Insert Tooling

Insert (indexable) tooling replaces ground knives with replaceable carbide inserts — rotate or swap a dull insert for a fresh edge in seconds, with no resharpening and no resetting. CGG Schmidt supplies insert cutterheads and the carbide inserts for cabinet door, raised panel, flooring, rebating, grooving, and surfacing work.

Why shops choose insert tooling

Insert systems mean maximum uptime and consistent results: a fresh, identical edge every change, and carbide that stands up to MDF and abrasive man-made materials. They're ideal for production shops that can't afford downtime for sharpening.

Heads and inserts that match

The head and the insert are a system — match the insert size, profile, and material to the head you run. Tell us your machine and the work you do and we'll pair the right head with the correct carbide inserts.
