Insert Knives Carbide Radius Inserts 16x14.4x2 R2 for SCM Edge Banding Machine

Fit question first: this insert suits an SCM edge banding machine only if the trimming seat takes a 16 × 14.4 × 2 mm insert with an R2 radius. It is a single TCT tungsten carbide insert knife — 16 mm long, 14.4 mm wide, 2 mm thick, 2 mm corner radius — supplied as a spare for SCM edge banding machines and listed for solid wood, plywood, MDF and laminate. Price is on request. Measure the insert you are running now, then ask for a quote on that size.

Three things stop an edgebanding line: a chipped radius insert with no spare in the drawer, a head sent out for re-grinding while the order waits, and a rounded edge that changes shape between shifts. The 16 × 14.4 × 2 R2 insert answers all three, because it is one small part you keep on the shelf, not an assembly you post out.

This is the insert knife that sits in the trimming seat of an SCM edge banding machine: 16 mm long, 14.4 mm wide, 2 mm thick, with an R2 — a 2 mm corner radius — ground into the cutting edge. The radius belongs to the insert, not to a machine setting, so the profile travels with the part.

The body is TCT, tungsten carbide, so the edge meeting the band is carbide. The same insert trims the overhang on solid wood, plywood, MDF and laminate — the four sheet materials the part is listed for. It is a spare for SCM edge banding machines, so it goes into the existing seat, not an adapter.

Price is on request: the part is quoted per order, not from a catalogue. Measure the insert you are running now — 16 × 14.4 × 2 R2 carries length, width, thickness and radius in one string — so quote and reorder both start from the part your machine accepts.

Four numbers describe the whole part — length, width, thickness, radius — and they decide fit and edge:

• 16 × 14.4 × 2 mm body — length, width and thickness sit in the size string, so the insert drops into an SCM trimming seat without shimming.
• R2 radius, ground in — the 2 mm radius is part of the insert, so the rounded edge does not drift when the seat is re-set.
• TCT tungsten carbide — the cutting edge is tungsten carbide rather than steel, so the 2 mm radius is a carbide edge, not a steel edge dressed by hand.
• One insert, one swap — a chipped corner costs one insert, not a trimming assembly, so the line restarts after one change.
• Listed for SCM machines — the part is a spare for SCM edge banding machines and goes into the existing seat without an adapter plate.
• Four sheet materials — one R2 insert trims overhang on solid wood, plywood, MDF and laminate — one spare line for the whole sheet list.
• Operator-independent profile — because the radius is ground in, two operators running the same insert get the same 2 mm edge.
• Reorder by size, not by sketch — 16 × 14.4 × 2 R2 is the full identity of the part, so the next order matches the last one without a drawing.

On a dull radius insert the choice is usually two bad options: stop the line and wait for an outside re-grind, or run it until the edge shows on the band. Keeping the insert on the shelf is the third.

• The stoppage costs more than the part. A 16 × 14.4 × 2 mm insert in the spares drawer turns a two-day wait into a swap between two panels.
• No re-grind loop. You replace the insert instead of sending a head out, so the 2 mm radius the job was set up for is the one that runs.
• The same edge on every panel. Because R2 is ground into the part, the rounded profile does not depend on who is on the machine or when the seat was last touched.
• Buy the insert, not the assembly. One chipped corner is one small carbide part, not a complete trimming head.
• One size covers the run. Solid wood, plywood, MDF and laminate all trim with the same R2 insert, so you stock one part number instead of four.
• Specify it without a drawing. 16 × 14.4 × 2 R2 states length, width, thickness and radius in one line, which is what makes a repeat order safe.
• Quoted per order. Price is on request, so the figure matches the quantity you need, not a catalogue pack size.

Yes, if your trimming seat takes a 16 × 14.4 × 2 mm insert with an R2 radius. Take the old insert out and measure it — 16 mm long, 14.4 mm wide, 2 mm thick, 2 mm corner radius — and compare those four numbers before ordering.

R2 is a 2 mm corner radius ground into the cutting edge. It is the shape that puts the rounded profile on the band, and it is fixed in the insert rather than adjusted on the machine.

16 mm long, 14.4 mm wide and 2 mm thick, with an R2 radius. All four numbers sit in the size code 16 × 14.4 × 2 R2, so the code alone tells you what you are reordering.

TCT — tungsten carbide. The cutting edge is carbide rather than steel, which is the material called for when the band carries glue and abrasive filler on MDF or laminate.

Solid wood, plywood, MDF and laminate. Those are the four sheet materials the part is listed for, and the same R2 insert covers all of them without a second part number.

Just the insert. The part is a single radius insert knife for an SCM edge banding machine, so it replaces the worn insert in the seat rather than the complete trimming unit.

Only if that machine's seat also takes a 16 × 14.4 × 2 mm insert with an R2 radius. Fit is decided by the seat dimensions, not by the badge on the machine, so measure the seat before you commit.

Ask for a quote — the part is priced per order, not from a fixed catalogue price. Send the quantity you need and confirm the size 16 × 14.4 × 2 R2 so the quote matches the insert you are running.
