Product Description
CMT Metrik Knives - 15-3/4" x 1-3/8" x 1/8" (400 x 35 x 3mm) - 2-Pack from CMT are precision planer and jointer knife blades engineered for woodworkers who demand consistent, clean cuts across a wide range of materials. These high-speed steel knives deliver a mirror-finish cutting edge that stays sharp through demanding production use, making them a reliable choice for stationary planers and jointers handling softwood, hardwood, and engineered panels alike.
Key Features
- High-Speed Steel (HS) construction - provides the toughness and edge retention needed for extended cutting sessions without frequent resharpening, reducing downtime and tooling cost.
- Mirror-finish ground cutting edges - produces a razor-sharp surface that results in smoother board faces right off the machine, minimizing sanding and cleanup time.
- 400mm (15-3/4") total length - spans wide planer heads to ensure full, even coverage across the board width for consistent, flat results.
- 35mm (1-3/8") cutting height - accommodates the cutting depth requirements of standard stationary planers and jointers handling common lumber thicknesses.
- 3mm (1/8") blade thickness - matches precision-machined knife slots for a secure, rattle-free fit that maintains accurate registration during cutting.
- Sold as a matched 2-pack - provides a balanced pair of knives ready for simultaneous installation on double-knife cutter heads, ensuring even stock removal and reduced vibration.
Why This Product
- The mirror-finish grinding process produces edges that are both razor sharp and extremely durable - meaning you spend more time cutting and less time swapping blades on the job.
- At exactly 400 x 35 x 3mm, these knives are engineered to precise Metrik dimensions, making them a direct-fit replacement for compatible planer and jointer cutter heads that require this exact knife profile.
- High-speed steel construction handles both dry softwood and hardwood without chipping or premature dulling, making this a versatile set for shops working with mixed lumber species.
- The 2-piece matched package means both knives are ground to the same tolerances - critical for balanced cutting performance and avoiding the vibration or snipe that mismatched knife heights can cause.
