Product Description
The CMT 695.999.23 Wedge for Knives (A1) is a precision replacement wedge designed to securely retain insert knives within the CMT cutter head 694.015. Measuring 23x11x9.5mm, this A1-series wedge is part of CMT's dedicated line of clamping components for cutter heads and router bits with knives - ensuring knife stability during operation and consistent, repeatable cutting performance. Whether you are refurbishing a worn cutter head or replacing a damaged clamping wedge, this part restores the secure knife retention your tooling system depends on.
Key Features
- Precise A1 wedge dimensions of 23x11x9.5mm - machined to exact tolerances so the wedge seats correctly in the 694.015 cutter head body, preventing knife movement during cutting passes.
- Direct compatibility with CMT cutter head 694.015 - eliminates guesswork when sourcing a replacement, so you can restore the cutter head to full working condition without modification.
- Cutting height of 11mm - corresponds to the knife geometry supported by the 694.015 cutter head, maintaining proper knife exposure and cutting depth consistency.
- Part of CMT's 651-692-693-695 wedge series - a coordinated family of clamping wedges for cutter heads and router bits with knives, meaning compatible replacement parts are readily identifiable within the same system.
- Total length of 3/8" - compact profile fits within the cutter head slot without interfering with surrounding components, preserving balanced rotation.
Why This Product
- Exact-fit replacement for the 694.015 cutter head - rather than searching for a generic wedge that may require fitting or shimming, this part is specified for one cutter head, making restoration straightforward and reliable.
- Restores knife security in a cutter head - a worn or damaged clamping wedge compromises knife retention and cutting quality; replacing it with the correct A1 wedge brings the tool back to its intended clamping performance.
- Part of a recognized wedge family (651-692-693-695 series) - if your shop uses multiple CMT cutter heads or router bits with knives, this wedge system provides a consistent, organized approach to replacement parts management.
- Compact 23x11x9.5mm geometry - the specific A1 wedge sizing means it occupies precisely the correct volume within the knife slot, supporting uniform clamping force across the insert knife edge for consistent cut results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cutter head is the CMT 695.999.23 wedge designed for?
This wedge is specifically designed for use with the CMT cutter head model 694.015. It is not a universal wedge - the A1 designation and 23x11x9.5mm dimensions correspond to the knife slot geometry of that specific cutter head model.
What does the A1 designation mean for this wedge?
The A1 designation identifies the wedge type and geometry within CMT's cutter head accessory system. It specifies the exact profile - 23x11x9.5mm - needed to correctly clamp insert knives inside the 694.015 cutter head body. Using the correct wedge type ensures proper knife retention and balanced tool performance.
Is this wedge part of a larger product family?
Yes. The 695.999.23 belongs to the CMT 651-692-693-695 series, which covers wedges for cutter heads and router bits with knives. This family approach means that if your shop uses multiple CMT tooling systems with insert knives, replacement wedges follow a consistent part numbering structure for straightforward identification.
What are the key dimensions I should verify before ordering this wedge?
The critical dimensions are 23mm x 11mm x 9.5mm (the A1 wedge body), a cutting height of 11mm, a diameter reference of 29/32", and a total length of 3/8". Confirm that your existing cutter head is the CMT 694.015 model and that your current wedge matches these measurements before ordering a replacement.
