CMT Industrial Heavy-Duty Fine Cut-Off Saw Blade - 350x72x3.5x30mm is a professional-grade circular saw blade engineered by CMT for demanding crosscut and rip applications on table saws, stationary machines, and portable cutting equipment. With 72 carbide-tipped teeth and an Alternate Top Bevel grind, this 350mm blade delivers fine, clean cuts through hardwood, softwood, and wood-based panels - making it a go-to solution for industrial woodworking operations that require consistent, high-quality results across high-volume cutting tasks.

Key Features

• 72 ATB teeth with a 10 deg. bevel grind - the high tooth count combined with an Alternate Top Bevel geometry produces smooth, splinter-free crosscuts and clean rip cuts, reducing finishing time on cut surfaces.
• 350mm (13-3/4 in.) blade diameter - sized for industrial table saws and stationary cut-off machines, providing the reach needed for wide stock and heavy-duty production cutting.
• 3.5mm kerf thickness - a robust kerf dimension suited for industrial-duty machines that can support a heavier blade body, ensuring stability and reduced vibration during cutting.
• 30mm bore with COMBI3 pin hole configuration - designed to mount securely on a wide range of professional table saws and special machines, providing a precise, wobble-free fit on the arbor.
• 15 deg. cutting (hook) angle - an aggressive positive hook angle pulls material through the cut efficiently, reducing operator effort and improving feed rate productivity on demanding crosscut applications.
• HW (carbide-tipped) tooth material - tungsten carbide tips deliver long service life and sustained cutting edge sharpness, lowering blade replacement frequency in high-use industrial environments.
• 5,500 RPM maximum speed rating - rated for the high spindle speeds found on industrial table saws and cut-off machines, ensuring safe operation within standard machine specifications.

Why This Product

• The combination of 72 teeth and ATB 10 deg. grind makes this blade well-suited for operations that demand fine, finished-quality cuts directly off the saw - reducing the need for additional sanding or planing steps on crosscut workpieces.
• The COMBI3 pin hole and 30mm bore provide broad machine compatibility across industrial table saws and specialty stationary equipment, making this a versatile choice for shops running multiple machine platforms.
• Built from HW carbide-tipped tooth material, this blade is designed to withstand the rigors of sustained industrial use - cutting hardwoods, softwoods, and wood-based panels without rapid edge degradation that would slow production.
• At a 5,500 RPM maximum rating and 350mm diameter, this blade is specifically matched to the power and speed characteristics of heavy-duty industrial cut-off and table saws - not a compromise fit for underpowered machines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grind type does this blade use, and why does it matter for fine cutting?

This blade uses an Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) grind at 10 deg. In an ATB pattern, adjacent teeth are beveled in alternating directions across the top face. This geometry produces a slicing action at the cut line that results in a clean, fine surface finish - particularly valuable on crosscuts where tear-out on hardwoods or wood-based panels would otherwise require additional finishing work.

What machines is this blade compatible with?

This blade is designed for industrial table saws, special stationary saws, and portable cutting machines. The 30mm bore diameter and COMBI3 pin hole configuration are standard on a wide range of professional European and industrial-grade equipment. Always verify that your machine's arbor size matches the 30mm bore before mounting.

What is the maximum safe operating speed for this blade?

This blade is rated to a maximum of 5,500 RPM. Always confirm your machine's no-load spindle speed does not exceed this rating before use. Operating a saw blade above its rated RPM is unsafe and can result in blade failure.

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is designed for use on softwood, hardwood, and wood-based panels. The HW (tungsten carbide-tipped) tooth construction provides the edge durability needed for these materials in both production crosscut and rip cut operations. It is not intended for cutting metal, masonry, or non-wood materials.
