This ITK XTREME saw blade is designed for general purpose use, but especially demolition work involving metal rods, studs, and pipes, as well as nail-embedded wood. CMT has included several features that elevate this line above the ordinary saw blade. A chrome coating not only protects against corrosion, but also reduces residue build-up which enables the blade to spin with less effort and put more power into cutting.

The carbide tips are brazed to the saw teeth with a Tri-Metal of silver-copper-silver, which provides a very solid connection, and allows the teeth to handle high stress and impact especially when cutting harder woods and metal. The blade body has several laser cut slots that reduce noise and vibration.

This 7-1/4″ saw blade is designed for use in hand-held circular saws or worm-drive saws. It has a narrow kerf, so less material is removed, allowing for faster cuts. The central bore is a standard either 5/8″ or diamond shaped.
