9mm x 30mm x 1.5mm Solid Carbide Insert Knife

Solid Carbide Insert Knife For Precise Cutting

solid carbide insert knife describes this 9mm x 30mm x 1.5mm Amana Tool insert, which provides a compact cutting edge that suits router and cutter head bodies designed for this size. The solid carbide construction delivers a hard cutting edge, so the knife maintains its geometry as it works in wood-based materials. The knife has 4 cutting edges, allowing rotation of the insert to a fresh edge, which supports consistent cut quality over multiple setups. All knives have a 35 degree bevel, creating the cutting angle needed by the matching insert bodies for general woodworking passes. The manufacturer describes this "G" grade as a 35 degree general purpose wood, chipboard, plywood option, so it is suited to common shop sheet goods and solid wood in that range of materials.

Key Indexable Replacement Knife Details For Pros

• The 9mm x 30mm x 1.5mm size fits tools designed around this insert dimension, so the knife seats correctly in compatible insert straight bits, trim bits, and cutter heads.
• 4 cutting edges on the knife let users index the insert as edges wear, which helps maintain clean cuts while extending the practical use between knife changes.
• The solid carbide construction provides a hard, wear-resistant cutting edge, supporting repeatable performance when cutting wood, chipboard, plywood, MDF, and solid surface in typical shop conditions.
• All knives feature a 35 degree bevel, aligning the cutting geometry with matched Amana Tool insert bodies so the assembled tool cuts as designed without altering the cutting angle.
• The "G" 35 degree general purpose wood, chipboard, plywood designation defines the intended material range, helping users apply this knife to those common substrates in cabinet and woodworking work.

Installation Fit Within Insert Tool Bodies

The AMA-30 insert knife is specified as 30 x 9 x 1.5mm, so insert straight bits, trim bits, and cutter heads listed for this knife are built with pockets that match those dimensions. The 35 degree bevel is ground into the knife, which means the cutting edge geometry is established by the insert itself when it is clamped into an appropriate body. The 4 cutting edges share the same bevel, so rotating the insert maintains the same angle, supporting predictable cutting behavior every time the knife is indexed to a new edge.

Using The AMA-30 Knife In Shop Workflows

Where This Solid Carbide Insert Knife Works

The AMA-30 solid carbide insert knife is designed as an indexable replacement knife for Amana Tool insert straight bits, trim bits, and insert cutter heads, so it slots into those tools as the cutting element. The tool application list specifies insert straight bits RC-1080, RC-1082, RC-1154, RC-2080, RC-2082, and RC-2154, which rely on this knife size and bevel for their cutting action. It also lists insert trim bits RC-1000, RC-1008, RC-1010, RC-1012, RC-1014, RC-1024, RC1026, RC-2257, and RC-2258, so this knife functions as the replaceable edge for those profiles. Insert cutter heads 61288, 61292, 61340, 61360, 61362, 61460, 61462, 61470, 61472, 61480, and 61482 are also specified, meaning the AMA-30 knife sits in those heads to cut wood, chipboard, and plywood within their designed operations.

Why This Knife Supports Consistent Results

The 4 cutting edges on the AMA-30 knife give multiple usable edges on the same insert, which allows indexing the knife as one edge dulls so the tool returns to the same 35 degree geometry. Because all knives have that 35 degree bevel, the cutting angle remains consistent across straight bits, trim bits, and cutter heads designed for this insert, supporting uniform surface finish once an acceptable setup is dialed in. The "G" 35 degree general purpose wood, chipboard, plywood grade definition aligns the knife with common cabinet and furniture substrates, which helps maintain expected cut behavior when moving between those materials. The solid carbide material combines with the specified bevel and dimensions so that each listed Amana Tool body uses the same AMA-30 knife, simplifying edge replacement across multiple insert straight bits, trim bits, and cutter heads in the same shop.

Practical Questions About The AMA-30 Insert Knife

Selecting The AMA-30 Knife For Your Tools

The AMA-30 solid carbide insert knife from Amana Tool combines a 9mm x 30mm x 1.5mm format, 4 cutting edges, and a 35 degree bevel tailored to general purpose wood, chipboard, and plywood work. When your listed insert straight bits, trim bits, or cutter heads call out AMA-30, this knife provides the specified cutting geometry for those tools, supporting consistent performance across your shop.
