The CMT Orange Chrome Crosscut Fine Finish Saw Blade - 10 in. x 30mm x 60-Tooth ATB is a premium carbide-tipped circular saw blade engineered for clean, splinter-free crosscuts in hardwood, softwood, plywood, melamine, and chipboard. Designed for use on miter saws, slide miter saws, stationary table saws, and portable table saws, this 250mm blade pairs a 60-tooth Alternate Top Bevel grind with a 10 deg. hook angle to deliver the fine finish results that cabinetmakers, finish carpenters, and woodworking professionals demand. The 30mm metric bore with COMBI3 pin-hole pattern ensures broad compatibility with metric-arbor machines across a wide range of workshop setups.

Key Features

• Orange Chrome Coating - a chromium layer electrolytically deposited on the steel plate increases wear resistance and protects against corrosion, extending the working life of the blade in demanding shop environments.
• 60-Tooth ATB Grind at 15 deg. - the Alternate Top Bevel tooth geometry produces ultra-fine, tear-out-free crosscuts on hardwood, softwood, plywood, melamine, and chipboard, making it ideal for finish-quality work where surface appearance matters.
• 10 deg. Hook Angle - a controlled, moderate hook angle stabilizes the cut and reduces the risk of blade grab, contributing to smoother, more predictable performance on miter saws and table saws alike.
• Precision Sharpening on Each Tooth - every tooth is individually sharpened to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent cut quality from the first pass through the life of the blade and longer intervals between resharpenings.
• Laser-Cut Steel Plate - laser cutting produces tight dimensional tolerances in the plate body, supporting stable, accurate cutting performance and reducing deflection during the cut.
• Polymer-Filled Sound-Dampening Slots - polymer-filled laser-cut slots absorb vibration and reduce operational noise, improving comfort and control during extended use sessions.
• Tri-Metal Silver Brazing - a Silver-Copper-Silver brazing system bonds carbide tips to the plate with exceptional strength, preventing tip separation under the stresses of repeated high-speed crosscutting.
• 30mm Bore with COMBI3 Pin Hole - the metric bore and COMBI3 pin-hole configuration deliver broad compatibility with miter saws, slide miter saws, stationary table saws, and portable table saws fitted with metric arbors.
• 7,600 RPM Maximum Speed - a high maximum operating speed rating supports use on a wide range of motor-driven machines without compromising safety margins.
• Thin Kerf at 0.126 in. - a relatively thin kerf removes less material per pass, reducing motor load and producing less waste - a practical advantage when working with expensive hardwoods or veneered sheet goods.

Why This Product

• When finish quality is the priority - cabinet doors, trim work, or veneered panels - the 60-tooth ATB geometry at 15 deg. delivers the clean, splinter-free crosscut edge that eliminates time-consuming sanding or rework.
• The 30mm metric bore with COMBI3 pin-hole pattern makes this blade a direct-fit solution for a broad range of metric-arbor miter saws, slide miter saws, stationary table saws, and portable table saws without requiring adapters.
• The Orange Chrome electrolytic coating actively resists corrosion and wear, meaning the blade maintains its performance longer in humid shop conditions or when cutting resin-rich woods compared to uncoated alternatives.
• With a 7,600 RPM maximum speed rating and polymer-filled vibration-dampening slots, this blade is built to perform at the higher spindle speeds common on slide miter saws and contractor table saws while keeping noise and vibration at manageable levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is this blade compatible with?

This blade is compatible with miter saws, slide miter saws, stationary table saws, and portable table saws equipped with a 30mm metric arbor and COMBI3 pin-hole configuration.

What is the maximum safe operating speed for this blade?

The maximum rated operating speed is 7,600 RPM. Always confirm that your machine's no-load spindle speed does not exceed this rating before mounting the blade.

What does the ATB 15 tooth grind mean for cut quality?

ATB stands for Alternate Top Bevel - a tooth geometry where adjacent teeth are ground at opposing 15 deg. bevel angles. This configuration slices wood fibers cleanly from both sides of the kerf, significantly reducing tear-out and producing the fine, smooth surface finish the blade is designed for on hardwood, softwood, plywood, melamine, and chipboard.

What is the difference between the kerf thickness and the plate thickness on this blade?

The kerf thickness of 0.126 in. is the total width of material removed during the cut - determined by the width of the carbide tips at their widest point. The plate thickness of 0.087 in. is the thickness of the steel body of the blade itself, which is narrower than the kerf to prevent binding in the cut.
