The CMT ITK Contractor Saw Blade Finish for Plywood - 7-1/4" x 5/8", 140-Tooth (10-Pack) is a high-tooth-count circular saw blade engineered for ultra-smooth finish cuts in plywood, OSB, plastic, and veneered panels. With an ATB (Alternate Top Bevel) grind profile and a fine 140-tooth configuration, this blade delivers clean, splinter-free crosscuts that would otherwise require sanding or additional finishing work. Designed for use in circular saws and cordless circular saws, it is a dependable choice for contractors and finish carpenters who demand consistent, professional-quality results across a full workday. Sold as a 10-pack, this package offers excellent value for high-volume jobsite use.

Key Features

• 140 ATB Teeth - the high tooth count combined with Alternate Top Bevel sharpening produces smooth, chip-free edges on plywood, OSB, plastic, and veneered materials, reducing the need for secondary finishing.
• 5 deg. Hook (Cutting) Angle - a low, controlled hook angle limits aggressive material grab, resulting in smoother feed behavior and reduced tearout on delicate veneered and laminated surfaces.
• 7-1/4" Diameter with 5/8" Bore - fits the most common circular saw and cordless circular saw arbor size, making this blade a drop-in upgrade for standard contractor-grade saws.
• Thin Kerf Design (0.082" kerf / 0.043" plate) - removes less material per pass, reducing strain on the motor and allowing cordless saws to cut more efficiently on a single battery charge.
• HW (Carbide) Tooth Material - hardmetal carbide tips maintain sharpness over extended use, delivering longer service life between sharpenings in demanding contractor applications.
• 8,300 RPM Rating - rated for the high rotational speeds of modern circular and cordless saws, ensuring safe, reliable performance at full tool speed.
• 10-Pack Quantity - provides a ready supply of blades for multi-crew jobsites or extended projects, reducing downtime from blade changes and keeping work moving.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for finish-quality plywood cuts - the 140-tooth ATB configuration is specifically designed for smooth crosscuts on plywood, OSB, plastic, and veneered panels where a clean edge matters, not just a rough dimensional cut.
• Compatible with the circular saws already on your jobsite - the 7-1/4" diameter and 5/8" bore match the most widely used contractor circular and cordless circular saws, so no adapters or special tooling are required.
• Thin kerf extends cordless tool runtime - at 0.082" kerf and 0.043" plate thickness, the blade pulls less power from the motor, helping cordless saw batteries last longer and reducing fatigue on older saws.
• Contractor-pack value for high-volume work - buying 10 blades at once means crews always have a fresh, sharp blade available, avoiding the costly delays that come from waiting on a single replacement blade mid-project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can this blade cut?

This blade is designed for plywood, OSB, plastic, and veneered panels. Its 140-tooth ATB grind is optimized to produce smooth, clean edges on these materials during crosscut operations in circular and cordless circular saws.

What is the maximum RPM for this blade?

This blade is rated for a maximum of 8,300 RPM, which is compatible with the operating speeds of most standard and cordless circular saws used in contractor applications. Always verify your saw's RPM rating does not exceed the blade's maximum before use.

What does ATB tooth grind mean and why does it matter for plywood?

ATB stands for Alternate Top Bevel - a sharpening geometry where adjacent teeth are beveled in alternating directions. This configuration creates a slicing action at the cut edge rather than a chopping action, which is especially effective at preventing tearout and splintering on plywood face veneers, laminated panels, and OSB surfaces.

Why is the thin kerf on this blade beneficial for cordless saw use?

The 0.082" kerf thickness and 0.043" plate thickness mean the blade removes less material per pass, which demands less energy from the saw motor. For cordless circular saws, this translates to longer battery runtime per charge and reduced motor load, making it a practical choice for finish work away from a power source.
