This is one of the top professional crosscut or fine finish blades on the market for good reason. The carbide teeth are massive, and it’s amazing at removing a lot of material while keeping the cut cool.
This is easily my second most uséd, non-combination blade. When I’m doing a bunch of crosscutting to length, or cutting plywood on my table or miter saw and need a clean edge, this is the blade I reach for. Because it has 60 ATB teeth, it’s a great regular crosscutting blade.
Blades with higher teeth count will give a slightly better finish, but take a lot longer to get through a cut. That’s why when you need good crosscuts fast, this is a fantastic blade for the job.
The chrome coating makes it easy to clean, which really extends its life. These new models have 3 additional patents that increase stabilization and keep the blade cooler.
CMT blades are now approved for Sawstop, and if you're looking for a top tier blade at a big box store price, this is definitely the line to go with.
I recommend a full kerf blade for woodworkers who want greater precision, years of sharpenings out of one blade, and have saws with more than 1.5 hp.
I’ve been putting my reputation behind these CMT Chrome blades for a couple years now, and I couldn't be more proud to be carrying them in my store. You’ll absolutely love any blade in this line. I guarantee they’re on par with any high end blade on the market.
