Carbide V Groove Insert Knife For Precise Cuts

CARBIDE V GROOVE INSERT KNIFE 29X9X1.5MM is an Amana Tool carbide insert knife designed for use in bits, blades, and cutters as a replacement part, so it restores cutting performance on compatible tooling. The knife size of 30 x 9 x 1.5 mm sets a consistent cutting profile, which helps keep cut geometry uniform across multiple tools using this insert. All knives have a 35 degree bevel, creating a defined cutting angle that supports clean material removal in woodworking tasks. The 4 cutting edges on each insert allow the knife to be rotated as edges wear, so users can maintain a sharp edge while keeping downtime and changeout frequency under control. New grades are available for different material types such as softwood/hardwood, MDF/solid surface and micro-finish for general purpose, so one part number can serve varied shop materials when matched to the appropriate grade.

Key Insert Knife Details That Support Your Work

• The carbide construction in this Amana Tool insert knife provides a hard cutting edge, which supports consistent performance across production runs when used in appropriate material types.
• The 4 cutting edges on the knife give multiple indexed positions, so the same insert can be rotated to a fresh edge and keep profiles sharp over longer use cycles.
• The 35 degree bevel on all knives sets a fixed cutting angle, which helps deliver predictable chip formation and surface finish from one setup to the next.
• The 30 x 9 x 1.5 mm size defines the insert footprint, allowing it to seat correctly in compatible tool bodies and maintain accurate cutting geometry during rotation.
• The general purpose "G" 35 degree designation for wood, chipboard, and plywood supports broad use on common shop sheet goods and solid stock with a single edge design.
• The availability of new grades for softwood/hardwood, MDF/solid surface, and micro-finish general purpose lets users match knife grade to material demands for more controlled results.

Insert Knife Fit With Straight, Trim, And Cutter Tools

This RCK-56 carbide insert knife is specified for insert straight bits RC-1080, RC-1082, RC-1154, RC-2080, RC-2082, and RC-2154, so it works within those tool bodies to restore their original cutting action. The knife is also listed for insert trim bits RC-1000, RC-1008, RC-1010, RC-1012, RC-1014, RC-1024, RC1026, RC-2257, and RC-2258, tying its geometry directly to trim operations using those bits. In addition, it is identified for insert cutter heads 61288, 61292, 61340, 61360, 61362, 61460, 61462, 61470, 61472, 61480, and 61482, so it serves as the replaceable cutting element in those heads. Using the specified knife size and bevel in these tools keeps cutting heights, profiles, and chip loads aligned with the original tooling design.

How This RCK-56 Knife Works In Real Jobs

Where This Amana Tool Insert Knife Is Applied

The Amana Tool RCK-56 insert knife is identified for use in insert straight bits such as RC-1080, RC-1082, RC-1154, RC-2080, RC-2082, and RC-2154, so it supports straight cutting and grooving tasks wherever those bits are used. Its role in insert trim bits RC-1000, RC-1008, RC-1010, RC-1012, RC-1014, RC-1024, RC1026, RC-2257, and RC-2258 ties it directly to trimming operations on edges and profiles handled by those specific tools. The same insert is also matched to insert cutter heads 61288, 61292, 61340, 61360, 61362, 61460, 61462, 61470, 61472, 61480, and 61482, so it functions as the cutting element for moulding, surfacing, or profiling tasks assigned to those heads. The "G" 35 degree general purpose wood, chipboard, and plywood designation means the knife is suited to these common shop materials, aligning its cutting angle and edge design with everyday cabinet and panel work. With new grades available for softwood/hardwood, MDF/solid surface, and micro-finish general purpose, the same knife platform addresses diverse board types encountered in production environments.

Why Knife Geometry And Edges Matter For Consistency

The 30 x 9 x 1.5 mm knife size and carbide construction give a stable insert profile, which helps tool bodies like RC-series bits and 61xxx cutter heads hold alignment and balance during operation. All knives having a 35 degree bevel sets a consistent attack angle, which supports predictable feed response and surface quality when switching between compatible tools that share this insert. The 4 cutting edges on each RCK-56 knife extend useful life because each edge can serve as a working face, so the same insert can deliver multiple fresh cutting edges before replacement. The general purpose "G" 35 degree rating for wood, chipboard, and plywood links bevel geometry directly to these materials, helping produce controlled cuts in both solid and panel products. When users select from the new grades specified for softwood/hardwood, MDF/solid surface, or micro-finish general purpose, the edge material is tuned to those substrates, supporting better finish and tool performance within the stated material group.

Common Questions About The RCK-56 Insert Knife

Select This RCK-56 Knife For Matching Amana Tools

The Amana Tool RCK-56 CARBIDE V GROOVE INSERT KNIFE 29X9X1.5MM combines a 30 x 9 x 1.5 mm size, 35 degree bevel, and 4 cutting edges to support repeatable cutting results in specified RC-series bits and 61xxx cutter heads. Its general purpose "G" 35 degree rating for wood, chipboard, and plywood, along with new grades for softwood/hardwood, MDF/solid surface, and micro-finish general purpose, ties edge design directly to defined material groups. Selecting this knife where those part numbers and materials apply keeps tooling close to its original design performance.
