The CMT ITK-Plus Fast Framing 7-1/4" x 5/8" Saw Blade - 10-Pack is a bulk masterpack engineered for high-speed framing work on wood, plywood, OSB, and hardboard. Built with an 18-tooth configuration and a 20 deg. hook angle, this circular saw blade rips through framing lumber and sheet goods quickly and accurately, making it an ideal choice for contractors, framing crews, and professional builders who need consistent performance from both cordless circular saws and portable table saws. The 10-piece bulk pack delivers exceptional value on the jobsite by keeping crews cutting without interruption.

Key Features

• 18-Tooth ATB+S Grind (10 ATB+S) - the Alternate Top Bevel with Shear tooth geometry sharpens each tooth for clean, fast cuts through framing lumber, plywood, and OSB, reducing tear-out and splintering compared to flat-top alternatives.
• 20 deg. Hook Angle - an aggressive hook angle drives the blade through wood stock quickly, making each stroke more efficient and reducing the physical effort needed during long framing sessions.
• 7-1/4" Diameter with 5/8" Bore - the industry-standard diameter and bore size ensure broad compatibility with cordless circular saws and portable table saws commonly used in framing applications.
• 0.069" Kerf Thickness - a precisely ground kerf removes only the material necessary for a clean cut, reducing waste and conserving battery power on cordless tools.
• 0.043" Plate Thickness - a thin steel plate reduces blade weight and vibration, contributing to straighter cuts and smoother operation over extended use.
• HW (Tungsten Carbide) Tooth Material - carbide-tipped teeth retain their edge longer than steel-only alternatives, meaning fewer blade changes and more uptime on the jobsite.
• 8,300 RPM Rating - the blade is rated for up to 8,300 RPM, providing compatibility with a wide range of high-speed cordless and corded circular saws used in professional framing.
• 10-Piece Bulk Masterpack - purchasing in a 10-pack reduces per-blade cost and ensures crews always have a sharp blade ready, minimizing downtime during heavy framing projects.

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for fast framing applications on wood, plywood, OSB, and hardboard - the 18-tooth ATB+S geometry and 20 deg. hook angle work together to prioritize cut speed without sacrificing edge quality, exactly what framing crews need to keep pace on large-scale builds.
• Compatible with both cordless circular saws and portable table saws, giving framing professionals one blade solution that transitions between tools without swapping hardware.
• The 8,300 RPM rating means this blade keeps up with high-speed cordless platforms, making it a dependable choice for crews relying on battery-powered tools where maximizing cutting speed per charge matters.
• The 10-piece bulk masterpack format makes this an economical supply solution for contractors managing multiple saws or extended framing projects, reducing the frequency and cost of individual blade purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is the CMT ITK-Plus 7-1/4" Fast Framing Blade compatible with?

This blade is suitable for cordless circular saws and portable table saws. Blade diameter compatibility is contingent on machine type, so verify your saw accepts a 7-1/4" blade with a 5/8" bore before installing.

What does the 10 ATB+S tooth grind mean for my cuts?

ATB+S stands for Alternate Top Bevel with Shear. This geometry alternates the bevel direction on each tooth and adds a shear angle, which promotes cleaner entry and exit cuts in wood, plywood, OSB, and hardboard while maintaining the fast cut speed needed for framing work.

What is the maximum RPM rating for this blade, and why does it matter?

This blade is rated for up to 8,300 RPM. Choosing a blade rated at or above your saw's no-load RPM is essential for safe operation. Always confirm your saw's RPM specification does not exceed the blade's maximum rating before use.

Why buy the 10-piece bulk masterpack instead of individual blades?

The 10-piece bulk masterpack is designed for contractors and framing crews who go through blades regularly on large projects. Having 10 blades on hand means less downtime waiting for replacements and a lower per-blade cost compared to purchasing individually.
