Product Description
CMT Metrik Knives 4-23/32" x 1-3/16" x 1/8" from CMT are precision-milled HSS planer and jointer knives designed for clean, accurate material removal on stationary planers and jointers. Sold as a matched 2-piece set, these 130mm blades deliver balanced cutting performance across dry softwood, hardwood, and composite sheet materials - making them a reliable replacement choice for woodworkers who demand consistent, flat surface results.
Key Features
- HSS (High-Speed Steel) construction - provides durable cutting edges that hold sharpness longer through demanding planing and jointing tasks, reducing how often knives need to be replaced or resharpened.
- Balanced and precision milled - each knife is milled to exacting tolerances, which means smoother operation, reduced vibration, and a more consistent surface finish on your workpieces.
- Mirror finish on cutting edges - produces razor-sharp edges straight out of the package, so you get cleaner cuts from the first pass with minimal tearout.
- 130mm x 30mm x 3mm dimensions (4-23/32" x 1-3/16" x 1/8") - a precise, standardized Metrik size that fits a wide range of compatible planers and jointers using this knife profile.
- 2-piece matched set - sold as a balanced pair, ensuring even cutting load across the cutterhead and eliminating the imbalance that causes chatter or uneven surface finish.
- Special dimensions available on request - if your machine requires a non-standard knife size, CMT accommodates custom configurations beyond this standard Metrik profile.
Why This Product
- HSS knives that are both balanced and precision milled mean your planer or jointer runs more smoothly and produces flatter, cleaner surfaces - ideal for finish work where surface quality matters.
- The mirror finish on cutting edges means you can install these knives and begin cutting immediately with razor-sharp performance, without additional honing or prep work on your end.
- The matched 2-piece set format ensures your cutterhead stays in balance, which protects your machine's bearings and spindle over time while maintaining cut quality.
- Standardized Metrik dimensions (130 x 30 x 3mm) make it straightforward to confirm compatibility with your existing planer or jointer before ordering, reducing the guesswork of finding the right replacement knife.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact dimensions of these Metrik knives?
These knives measure 130mm (4-23/32") in total length, 30mm (1-3/16") in cutting depth and cutting height, and 3mm (1/8") in thickness. Always verify these dimensions against your machine's knife slot specifications before installing.
What material are these knives made from, and why does it matter?
These knives are made from HSS - High-Speed Steel. HSS is known for its ability to maintain a sharp cutting edge under demanding conditions, making it well suited for both softwood and hardwood planing applications where edge retention and durability are important.
How many knives come in a package?
Each package contains 2 matched knives. Selling them as a matched pair ensures balanced weight distribution across the cutterhead, which is critical for smooth, vibration-free operation of your planer or jointer.
Can I get these knives in a different size if my machine requires non-standard dimensions?
Yes - CMT notes that special dimensions are available on request. If your planer or jointer requires a knife profile that differs from the 130 x 30 x 3mm Metrik standard, you can inquire with CMT directly about custom sizing options.
