The CMT ITK-Plus Finish Blade for Plywood is a high-tooth-count circular saw blade engineered specifically for ultra-smooth, tearout-free cuts in plywood, laminate, veneered plywood, and plastic. Measuring 7-1/4 in. in diameter with a 5/8 in. bore, this blade packs 140 milled and side-set high-quality steel teeth into an ATB (Alternating Top Bevel) grind pattern - delivering the kind of fine finish that demanding woodworking and panel cutting applications require. Whether you are trimming laminate sheets, crosscutting veneered panels, or ripping plywood on a cordless circular saw, this blade is purpose-built to produce clean, splinter-free edges on both faces. This listing includes a 10-piece bulk masterpack, making it an economical choice for professional contractors and high-volume shop environments.

Key Features

• 140 High-Quality Steel Teeth (ATB Grind) - The exceptional tooth count combined with an Alternating Top Bevel grind means each tooth slices cleanly through plywood fibers and laminate surfaces, dramatically reducing tearout on both the top and bottom faces of the panel.
• Milled and Side-Set Tooth Construction - High-quality steel teeth are precision-milled and side-set to produce an ultra-fine finish in plywood and laminate where carbide-tipped blades may produce excessive tearout or chipping.
• 5 deg. Hook Angle - A positive 5 deg. cutting angle provides controlled, stable feed through sheet goods, helping maintain accuracy and reducing the risk of the blade grabbing or surging during the cut.
• Thin Kerf Design (0.071 in. Kerf / 0.063 in. Plate) - The slim kerf removes less material per pass, which reduces strain on cordless tool batteries and lower-powered circular saws, extending both blade life and tool runtime.
• 7-1/4 in. Diameter with 5/8 in. Bore - Standard sizing ensures compatibility with the vast majority of circular saws and cordless circular saws on the market, making this a versatile drop-in upgrade for finish cutting tasks.
• Up to 8,300 RPM Rating - Rated for high-speed operation so the blade performs reliably under the demands of repeated plywood and laminate panel processing without compromising safety or cut quality.
• 10-Piece Bulk Masterpack - Supplied in a contractor-ready bulk pack of 10 blades, reducing per-unit cost and ensuring a ready supply for ongoing or large-scale panel cutting projects.

Why This Product

• Specialized for finish cutting on sheet goods - With 140 teeth in an ATB configuration, this blade is designed from the ground up to handle plywood, laminate, veneered plywood, and plastic with minimal tearout - not a general-purpose blade pressed into a finish-cutting role.
• Works with both corded and cordless circular saws - The 7-1/4 in. diameter and thin-kerf geometry make this blade practical for use on cordless tools where battery efficiency matters, as well as on full-size corded circular saws.
• High RPM rating for demanding production use - Rated to 8,300 RPM, this blade is suited for sustained, high-volume cutting tasks in professional environments without sacrificing finish quality.
• Bulk pack value for professional applications - The 10-piece masterpack format is explicitly designed for contractors and shops that cycle through finish blades regularly, providing a consistent supply of sharp, ready-to-use blades at reduced per-unit cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of materials can this blade cut?

This blade is designed for finish cutting on plywood, laminate, veneered plywood, and plastic. It is suited for both ripping and crosscutting on these sheet goods and is specifically intended for heavy-duty panel applications where a clean, tearout-free edge is required.

What machines is this blade compatible with?

The CMT ITK-Plus finish blade is compatible with circular saws and cordless circular saws. Its standard 7-1/4 in. diameter and 5/8 in. bore fit the vast majority of saws in those categories.

Why does this blade use high-quality steel teeth instead of carbide?

High-quality steel teeth that are precision-milled and side-set are particularly effective for producing an ultra-fine finish on plywood and laminate surfaces. In finish cutting applications on these materials, this tooth construction is optimized to minimize tearout on both panel faces.

How many blades are included in this listing, and is that indicated in the product data?

Yes - this listing is explicitly a 10-piece bulk masterpack (MPN: P07140-X10). The pack format is designed for professional and high-volume use where having a ready supply of finish blades on hand reduces downtime between blade changes.
