CMT 281.060.10M Industrial Panel Sizing Saw Blade is a 250mm (9-27/32") circular saw blade engineered by CMT for demanding industrial panel processing. Built around a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry with a 10 deg. cutting angle and 60 hardmetal teeth, this blade delivers the clean, chip-free cuts that industrial fabricators require when sizing laminated panels, chipboard, MDF, and melamine on stationary or vertical panel saws. Whether you are running a high-volume production line or a professional woodworking shop, this blade is matched to the precision and durability that industrial panel sizing demands.

Key Features

• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry - alternating flat and chamfered cutting tips actively reduce chipping on laminated, melamine-coated, and abrasive surfaces, producing smooth edges on both faces of the panel without secondary finishing.
• 60 hardmetal (HW) teeth - the high tooth count combined with tungsten carbide-grade hardmetal tips extends cutting life between sharpenings and maintains edge quality on dense materials such as chipboard and MDF.
• 10 deg. hook angle - a positive but controlled cutting angle optimizes feed force on panel sizing machines, supporting consistent, controlled cuts through laminated and composite sheet goods without kickback risk.
• 250mm (9-27/32") diameter with 30mm bore - sized to mount directly onto standard industrial panel saw arbors, ensuring accurate alignment and minimal vibration during full-depth panel cuts.
• COMBI3 pin hole configuration - compatible with machines that use a combination pin-hole pattern, making the blade a direct fit for a wide range of horizontal and vertical panel sizing equipment.
• 7600 RPM maximum speed rating - supports safe operation at the spindle speeds typical of industrial table saws and vertical panel saws, maintaining cutting performance without exceeding safe centrifugal limits.

Why This Product

• The TCG grind with 60 teeth is specifically designed for sizing single and double-sided laminated panels - applications where tear-out on the laminate surface is unacceptable - making this blade a purpose-built choice rather than a general-purpose workaround.
• The 30mm bore and COMBI3 pin hole pattern match the arbor and locating-pin specifications found on dedicated horizontal and vertical panel sizing machines, so the blade installs without adapter rings or improvised mounting solutions.
• With hardmetal (HW) tipped teeth and a TCG grind, the blade handles abrasive materials like MDF, chipboard, and melamine that rapidly dull conventional saw blades - reducing blade-change frequency and downtime in production environments.
• The 7600 RPM rating aligns with the operating speeds of miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws in addition to dedicated panel saws, giving the blade flexibility across multiple machine types in a professional shop setting.
