Key Features
- Alloyed Steel Construction - provides durability and extended cutting life, reducing the frequency of knife replacements in high-use shop settings.
- Knife Size: 1-37/64" x 5/32" (40x4mm) - a standardized KSS 40x4mm format that fits CMT universal cutter heads and other insert shaper systems accepting this knife size, maximizing tooling compatibility.
- Sold as a Pair (2 knives) - both knives are included together so you can set up balanced cuts immediately without sourcing individual replacements.
- Designed for Universal Cutter Heads - integrates with the CMT Insert Shaper System and compatible cutter heads, giving you flexibility to swap profiles quickly without purchasing entirely new tooling.
- Long-Lasting Performance - engineered for consistent profile output over extended use, helping maintain smooth surface finishes on moldings and profiled edges run after run.
- Profile Knife Number 107 - a specific, identifiable profile number that makes reordering and system organization straightforward in multi-profile shop setups.
Why This Product
- The KSS 40x4mm knife format is part of a broad family of profile knives for the CMT universal cutter head system, so woodworkers can build out a library of profiles without needing multiple incompatible tooling platforms.
- Alloyed steel construction means these insert shaper knives hold up under repeated use on hardwood, softwood, MDF, and chipboard - materials commonly encountered in cabinet door making, frame and panel work, and edge profiling.
- Purchasing a complete pair ensures balanced cutting right out of the box, which is critical for smooth, chatter-free profiles on a spindle moulder or profile and edging machine.
- Profile number 107 is a clearly identified option within CMT's range, making it simple to match, replace, or expand your set of insert shaper knives as your profiling needs grow.
