CMT Profile and Counter Profile Cutter Head Set by CMT is a professional-grade spindle moulder tooling system engineered for furniture and door production on both softwood and hardwood. With a 5-13/64 in. cutter head diameter and a 1-1/4 in. bore (31.75mm), this modular set accepts five different interchangeable knife profiles, giving woodworking shops the flexibility to produce the most popular classical moulding shapes without switching between dedicated heads. Designed for spindle moulders and moulder machines, the system handles solid hardwood panels up to 22-25mm in thickness with precision and repeatability.

Key Features

• Accepts five interchangeable knife profiles - one cutter head system covers a wide range of classical and furniture-grade profile shapes, reducing tooling inventory and changeover time.
• Adjustable cutter included for grooving - the adjustable head can be used independently to cut grooves from 8mm to 15mm wide, adding a standalone grooving capability without a separate tool purchase.
• Hard metal (HW) carbide knife material - HWM carbide inserts maintain a sharp cutting edge on dense hardwoods and engineered panels, delivering longer service life between sharpenings.
• 4 spurs and 2-tooth cutting geometry - the spur configuration scores the wood fiber ahead of the main cutters, producing clean, tear-out-free profiles on solid hardwood and panel materials.
• 12 spacer rings included for heads type 1 and 2 (0.1 to 3mm range) - fine incremental spacing adjustments allow precise profile matching and depth control without custom grinding.
• 12 spacer rings included for head type 3 (0.1 to 2mm range) - dedicated ring set for the third head type ensures accurate positioning across all profile configurations.
• Operating speed range of 5,700-9,500 RPM - broad RPM window accommodates a variety of spindle moulder machine settings, supporting both lighter passes and production-rate feeds.
• 1-7/8 in. cutting height - sufficient cutting depth to produce full furniture and door profiles in a single pass, reducing setup steps and improving throughput.

Why This Product

• A single set replaces multiple dedicated cutter heads by accepting five different knife profiles - ideal for shops that produce varied furniture and door moulding work without the cost of stocking separate heads for each profile shape.
• The included adjustable cutter doubles as a standalone grooving tool for grooves from 8mm to 15mm, adding a second function to the investment without requiring additional tooling.
• The comprehensive spacer ring package - 12 rings for heads type 1 and 2, plus 12 rings for head type 3 - gives machinists the fine-tuning capability needed for exact profile registration and consistent production quality on hardwood panels up to 22-25mm thick.
• With HWM carbide inserts in both A1 and A2 knife types, plus 4-spur geometry, this set is specifically suited to hard wood and demanding panel materials where clean edges and long knife life are critical to production efficiency.
