Product Description
CMT Metrik Knives 42-1/8" x 1-3/8" x 1/8" - 2 Pack by CMT delivers precision cutting performance for stationary planers and jointers. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HS) and finished to a mirror surface, these planer blades produce razor-sharp, durable cutting edges that handle everything from dry softwood to hardwood and plywood. At 1050mm (42-1/8 in.) in total length with a 35mm cutting depth and 3mm teeth thickness, these jointer knives are ground to exact tolerances so every pass delivers a flat, consistent surface. Sold as a matched 2-piece set for balanced, vibration-free operation.
Key Features
- High-Speed Steel (HS) Construction - resists heat generated during extended planing sessions, maintaining a sharp edge longer and reducing the frequency of blade changes.
- Mirror Finish on Cutting Edges - produces razor-sharp edges right out of the package, meaning cleaner cuts with less tear-out on hardwood, softwood, and plywood surfaces.
- 1050mm (42-1/8 in.) Total Length - sized for wide stationary planers that demand full-width coverage, reducing the need for multiple passes on wide stock.
- 35mm Cutting Depth and Cutting Height - allows substantial material removal per pass without sacrificing surface quality or edge integrity.
- 3mm Teeth Thickness - provides a robust knife body that resists flex and vibration during heavy-duty planing, contributing to a smoother finished surface.
- Matched 2-Piece Set - sold as a balanced pair so both knives are replaced simultaneously, keeping the cutterhead in proper balance and preventing uneven wear or vibration.
- Special Dimensions Available on Request - the Metrik series accommodates non-standard machine configurations, making it adaptable beyond the most common planer setups.
Why This Product
- Woodworkers running wide-format stationary planers need a full-length blade that holds an edge - the 1050mm HS knife provides that coverage along with the heat resistance needed for long production runs.
- The mirror-finish cutting edges reduce surface preparation time after planing because cleaner cuts on hardwood and plywood mean less sanding before finishing.
- Replacing planer knives as a matched pair (rather than individually) is the correct way to maintain cutterhead balance - this 2-piece pack makes that straightforward and ensures you always have the right number of blades on hand.
- The 35mm cutting depth combined with a precision-ground 3mm body means these jointer and planer blades perform consistently across both softwood and hardwood species without requiring mid-job adjustments.
