Product Description
The CMT 541.501.00 Spacer is a precision-ground assembly component designed to fine-tune tool positioning on spindles and cutter head setups. With an outer diameter of 14.7mm, a bore diameter of 8mm, and a plate thickness of 4mm, this compact spacer delivers the exact spacing needed to align cutting tools accurately and stack cutters to a desired working width. Whether you are setting up a cutter head assembly or adjusting tool depth on a router spindle, this CMT spacer gives you repeatable, reliable results every time.
Key Features
- Outer Diameter of 14.7mm - provides a well-proportioned contact surface that seats securely against tooling components, minimizing wobble and ensuring stable tool alignment during operation.
- Bore Diameter of 8mm - fits precisely onto 8mm spindles and arbors, eliminating play between the spacer and the shaft for accurate, repeatable positioning.
- Plate Thickness of 4mm - delivers a known, fixed increment of spacing so you can stack cutters or offset tooling to an exact working width without guesswork.
- Designed for Assembly Use - purpose-built as a spacer component, making it straightforward to integrate into cutter head stacks, bore reducer setups, and multi-cutter configurations.
Why This Product
- The 4mm plate thickness gives you a defined, measurable spacing increment - ideal when you need to shift tool position or build up a cutter stack to a specific total width without custom shims or improvised solutions.
- The 8mm bore fits standard spindle diameters commonly found in cutter head and routing applications, making this spacer a direct, compatible fit rather than a workaround.
- As a dedicated CMT assembly component, this spacer is engineered to work alongside CMT tooling systems, so it integrates without modification or adaptation into existing setups.
- Precision-ground dimensions mean consistent performance across multiple uses - you can rely on the same result each time you build or re-configure a cutter head stack.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the dimensions 8/14.7 x 4mm mean for this spacer?
The 8mm figure refers to the bore diameter - the opening through which the spindle or arbor passes. The 14.7mm figure is the outer diameter of the spacer body. The 4mm figure is the plate thickness, which is the amount of spacing this component adds between tooling components when installed.
What is this spacer used for?
This spacer is used during cutter head assembly to adjust tool positioning on a spindle or to stack multiple cutters to a desired working width. It sits between tooling components on the arbor, providing a fixed 4mm spacing increment.
Is this spacer compatible with other CMT tooling components?
Yes - this spacer is designed as a CMT assembly component intended for use with CMT cutter heads and related tooling systems that use an 8mm bore spindle or arbor.
Can this spacer be used more than once or is it a single-use component?
This is a reusable precision spacer. Because it is a purpose-built assembly component with defined dimensions - 14.7mm outer diameter, 8mm bore, and 4mm thickness - it can be removed, repositioned, and reinstalled as needed when reconfiguring a cutter head stack or changing tool setups.
