proper seating in compatible cutter heads without shimming or adjustment.
• 10-Piece Pack - a full pack of 10 knives keeps production lines running with minimal interruption, supporting high-volume spindle moulder and profile machine operations.
• Standard Indexable Format - the HW-K1920 specification is a widely recognized insert knife standard, making these knives compatible with a broad range of insert shaper and cutter head systems used on spindle moulders, edging machines, and router tables.

Why This Product

• Two usable cutting edges per knife mean you get twice the cutting life from each insert compared to a single-edge design - reducing tooling spend without sacrificing cut quality on hardwood, softwood, MDF, or chipboard.
• K1920 grade solid carbide is a recognized high-performance carbide specification, giving woodworkers and production shops confidence that each knife will hold an edge through repetitive profiling, grooving, rabbeting, and jointing passes.
• The 35 deg. bevel angle is a standard geometry for insert shaper knives, meaning these 15x12x1.5mm inserts fit a wide variety of compatible cutter heads used on spindle moulders and profile machines without requiring custom tooling.
• Buying in a 10-piece pack ensures a ready stock of sharp inserts on hand, eliminating costly production delays caused by waiting for replacement knives during high-volume runs.
