CMT Xtreme Demolition Saw Blade 6-1/4" 24T by CMT is a purpose-built circular saw blade engineered for metric-arbor cordless saws and track saws tackling the toughest demolition cutting tasks. With a 6-1/4 in. (160mm) diameter, 24 alternating top bevel teeth, and a 20mm bore, this blade is optimized for cutting through demolition materials, wood embedded with nails, pressure-treated lumber, OSB, laminated beams, and plywood - delivering controlled, reliable cuts where standard blades fail. The orange chrome coating and reinforced plate construction make it a go-to choice for jobsite demolition, ripping, and crosscutting with Festool track saws and other metric-arbor circular saws.

Key Features

• 24-Tooth ATB 5 deg. Tooth Grind - the alternating top bevel geometry at 5 deg. provides aggressive, clean shearing action through demolition debris, embedded fasteners, and mixed wood materials, reducing tear-out and extending cutting efficiency under demanding conditions.
• 5 deg. Hook Angle - a positive 5 deg. cutting angle gives the teeth an assertive bite into demolition lumber and nail-embedded wood, reducing the feed force needed and letting the saw move through material with less resistance.
• 20mm Metric Bore with 2/6/32 Pin Hole - the metric 20mm arbor bore and pin hole configuration ensure a precise, secure fit on metric-arbor cordless saws and track saws including Festool, eliminating wobble and maintaining accurate cuts through heavy stock.
• 0.090 in. Kerf with 0.049 in. Plate - the kerf-to-plate ratio reflects a blade built for strength and stability, resisting flex and deflection when cutting through unpredictable demolition material that may contain hidden nails or screws.
• 9,500 Maximum RPM Rating - rated for the high rotational speeds of modern cordless circular saws and track saws, so the blade performs at peak efficiency without safety compromise, even under continuous demolition use.
• HW (Tungsten Carbide) Tooth Material - hard metal carbide tips retain sharpness longer than standard steel teeth when contacting nails, screws, and abrasive demolition material, reducing the frequency of blade changes on the jobsite.
• Orange Chrome Coating - the chromium-based protective coating guards the steel plate against corrosion and pitch buildup, extending the working life of the blade in wet, dirty, and high-impact demolition environments.

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for demolition cutting - not a repurposed framing blade - this saw blade handles embedded nails, screws, and mixed debris that would damage ordinary circular saw blades, keeping work moving without unplanned stops.
• The 20mm metric bore and 2/6/32 pin hole make this blade a direct fit for Festool and other metric-arbor track saws and cordless saws, eliminating the need for adapters or workarounds on metric-arbor tools.
• With tungsten carbide (HW) teeth and an orange chrome-coated plate, this blade is built to resist the accelerated wear caused by demolition materials, offering longer service life than standard carbide blades in harsh cutting conditions.
• At 6-1/4 in. diameter and a 9,500 RPM rating, this blade is sized and rated to pair with compact cordless circular saws, giving demolition crews a lightweight, portable cutting solution without sacrificing blade durability or cutting depth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size arbor does this CMT demolition blade require?

This blade has a 20mm metric bore diameter and includes a 2/6/32 pin hole configuration, making it a direct fit for metric-arbor cordless circular saws and track saws such as Festool. It is not designed for standard 5/8 in. arbor saws without a proper adapter.

Can this blade cut through wood that contains nails or screws?

Yes. The CMT Xtreme Demolition blade is specifically engineered for demolition materials including wood with embedded nails and screws. The tungsten carbide (HW) teeth are designed to withstand the impact and abrasion of embedded fasteners better than standard saw blade teeth.

What is the maximum safe operating speed for this blade?

The maximum rated speed for this blade is 9,500 RPM. Always verify that your saw's no-load RPM does not exceed this rating before use to ensure safe operation.

What does the ATB 5 tooth grind mean, and why does it matter for demolition work?

ATB stands for Alternating Top Bevel - a tooth geometry where adjacent teeth are beveled in alternating directions at 5 deg. This design produces a shearing cut that handles mixed demolition materials efficiently, reduces tear-out on wood surfaces, and maintains cutting performance even when the blade contacts nails or other embedded debris.
