CMT Solid Carbide Reversible Insert Knives - 36x12x1.5mm, 35 deg. Bevel, 2 Edges - 10-Pack are precision-ground tungsten carbide insert knives engineered for demanding profiling and molding applications on spindle moulders, profile machines, and router tables equipped with compatible cutter heads. Each knife in this 10-piece set features a 35 deg. bevel angle and two usable cutting edges, allowing woodworkers to rotate to a fresh edge when one dulls - extending productive tool life and reducing downtime. Whether you are working with hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, or plywood, these solid carbide insert knives deliver consistent, clean cuts across a wide range of sheet goods and solid wood materials.

Key Features

• Solid Carbide (K1920) Construction - tungsten carbide material grade K1920 provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance, meaning longer intervals between edge changes even when cutting abrasive materials like MDF and chipboard.
• 35 deg. Bevel Angle with 2 Cutting Edges - the precise 35 deg. bevel geometry produces clean, consistent profiles, while the dual-edge design lets you simply rotate the knife to double usable cutting life before replacement.
• 36x12x1.5mm Precision Dimensions - ground to exact tolerances (36mm total length, 12mm cutting depth, 1.5mm thickness), ensuring accurate, repeatable fit in compatible insert cutter head systems and delivering consistent profile quality cut after cut.
• Reversible Insert Design - quick edge rotation without removing and resharpening means less machine downtime and lower total cost per project compared to traditional solid knives requiring regrinding.
• 10-Piece Pack - stocking a full set of 10 knives ensures you have backup edges on hand for extended production runs, minimizing interruptions and keeping your workflow moving.
• Fits CMT 692 Series Cutter Heads and Compatible Insert Systems - direct compatibility with CMT 692 series heads and other compatible spindle moulder and profile machine cutter systems means straightforward installation without modification.

Why This Product

• Extended tool life for high-volume work - K1920 solid carbide holds a sharp edge far longer than high-speed steel alternatives, making these insert knives a practical choice for shops regularly processing hardwood, MDF, and plywood.
• Two edges per knife, 10 knives per pack - with 20 total cutting edges in a single pack, you can keep production running through long sessions without stopping to resharpen, making this set well-suited for continuous profiling and molding operations.
• Precision-ground tolerances for consistent profiles - because each knife is ground to exact 36x12x1.5mm dimensions with a 35 deg. bevel, profiles remain consistent across the entire run, reducing reject rates and rework on molding and edge profiling tasks.
• Broad material compatibility - solid carbide construction handles hardwood, softwood, MDF, chipboard, and plywood, giving one knife set the versatility to cover multiple material types on the same machine setup.
