Product Description
CMT 282.072.14T Industrial Panel Sizing Saw Blade is a 350 x 50mm, 72-tooth circular saw blade engineered for high-demand panel sizing operations. Built by CMT for use on horizontal panel sizing machines, this blade handles both single-sheet and multiple-panel sizing with precision, thanks to its Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry and 16 deg. cutting angle. The combination of a 4.4mm kerf thickness and 3.2mm plate thickness reflects the robust construction needed for industrial cutting environments, making this blade a reliable choice for operations processing plastic-laminated panels and similar sheet materials at volume.
Key Features
- 350mm diameter with 50mm bore - sized to fit standard horizontal panel sizing machine arbors, ensuring compatibility with common industrial panel saw configurations and reducing setup time.
- 72-tooth count (T72) - a high tooth count delivers smooth, fine cuts across panel surfaces, minimizing tearout and edge chipping on laminated and composite materials.
- Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry - the alternating flat and chamfered tooth profile is optimized for cutting hard, abrasive materials like plastic-laminated panels, extending tooth life and maintaining clean cut edges over extended production runs.
- 16 deg. cutting angle - the positive hook angle supports efficient chip evacuation and controlled cutting action, helping reduce stress on the machine spindle during panel sizing cycles.
- 4.4mm kerf / 3.2mm plate construction - the generous kerf-to-plate ratio provides blade stability during heavy cuts, reducing deflection and contributing to consistent, repeatable panel dimensions.
- Hard metal (HW) tipped teeth - carbide-tipped construction resists wear when cutting abrasive panel materials, maintaining sharpness far longer than conventional steel blades in industrial production settings.
- Pin hole configuration 3/12.5/80 - the precise pin hole pattern ensures positive blade registration on compatible panel sizing machines, locking the blade in place for accurate, repeatable panel cuts.
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for panel sizing machines - unlike general-purpose circular saw blades, this blade is engineered for the demands of horizontal panel sizing equipment, matching the bore, pin hole, and tooth geometry requirements of that application.
- TCG grind handles laminated panels without chipping - the Triple Chip Grind configuration is the industry-standard geometry for cutting single-sided and double-sided laminated panels cleanly, making this the correct blade choice where surface quality matters.
- 72 teeth at 350mm diameter balances speed and finish quality - for panel sizing operations where both throughput and edge quality are priorities, the high tooth count at this diameter provides a cut quality that reduces secondary finishing work.
- Hard metal tipping on an industrial-grade plate - the HW carbide tips paired with a 3.2mm body plate mean this blade is built for sustained production use, not occasional jobsite cutting, making it appropriate for shops running continuous sizing cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of grind does this blade use, and why does it matter for panel cutting?
This blade uses a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) pattern. In TCG geometry, teeth alternate between a flat raker tooth and a chamfered trapezoid tooth. This configuration is well-suited to cutting hard, abrasive surface materials like plastic laminates because it distributes cutting stress across multiple tooth profiles, reducing chipping at the cut edge and extending the time between sharpenings in a production environment.
Is this blade compatible with my panel sizing machine?
This blade is designed for horizontal panel sizing machines with a 50mm arbor bore. It also features a pin hole configuration of 3/12.5/80, which is required for positive blade registration on machines equipped with a matching pin drive system. Confirm that your machine accepts a 350mm diameter blade with a 50mm bore and the 3/12.5/80 pin hole pattern before installation.
What is the difference between the kerf thickness and the plate thickness on this blade?
The kerf thickness is 4.4mm - this is the total width of the cut that the blade removes from the material, determined by the width of the carbide tips. The plate thickness is 3.2mm - this is the thickness of the steel body of the blade itself. The difference between the two (the side clearance) helps prevent the blade body from binding in the cut kerf during operation, which is especially important when sizing panels under continuous production conditions.
Can this blade be resharpened after the teeth become dull?
Yes. This blade is manufactured with hard metal (HW) carbide-tipped teeth using a TCG profile, which is a standard sharpening geometry that qualified carbide saw blade sharpening services can accommodate. The TCG grind requires a sharpening shop with the appropriate CBN or diamond grinding equipment capable of maintaining the alternating flat and chamfered tooth angles specified for this grind type.
