Product Description
CMT Solid Carbide Reversible Knives - 28x14x2mm, 30 deg. Bevel, 2-Edge, 10-Pack are precision-ground tungsten carbide insert knives engineered for consistent profiling, molding, and edge-shaping performance on spindle moulders, profile machines, and router tables equipped with compatible insert cutter heads. Each knife in this 10-pack measures 28mm in total length, 14mm in cutting depth, and 2mm in plate thickness, with a 30 deg. cutting angle that delivers clean, repeatable results across hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood. The reversible design gives each knife two usable cutting edges, so when one edge dulls, a simple rotation restores a fresh cutting surface without replacing the entire knife - maximizing cost efficiency and minimizing downtime at the machine.
Key Features
- K1920 Solid Carbide Material - tungsten carbide construction delivers significantly longer service life compared to HSS alternatives, especially when cutting abrasive materials like MDF and chipboard where edge retention is critical.
- Reversible 2-Edge Design - each knife provides two cutting edges at 30 deg., so rotating to a fresh edge extends usable life and reduces the cost-per-cut over time, making this pack highly economical for production environments.
- 30 deg. Bevel Angle - the precise 30 deg. cutting geometry produces clean shear cuts across hardwood and softwood grain, reducing tear-out and improving surface finish quality on profiled edges.
- 28x14x2mm Precision Dimensions - ground to exact tolerances with a 14mm cutting height and 2mm teeth thickness, these knives seat accurately and repeatably in compatible insert cutter head systems, ensuring profile consistency across production runs.
- 10-Piece Pack - bulk packaging keeps replacement knives on hand so production is never interrupted by a missing insert, supporting continuous operation in professional shop environments.
Why This Product
- Two cutting edges per knife mean you are never discarding a partially used insert - simply reverse the knife in the cutter head to restore a sharp 30 deg. edge, stretching your tooling budget further across demanding production schedules.
- The K1920 carbide grade is formulated to maintain edge integrity when cutting abrasive engineered materials such as MDF, chipboard, and plywood - applications where softer tool steels wear rapidly and produce degraded surface finish.
- At 28x14x2mm with a 6.4mm bore diameter, these knives are dimensioned to fit CMT-compatible insert shaper systems, making them a straightforward drop-in replacement for worn inserts without the need for custom fitting or modification.
- A 10-pack format ensures you have adequate stock for full cutter head changes, knife rotation cycles, and backup inventory - practical for shops running multi-shift profiling or moulding operations where unplanned downtime is costly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many usable cutting edges does each knife have?
Each knife in this pack has 2 cutting edges at a 30 deg. bevel angle. When one edge dulls during use, the knife can be reversed in the cutter head to expose the second fresh edge, effectively doubling the usable life of each insert before replacement is needed.
What material are these insert knives made from?
These knives are manufactured from K1920 solid carbide, a tungsten carbide grade selected for its hardness and edge retention. This material is well suited for cutting hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood - particularly in applications where abrasive engineered wood products would rapidly dull a standard high-speed steel knife.
What are the exact dimensions of each knife?
Each knife measures 28mm in total length, 14mm in diameter, 14mm in cutting depth, 14mm in cutting height, and 2mm in plate thickness, with a bore diameter of 6.4mm and a teeth thickness of 2mm. These dimensions correspond to the HW-K1920 specification and are ground to precise tolerances for accurate seating in compatible insert cutter head systems.
How many knives are included in one pack?
This listing includes 10 solid carbide reversible insert knives per pack. The multi-piece format is designed to support full cutter head loading, knife rotation cycles, and backup inventory for professional shop environments where consistent access to replacement inserts is important for uninterrupted production.
