Moulding Knife Calculator
Welcome to the Mirror Reflections Inc. custom profile knife calculator. We have created a mathematical equation to provide fast accurate quotes of what it would cost to manufacture a set of two knives in corrugated 5/16" thick high-speed steel.
The calculator is designed for estimating a set of two blades for a single cutter head position, some designs may require more than one cutter head to mill the profile, you must calculate a new price for each set of knives needed to mill the detail.
Here is a brief explanation of how to use the calculator.
- Insert a width dimension in the box above if the profile is milled from the top or bottom horizontal cutter head.
- If moulding is milled from either a left or right vertical cutter head, enter a thickness dimension in the box above.
- Insert the depth of cut for the profile, this is how deep the knife is cutting into the wood, (examples below).
- The plastic is automatically added to the total cost for a set of two knives. A summary of all our quality steel is located here.
Euro style carbide knife cost can be viewed on our current pricelist. If you need further assistance in pricing guidelines for high-speed steel or carbide, please feel free to contact us.
