CMT 213.040.10 General Purpose Saw Blade by CMT is a 10 in. x 5/8 in. bore, 40-tooth circular saw blade engineered for professional woodworkers who need clean, reliable results in both rip cuts and crosscuts. Built with a thin kerf design and an Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) tooth grind, this industrial circular saw blade delivers an exceptional finish in soft and hard wood, and good performance in plywood - making it a dependable choice for radial arm saws, miter saws, table saws, and special saws alike. Finished with an Orange Shield non-stick PTFE coating, this blade resists resin buildup and heat, extending its useful life through heavy daily shop use.

Key Features

• Thin kerf at 0.126 in. kerf thickness - removes less material per pass, reducing waste and demanding less power from the saw motor for smoother, more efficient cuts.
• 40-tooth ATB 20 deg. tooth grind - the Alternate Top Bevel configuration shears wood fibers cleanly on both rip and crosscut passes, producing an exceptional surface finish that minimizes tearout.
• 18 deg. hook (cutting) angle - provides an aggressive feed that keeps material moving efficiently through the cut, suited to the wide range of compatible saws including miter saws and table saws.
• Orange Shield non-stick PTFE coating - protects the blade body against corrosion, rust, and resin buildup while reducing blade drag and overheating, which directly extends cutting life and maintains consistent performance.
• HW (hardmetal/carbide) tooth material - carbide-tipped teeth retain a sharp edge longer than standard steel teeth, meaning fewer sharpenings and longer intervals between blade changes in production environments.
• 7,600 maximum RPM rating - the blade is balanced and rated for high-speed operation, giving professionals confidence when running it on full-speed stationary and portable table saws or slide miter saws.
• Industrial general purpose classification - designed and validated for professional shop environments where the blade must perform consistently across a variety of wood species and cutting directions without a blade change.
• 5/8 in. bore (15.88 mm) diameter - fits the standard arbor size found on the majority of 10 in. table saws and miter saws, making installation straightforward without adapter rings.

Why This Product

• One blade for ripping and crosscutting - the 40-tooth ATB geometry handles both cut directions with an exceptional finish, so professional woodworkers can keep a single blade mounted and move between tasks without swapping blades mid-project.
• Thin-kerf efficiency in hardwood and softwood - the 0.126 in. kerf reduces the load on the saw and minimizes material waste, which matters when working with expensive hardwood stock or high-volume production cutting.
• PTFE-coated body resists the pitch and resin buildup that slows blades down - less cleaning time and more consistent cut quality across an extended work session on sticky or resinous woods.
• Rated to 7,600 RPM for use on radial arm saws, miter saws, table saws, and special saws - a single blade compatible with multiple machines in the shop reduces the number of blades that need to be purchased, stored, and tracked.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum safe operating speed for the CMT 213.040.10 saw blade?

The CMT 213.040.10 is rated for a maximum of 7,600 RPM. Always confirm that your saw does not exceed this speed before mounting the blade.

What tooth grind does this blade use, and why does it matter for finish quality?

This blade uses an Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) grind at 20 deg. The alternating bevel on each tooth slices wood fibers from both sides of the kerf, which is what produces the exceptional finish the blade is designed to deliver on rip and crosscuts in hard and soft wood.

Which machines is the CMT 213.040.10 compatible with?

The blade is designed for use on radial arm saws, miter saws, table saws, and special saws. Its standard 5/8 in. bore fits the arbor size found on most 10 in. saws in these categories.

What is the purpose of the Orange Shield PTFE coating on this blade?

The Orange Shield non-stick PTFE coating on the blade body protects against corrosion, rust, and resin buildup. It also reduces friction and heat during cutting, which helps maintain consistent performance and extends the working life of the blade over repeated use.
