The CMT 226.090.14 Metal and Steel Dry Cut Saw Blade is a 14-inch, 90-tooth industrial circular saw blade engineered for clean, burr-free dry cutting of metal and steel without coolant or lubrication. Designed for use on circular saws, miter saws, and chop miter saws, this blade handles demanding cutting tasks involving channel, studs, angles, plates, pipes, and rods with precision and consistency. Its Flat with Alternate Chamfer (FWF) tooth geometry and 0 deg. cutting angle make it a dependable choice for contractors, fabricators, and ironworkers who need reliable, repeatable performance on metal cutting applications.

Key Features

• 90-Tooth Flat with Alternate Chamfer (FWF) Grind at 8 deg. - engineered tooth geometry produces clean, burr-free cuts in metal and steel, reducing post-cut finishing time on channels, studs, angles, plates, pipes, and rods.
• 0 deg. Cutting (Hook) Angle - neutral hook angle controls feed rate and reduces blade grab, improving safety and cut quality on hard metals and steel alloys.
• 0.087-inch Kerf Thickness with 0.071-inch Plate Thickness - thin-kerf design removes less material per pass, reducing heat buildup and making each cut more efficient without coolant.
• HW (Tungsten Carbide) Tooth Material - hardened carbide tips maintain sharpness through repeated dry cuts in metal, extending blade life and lowering cost per cut.
• 25.4 mm (1-inch) Bore Diameter - fits standard 1-inch arbors on circular saws, miter saws, and chop miter saws for direct, no-adapter mounting.
• Maximum 2,000 RPM Rating - rated speed aligns with typical chop and miter saw operating speeds for metal cutting, supporting controlled, consistent performance.
• 14-inch Blade Diameter - large-format blade provides extended reach and cutting capacity for heavy-duty metal fabrication tasks on full-size machines.

Why This Product

• Dry cutting - no coolant required: the 90-tooth FWF geometry and thin-kerf plate are specifically designed to minimize heat generation, eliminating the need for cutting fluids or coolant systems on the job site.
• Versatile metal cutting in one blade: compatible with channel, studs, angles, plates, pipes, and rods - a single blade solution across multiple common steel and metal cutting tasks rather than multiple specialized blades.
• Fits existing miter and chop saw setups: the standard 1-inch bore and 14-inch diameter fit directly onto common circular saws, miter saws, and chop miter saws without requiring adapters or machine changes.
• Industrial-grade carbide for job site durability: HW tungsten carbide teeth are built to withstand repeated dry cuts in metal, maintaining edge retention longer than standard steel-tooth blades and reducing blade change frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this saw blade require coolant or cutting fluid during use?

No. The CMT 226.090.14 is an industrial dry cutter blade. Its 90-tooth FWF geometry and thin-kerf plate (0.087 in. kerf, 0.071 in. plate) are engineered to minimize heat during cutting, so no coolant or cutting fluid is needed.

What machines is this blade compatible with?

This blade is designed for use on circular saws, miter saws, and chop miter saws. It features a standard 25.4 mm (1-inch) bore and a 14-inch diameter, fitting directly onto machines with a 1-inch arbor without adapters.

What materials can this blade cut?

The CMT 226.090.14 is rated for cutting metal and steel, specifically channel, studs, angles, plates, pipes, and rods. Its HW tungsten carbide teeth and FWF tooth grind are designed for clean, controlled cuts in these materials.

What is the maximum safe operating speed for this blade?

The maximum rated speed for this blade is 2,000 RPM. Do not exceed this speed rating during operation. Always confirm your machine's operating RPM is within this limit before use.
