Product Description
CMT Solid Carbide Reversible Insert Knives - 24.7x12x1.5mm, 35 deg. Bevel, 2 Cutting Edges, 10-Pack are precision-ground throwaway-style carbide insert knives engineered for demanding profiling, grooving, and molding work. Built from K1920 grade tungsten carbide, these indexable knives deliver consistent cutting performance across hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood. With two usable cutting edges per knife and a 35 deg. bevel geometry, each insert can be rotated to a fresh edge when one dulls - maximizing the value of every piece in the pack.
Key Features
- K1920 Solid Carbide Material - tungsten carbide construction provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance, extending cutting life significantly compared to high-speed steel alternatives, especially in abrasive materials like MDF and chipboard.
- 2 Cutting Edges Per Knife at 35 deg. Bevel - reversible design means each insert has two usable cutting edges, so you get double the cutting life per knife before replacement is needed, reducing downtime and tooling costs.
- Standard Indexable Knife Format - the throwaway/reversible knife design allows quick edge rotation or replacement without regrinding, keeping production running with minimal interruption.
- Precision Dimensions: 24.7mm Length x 12mm Height x 1.5mm Thickness - tight dimensional tolerances ensure consistent seating in compatible cutter head systems, delivering repeatable profile accuracy cut after cut.
- 10-Piece Pack - multiple inserts included in a single pack means you have replacement edges on hand when you need them, reducing the risk of production delays from running out of tooling.
Why This Product
- The K1920 carbide grade is suited to profiling and molding work across a wide range of wood-based materials - from dense hardwoods to manufactured panels like MDF and chipboard - making this a versatile insert for shops that work with multiple material types.
- The reversible two-edge design solves a common tooling cost problem: instead of discarding a knife after one edge dulls, operators simply rotate to the second cutting edge, effectively halving the per-cut tooling cost compared to single-edge inserts.
- At 1.5mm thickness and 24.7x12mm face dimensions, these knives conform to the standard reversible insert knife format (HW-K1920), making them a straightforward fit for compatible insert cutter head systems already in use in many shops.
- Buying in a 10-piece pack ensures a ready supply of fresh cutting edges, reducing the frequency of reordering and keeping tooling inventory stocked for continuous production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cutting edges does each knife have, and how do I get the most out of them?
Each knife has 2 cutting edges at a 35 deg. bevel. When the first edge dulls, simply remove the insert from the cutter head, rotate it to present the second fresh edge, and reinstall. This reversible design means you double the usable life of each individual knife before it needs to be discarded.
What are the exact dimensions of these insert knives?
The knives measure 24.7mm in total length, 12mm in cutting height, and 1.5mm in thickness. These dimensions are expressed in the standard L (length) x H (height) x K (thickness) format for reversible insert knives.
What materials can these carbide insert knives be used on?
The K1920 solid carbide grade is appropriate for cutting hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood - covering the full range of common wood-based materials used in profiling, grooving, molding, and edging operations.
What does the K1920 carbide grade designation mean for cutting performance?
K1920 refers to the specific tungsten carbide grade used in these insert knives. This grade is formulated to balance hardness and toughness for woodworking applications, providing extended edge life when cutting wood-based materials compared to softer tooling materials.
