CMT Solid Carbide Reversible Insert Knives - 30x12x1.5mm, 35 deg. Bevel, 2 Cutting Edges, 10-Pack are precision-ground throwaway carbide knives engineered for indexable cutter head systems used in spindle moulding, profile machining, and edge-forming operations. Built from K1920 grade solid carbide, these reversible insert knives deliver consistent cutting performance across hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood. Each knife features two 35 deg. cutting edges, so when one edge dulls, simply rotate the insert to expose a fresh cutting surface - extending the useful life of every knife in the pack.

Key Features

• K1920 Solid Carbide Material - tungsten carbide construction provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance, meaning longer intervals between insert changes and lower tooling cost per linear foot of material profiled.
• Reversible Throwaway Design with 2 Cutting Edges - each knife carries two usable 35 deg. edges, so you effectively double the cutting life of every insert before replacement is needed.
• 35 deg. Bevel Angle - the geometry is optimized for clean shearing action across a variety of wood-based materials, reducing tear-out on hardwood and minimizing fuzzing on MDF and chipboard edges.
• Precision Dimensions: 30x12x1.5mm - ground to exact tolerances (30mm length, 12mm cutting depth, 1.5mm thickness), ensuring repeatable profile accuracy and a consistent fit in compatible indexable cutter heads.
• 10-Piece Pack - stocking 10 knives at once reduces downtime from running out of inserts mid-job and keeps production moving on high-volume profiling and moulding runs.

Why This Product

• For woodworking shops that run spindle moulders or profile machines continuously, the reversible two-edge design means fewer production stops - rotate to a fresh 35 deg. edge at the machine rather than waiting on a resharpen cycle.
• The K1920 carbide grade is matched to demanding applications in solid wood and engineered panels alike, making these knives a single versatile insert solution for mixed-material production environments.
• At 30x12x1.5mm with a consistent 1.5mm thickness, these inserts fit indexable cutter head systems that call for this specific knife format, eliminating fitment guesswork when replacing worn inserts.
• Purchasing in a 10-piece pack provides an on-hand supply of matched carbide inserts, so edge quality stays consistent across long production runs without switching between different batches of knives.
