The CMT 235.006.07 Cove Cutter Head is a precision-engineered 7-inch diameter shaper cutter designed to produce curved cove profiles on a table saw or router table. Built with 6 carbide teeth and a 1/2-inch shank, this cutter head pairs directly with the CMT 800.523.11 Crown Molding Set to deliver an almost infinite variety of custom cove shapes and sizes - making it an essential tool for woodworkers who need flexible, professional-grade crown molding capabilities. By adjusting the angle of a pair of angled fences and varying the cutter height, you can dial in exactly the cove profile your project demands without swapping out tools.

Key Features

• 7-inch cutting diameter - provides a generous sweep for producing wide, smooth cove profiles suited to crown molding and decorative millwork applications.
• 6 carbide teeth (HW material) - hard tungsten carbide cutting edges stay sharp through hardwood, softwood, and MDF stock, reducing the need for frequent resharpening and extending tool life.
• 1/2-inch shank and 15.87mm bore - fits standard router table collets and table saw arbor setups for stable, centered mounting with minimal runout.
• 3/8-inch radius - delivers a consistent, defined cove arc that serves as the foundation profile for crown molding assembly when combined with the 800.523.11 set.
• Compatible with angled fence cove cutting technique - mounting this cutter on a table saw and adjusting the fence angle unlocks an almost infinite variety of cove shapes and sizes without requiring specialty equipment.
• Works on both table saw and router table - versatile machine compatibility means you can integrate this cutter into your existing shop setup rather than investing in dedicated machinery.

Why This Product

• Designed specifically to work in tandem with the CMT 800.523.11 Crown Molding Set, this cove cutter head completes the system needed to create full custom crown molding profiles - rather than relying on a single router bit, the combined approach gives woodworkers far greater design flexibility.
• The adjustable angled fence method means a single 7-inch cove cutter head can produce a near-limitless range of cove shapes simply by changing fence angle and cutter height, eliminating the need to purchase multiple profile-specific cutters.
• With 6 carbide (HW) teeth on a rigid 7-inch head, this cutter handles hardwood and softwood crown molding stock cleanly and consistently, producing smooth cove surfaces that minimize sanding and finishing time.
• Compatibility with both a table saw and a router table gives shops of different configurations the ability to use this tool without purchasing additional equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machine is this cove cutter head designed to be used on?

This cutter head is designed for use on a table saw and a router table. On the table saw, it mounts easily and is used in conjunction with a pair of angled fences to produce cove profiles for crown molding.

Does this cutter head work as a standalone cove cutting tool, or does it require other components?

While the cutter head can be used independently for cove profiling on a table saw or router table, it is specifically designed to pair with the CMT 800.523.11 Crown Molding Set. Using both together allows you to create complete custom crown molding profiles by combining the cove shape with the profiles produced by the six router bits in that set.

How are different cove shapes achieved with this single cutter head?

By changing the angle of the paired angled fences and adjusting the cutter height on the table saw, an almost infinite variety of cove shapes and sizes can be produced with this one cutter head - without the need for multiple profile-specific tools.

What is the bore diameter of this cutter head, and how does it mount?

The cutter head has a bore diameter of 15.87mm and uses a 1/2-inch shank, allowing it to mount on compatible table saw arbors and router table collets for a secure, centered fit during operation.
