This blade features a thin kerf, which makes it ideal for saws that are a bit underpowered, but at the same time this tool delivers great performance. You will be satisfied with the excellent price/quality ratio. The laser cut heavy-duty blade plate is hardened to allow for great resistance (46-48 Rockwell in hardness) and features expansion slots to reduce noise and anti-vibration design. The teeth are made of micrograin carbide to ensure long-lasting cutting performance and deliver smooth cut on wood and wood products. These are brazed to the blade body through a special trimetallic bond (copper-silver-copper), so that longer cut performance and resistance are guaranteed. Blade is delivered in a unique CMT plastic case.
CMT's 7-1/4" and 8-1/4" ITK Fine Finish Blades allow you to produce excellent finish cuts anywhere you can carry your portable saw: in the shop, on the job site, or wherever quality cuts are critical. With a combination of flat and alternate top bevel teeth (40 teeth on the 7-1/4" blade, 42 on the 8-1/4"), these blades are an excellent choice for crosscut or rip applications. Thanks to CMT's new thin kerf design, our Fine Finish Blades deliver this performance with a minimum of stock removal, meaning there's less stress on the blade and your saw. Fine Finish Blades also include Micrograin Carbide Teeth, Anti-Kickback Design, Tri-Metal Brazing and all the other great ITK features, plus complete safety and resharpening instructions.
