CMT Solid Carbide Reversible Insert Knives - 30x12x1.5mm, 35 deg. Bevel, 2 Cutting Edges, 10-Pack are precision-ground throwaway-style carbide insert knives engineered for profiling, molding, grooving, and edge work on spindle moulders, profile machines, and compatible cutter head systems. Built from CMT grade K2250 solid carbide, these indexable knives deliver long-lasting performance across hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood. When one cutting edge dulls, simply rotate to the fresh second edge - no regrinding required - making this 10-piece pack a smart, cost-effective solution for production and shop environments alike.

Key Features

• K2250 Solid Carbide Material - CMT grade K2250 tungsten carbide maintains a sharp, clean cutting edge far longer than high-speed steel, reducing downtime and replacement frequency on demanding hardwood and composite material applications.
• 35 deg. Bevel Angle - The precision 35 deg. cutting angle is optimized for smooth, tear-out-free profiles on solid wood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood, delivering consistent finish quality across a wide range of workpiece materials.
• 2 Reversible Cutting Edges (Indexable Design) - Each knife provides two usable cutting edges; when the first edge wears, simply index the knife to expose a fresh edge, effectively doubling the usable life of each insert and lowering the cost per cut.
• 30x12x1.5mm Precision Dimensions - Ground to exact tolerances (30mm length x 12mm height x 1.5mm thickness) for a secure, repeatable seat in compatible cutter heads, ensuring consistent profile depth and alignment run after run.
• Throwaway Reversible Knife Format - Designed as a standard indexable throwaway insert, these knives eliminate the time and cost of resharpening - simply replace when both edges are spent and keep production moving.
• 10-Piece Pack - Stocking 10 knives at once means fewer interruptions for reordering, making this pack well-suited for high-volume shops and production runs where knife changes happen regularly.

Why This Product

• With two cutting edges per knife and 10 knives per pack, this set gives production shops a ready supply of sharp inserts without constant reordering - the indexable design means you get twice the cutting life from each individual piece.
• K2250 solid carbide construction stands up to abrasive materials like MDF and chipboard that rapidly dull less durable tooling - making these knives a practical choice wherever insert life and edge retention are a priority.
• The standard 30x12x1.5mm reversible knife format and 35 deg. bevel are compatible with a range of insert shaper systems and cutter heads, providing flexible tooling that spans multiple machines in the same shop.
• The throwaway insert concept removes resharpening from the workflow entirely - when both edges are spent, swap in a fresh knife and return to cutting immediately, with no grinding setup or downtime required.
