CMT 955 Ovolo Sash Set S-8 D-30.1/31.75

CMT part no:955.302.11

The CMT 955 Ovolo Sash Set S-8 D-30.1/31.75 is a precision router bit set designed for creating true divided light doors, sash bar windows, and stile and rail constructions in fine furniture and cabinets. This set includes glazing bar ovolo bits that are bearing-guided to allow for the molding of curved frames and cove bits that can be used to produce easy-to-pull drawer handles.

Key Features:

Multi-Axis Grinding: Each cutting edge is precisely sharpened to the micron, creating a razor-sharp yet extremely durable cutting angle, resulting in a longer-lasting mirror finish.

Superior High-Strength Steel: The bits are made from high-quality, solid bar stock sourced from Switzerland, providing exceptional resistance to fatigue and abrasion.

Anti-Kickback Design: The design controls the depth of cut and minimizes the chance of kickback, reducing the risk of injury during use.

SinterHIP Hi-Density Industrial Chrome Carbide: A new process called SinterHIP (Hot Isostatic Pressing) is used to prevent material failure and increase the cutting life of the bits.

Tri-Metal Brazing: CMT's Silver-Copper-Silver brazing protects the carbide tip when cutting harder wood or wood composites, reducing the chance of failed welds.

Non-Stick Orange Shield Coating: The coating prevents the bit from heating up, reduces pitch build-up, protects against corrosion, and provides a longer bit life.

Background to CMT:

CMT has a strong foundation and reputation in the manufacturing of high-quality tools, particularly boring bits and router bits. They have continually upgraded their facilities and equipment to incorporate advanced technology, allowing them to maintain their commitment to craftsmanship and quality.

Design:
CMT focuses on engineering their products with a clear purpose in mind. They continuously perfect their designs based on years of experience and market developments. Their technical department keeps a close eye on industry advancements, utilizes state-of-the-art software, and applies their expertise to design tools worthy of the CMT brand.

Manufacturing:
CMT has heavily invested in upgrading their production processes. Their machinery is fully automated, with CNC machines operated by trained professionals ensuring precise and balanced bit bodies. Large diameter bits undergo heat forging for added strength and durability. Their brazing process is unique, providing a strong bond between steel and carbide, with a shock-absorbing effect. Carbide formulations are tailored for specific applications, and grinding and sharpening are done with extreme precision on multi-axis CNC machines.

Quality Control:
CMT places a high emphasis on quality control throughout the manufacturing process. Manual checks are performed at every step, and test cuts are made to ensure accuracy. They employ a fully automatic measuring system to evaluate tool dimensions and profile conformity without physical contact, ensuring consistent quality. This system also monitors the wear and tear on CNC machines, maintaining production accuracy.
