This ITK XTREME saw blade is designed for cross-cutting wood and leaving a fine finish. 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 composite material. The blade body has several laser cut slots that reduce noise and vibration.

This 8-1/2″ saw blade is designed for use in portable table saws, radial arm saws, and slide miter saws, cutting finished pieces for cabinetry, countertops, molding, and trim. It has a full kerf, which provides greater strength and stability to ensure the perfect cut. The central bore is 5/8″ standard.
