• decorative mouldings,
• round-over profiles,
• chamfers,
• profile and counter-profile joints,
• groove and tongue joints,
• handrail profiles,
• raised panels,
• door and window joints,

• grooved profiles.

40 mm knives are particularly appreciated because they fit the majority of multi-profile spindle moulder cutter blocks available on the market. They represent an ideal balance between versatility, precision and ease of use.

Compatibility of 40 mm spindle moulder knives

Compatible with 40 mm and 50 mm multi-profile cutter blocks

40 mm spindle moulder knives can be mounted on both 40 mm multi-profile cutter blocks and certain 50 mm multi-profile cutter blocks. This versatility allows users to create a wide variety of profiles and machining configurations using the same cutter block.

Multi-profile cutter blocks are highly appreciated in woodworking workshops because they allow quick profile changes without replacing the complete cutter block assembly.

Important information regarding safety cutter blocks

When using a safety spindle moulder cutter block, it is essential to use only 40 mm knives and matching limiters/back cutters specifically designed for the cutter block’s clamping system and safety requirements.

The limiter or back cutter plays a crucial role:

• holding the knife securely,
• limiting cutting depth,
• reducing kickback risks,
• improving machining stability.

It is therefore extremely important to follow the cutter block manufacturer’s recommendations and never install incompatible knives on a safety cutter block.

Why choose Swiss-made Flury Werkzeuge spindle moulder knives?

Superior steel quality

Unlike many low-cost Asian steel spindle moulder knives available on the market, Flury Werkzeuge knives are manufactured from premium-quality steel specifically designed for demanding woodworking applications.

This high-quality steel provides several major advantages:

• longer edge retention,
• cleaner cutting performance,
• reduced overheating,
• less tear-out in wood fibres,
• longer service life,
• higher finishing quality,
• more precise sharpening.

In woodworking, knife quality plays a decisive role. Poor-quality steel quickly loses its sharpness, generates more heat and produces lower-quality finishes, especially when machining hardwoods or difficult timber species.

Swiss-made spindle moulder knives from Flury Werkzeuge stand out thanks to their manufacturing precision and consistent machining quality, highly appreciated by professional woodworkers.

Superior wood finishing quality

A high-quality HSS spindle moulder knife produces much cleaner finishes on solid wood, hardwoods, softwoods and engineered wood panels.

Thanks to their cutting quality, Flury knives help reduce:

• wood fibre tear-out,
• burn marks,
• vibrations,
• machining defects.

This results in highly precise profiles and mouldings requiring less sanding and finishing work after machining.
