Product Description
CMT Wedge for Insert Knives - 46x11x9.5mm (For Cutter Head 694.005/100) is a precision-machined replacement wedge designed to securely retain insert knives within compatible CMT cutter heads. Engineered to exact dimensional tolerances, this knife-locking wedge plays a critical role in keeping cutting inserts firmly seated during operation - helping woodworkers maintain consistent performance and safe running conditions. Whether you are restoring a cutter head to full working order or stocking spare components for production environments, this replacement wedge provides the dimensional accuracy needed for reliable knife retention in CMT 694-series cutter heads.
Key Features
- Precision dimensions of 46x11x9.5mm - machined to exact tolerances so the wedge fits flush and locks insert knives firmly in place, eliminating play or movement during cuts.
- Compatible with CMT Cutter Head 694.005 and 694.100 - purpose-built fitment means no guesswork or modification needed when replacing worn or damaged wedges in these cutter heads.
- Part of the CMT 651-692-693-695 wedge family - designed to work across a defined range of CMT cutter heads and router bits with knives, making it a versatile component for shops running multiple CMT tooling systems.
- Active replacement part status - currently in production, so sourcing a direct factory replacement is straightforward and keeps downtime to a minimum.
Why This Product
- Restores your cutter head to full working condition - a worn or damaged knife wedge compromises insert retention and cut quality. Replacing it with the correct 46x11x9.5mm wedge brings the cutter head back to factory spec without replacing the entire tooling assembly.
- Exact-fit engineering for CMT 694.005 and 694.100 cutter heads - using a purpose-matched wedge rather than a generic alternative ensures the knife is held at the correct geometry, preserving cut accuracy and reducing vibration.
- Supports a broad CMT tooling ecosystem - this wedge is listed within the CMT 651-692-693-695 series, meaning it integrates consistently with other CMT cutter head and router bit knife systems already in your shop.
- Simple, targeted replacement - instead of retiring a fully functional cutter head body due to a single failed component, this wedge allows selective repair and extends the useful life of your existing tooling investment.
