Product Description
CMT Pair of Profiled Knives - Radii 3/16 in. and 25/64 in. (25x24.8x2mm) by CMT are precision-ground carbide profiling knives designed for multiradius roundover work on spindle moulders, shapers, and profiling machines. Each pair delivers two matched radii in a single set, allowing woodworkers and production shops to create consistent, repeatable edge profiles in hardwood, softwood, MDF, plywood, and chipboard without swapping tooling between passes. The 25x24.8x2mm knife dimensions are engineered to seat accurately in compatible CMT cutter heads, making these knives a reliable choice for moulding, edge shaping, and decorative profiling applications.
Key Features
- Multiradius profile - 3/16 in. and 25/64 in. radii in one pair - gives operators two distinct roundover/cove profiles from a single set of knives, reducing tooling changeovers and saving time on the job.
- Carbide (HW) material - tungsten carbide construction delivers hardness and edge retention well beyond standard high-speed steel, meaning longer intervals between sharpenings and more consistent profile quality over extended production runs.
- Precision-ground profile at 25x24.8x2mm - tight dimensional tolerances ensure each knife seats correctly in the cutter head and replicates the intended profile exactly, producing clean, accurate results on every pass.
- Sold as a matched pair - both knives are included in a single purchase, so the cutter head is always balanced and ready to run without sourcing individual blades separately.
- 5mm - 10mm radius range - the dual-radius geometry covers a practical span of roundover and cove profiles, making this set versatile across a range of moulding and edge-shaping tasks.
Why This Product
- For shops that run multiradius profiles regularly, having both a 3/16 in. and a 25/64 in. radius ground into a single matched pair eliminates the need to stock two separate knife sets for common roundover and cove work.
- Carbide (HW) construction means these knives hold a sharper cutting edge longer than softer alternatives, which translates to better surface finish on hardwood and dense materials like MDF and chipboard over time.
- The 25x24.8x2mm format is a standard CMT profiling knife size, so these knives are designed to drop into compatible CMT spindle moulder cutter heads without modification or custom fitting.
- Buying a factory-matched pair ensures both knives in the cutter head carry identical profiles, which is critical for balanced cutting and smooth, tear-free results on profiling and moulding machines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What profiles do these knives cut?
These knives are ground for multiradius roundover and cove work, with one knife carrying a 3/16 in. radius profile and the other a 25/64 in. radius profile. Both are included in the pair.
What material are these knives made from?
The knives are manufactured from carbide, designated HW grade. Carbide provides superior hardness and edge retention compared to standard steel knives, supporting longer production runs and cleaner cuts across dense materials such as MDF and hardwood.
What are the knife dimensions?
Each knife measures 25mm in diameter, 24.8mm in cutting height, and 2mm in total length. These dimensions are designed for use with compatible CMT spindle moulder cutter heads that accept this standard profiling knife format.
Are both knives included, or do I need to purchase them individually?
Both knives are included in a single purchase. The product ships as a complete matched pair of 2 pieces, so no additional individual knife purchases are required to outfit a cutter head.
