CMT 226.060.10 Metal and Steel Dry Cut Saw Blade is a 10-inch, 60-tooth industrial circular saw blade engineered for cutting thin metal and steel without coolant. Designed for use on circular saws, miter saws, and chop miter saws, this dry-cut blade handles a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials including channels, studs, angles, plates, pipes, and rods - delivering clean, controlled cuts where coolant-free operation is required.

Key Features

• Flat with Alternate Chamfer (FWF) Tooth Grind at 8 deg. - this precision tooth geometry is specifically engineered to produce clean, burr-free cuts in metal and steel without coolant, reducing finishing time and improving cut quality on every pass.
• 60-Tooth Configuration - the high tooth count provides finer, smoother cuts through thin metal profiles like channels, studs, angles, plates, pipes, and rods, minimizing material distortion and heat buildup at the cut line.
• 0 deg. Cutting Angle (Hook Angle) - the neutral hook angle controls material feed rate during cutting, reducing the risk of blade grab and improving operator safety when cutting metal on a miter or chop saw.
• Hardmetal (HW) Tooth Material - carbide-grade hard metal tips deliver extended cutting life in metal and steel applications, meaning fewer blade changes and lower cost per cut over time.
• 1-Inch Bore with 5/8-Inch Reducer Compatibility - the dual-bore design fits a wide range of circular saw and chop miter saw arbors, giving this blade broad machine compatibility right out of the box.
• Maximum 3,000 RPM Rating - optimized for the lower operating speeds typical of dry-cut metal saws and chop miter saws, ensuring safe, controlled performance within the blade's design parameters.
• 0.087-Inch Kerf / 0.071-Inch Plate Thickness - the thin kerf and plate design reduce material waste and cutting resistance, making each cut more efficient while preserving tight tolerances on metal workpieces.

Why This Product

• Cuts metal and steel dry - no coolant required - making it a practical choice for job sites and shops where liquid cooling is impractical or unavailable, while still delivering clean results in channels, studs, angles, plates, pipes, and rods.
• The FWF tooth grind paired with a 0 deg. hook angle makes this blade well-suited for crosscuts in thin metal on chop miter saws, where controlled feed and clean exits matter most.
• With a 1-inch primary bore and compatibility with a 5/8-inch arbor, this blade installs directly on the widest range of circular saws and miter saws without requiring additional adapters.
• The 60-tooth, hardmetal-tipped configuration is designed for industrial dry-cutter applications, meaning it is built to handle repeated production-level cutting of metal profiles without sacrificing edge life.
