Product Description
CMT Pair of Profiled Knives - Radius 15/32 in. and 23/32 in. (45x34.5x2mm) by CMT are precision-ground carbide replacement knives designed for multi-radius roundover and cove profiling on spindle moulders, shapers, profiling machines, and edging machines. Sold as a matched pair, these hardwood-grade carbide knives deliver accurate, repeatable profile results across a range of wood-based materials including hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard. Whether you are shaping decorative mouldings, edge profiles, or furniture components, these knives bring professional-quality performance to high-production and workshop environments alike.
Key Features
- Multi-radius profile - R=15/32 in. and R=23/32 in.: a single pair covers two distinct roundover radii, giving you design flexibility without swapping out entire cutter head assemblies.
- Precision-ground carbide (HW) construction: the hard metal carbide material holds a sharp cutting edge longer than high-speed steel alternatives, reducing downtime for resharpening and maintaining consistent profile quality run after run.
- 45x34.5x2mm knife dimensions: engineered to fit compatible CMT spindle moulder cutter heads exactly, ensuring secure seating, minimal vibration, and clean, chatter-free profiles.
- Sold as a matched pair: both knives are ground and balanced together so profiles are symmetrical and repeatable from the very first pass - no additional matching or balancing required.
- Designed for multi-radius roundover applications: suitable for profiling hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard, making these knives a versatile choice across furniture, cabinetry, and millwork production.
Why This Product
- Need two common roundover radii without changing knives mid-job? The dual-radius design (15/32 in. and 23/32 in.) on a single pair streamlines your setup and keeps production moving efficiently.
- Carbide (HW) material means these profiling knives outlast standard steel knives in demanding, high-volume moulding and shaping operations - reducing overall tooling cost per linear foot of profile.
- The 45x34.5x2mm profile matches CMT cutter head specifications precisely, so you get a drop-in replacement that performs as intended with no modification or shimming.
- Matched-pair grinding ensures left and right knives produce identical profiles, which is critical for symmetrical mouldings, furniture edges, and any application where visual consistency matters.
