What is included and where and how can I get my knives re-sharpened?
All Molding Knives come with a plastic template. The template is needed to produce your knives in a similar matter as keys are being cut where a finger follows the template and guids the grinding wheel to cut the appropriate profile. The template can later be used to re-sharpen your molding knives at any local tool sharpening service provider. You can also send your molding knives back to us for re-sharpening along with the template you received with your knives. Re-Sharpening is $4.00 per knife inch with a minimum charge of $12.50 per knife.

Knife Head System
While all systems on the market use the same corrugated knives with a 60 degree corrugation, many systems differ by the depth of the knife pocket. We need to make sure that your molding knives are deep enough so that no part of the actual profile will disappear inside the knife pocket. On the other hand, we can’t make the knives deeper than what they need to be as that would increase the risk of knife damage and accidants. You will have to indicate in the drop down box above if you are using a molding machine or a shaper cutter head that uses corrugated knives. If you are using a shaper cutter head, you will need to measure the pocket depth as shown in the image below. The pocket depth in the image below is 5/8” and you would select “Shaper Head with pocket depth up to 5/8”. If you are ordering a shaper head along from our selection, simply select “Shaper Head as ordered along”.

Quantity
Please note: The price above includes a single molding knife only. There are many different systems on the market that use corrugated knives but they differ by the quantity of knives they use. Some use 2 knives, while others can use 3, 4, or 6 knives. For this reason, we cannot offer these knives in a set of 2 knives by default. You will need to change the quantity above to whatever you need.

Knife Material
You can order all molding knives either made from High Speed Steel (HSS) or Carbide. The HSS will cut easily all kinds of soft- and hardwood and depending on the wood species and density of knots in the wood, it can cut between 2,000 and 5,000 lineal feet before it needs re-sharpening. Carbide will last much longer and is also needed when cutting man-made materials, such as MDF.
By default, the product and price listed here represents the HSS version. If you want carbide knives, please click above on “Customize and Order” and choose under “Choose Knife Material” the Carbide UPGRADE. Please note that the extra price indicated is indeed the UPCHARGE in price to change from HSS to Carbide, which means that the full price for carbide knives is the addition of the regular HSS price PLUS this UPCHARGE. Therefore, two separate items will appear in your shopping cart (the HSS knife and the Carbide UPGRADE). Some customers chose to delete the HSS knife from the cart before going through checkout. In such cases, we will void your entire order and contact you.

How long until my order ships?
Please note that we offer about 1,100 different knives and each one is being offered for several different machine systems. Trying to keep all knives in stock would mean a huge inventory burdon that would increase our prices. Therefore, all molding knife orders are being produced upon order and customized for your individual machine. The production time is on average 5 to 7 business days. If you select and pay for a faster shipping service upon checkout (such as UPS NEXT DAY or SECOND DAY AIR), we do understand that you are in a rush to receive your knives and will do our best to produce and ship your order within one business day.

Custom Molding Knives
We do offer custom molding knives with a turn around time of 5 to 7 business days. As all of our molding knives are being produced upon order (see above), we can also offer to customize any of our catalog profiles. If you like one of the profiles we offer but want it with a different dimension – no problem! The price for custom knives is the same as for our catalog knives and simply depends on the profile width! To inquire about custom knives, please click here!
