Product Description
The CMT ITK Contractor Saw Blade General Purpose 14" x 1" T60 ATB is a 60-tooth circular saw blade engineered for accurate rip cuts and crosscuts in soft and hardwood on portable, benchtop, and table saws. Built to ITK Contractor standards, this 14-inch blade delivers clean, consistent results across general construction and woodworking tasks where both cutting precision and durability matter.
Key Features
- 60-Tooth ATB Geometry (10 deg. sharpening angle) - the Alternate Top Bevel tooth configuration slices cleanly across wood grain and along the grain, reducing tearout on rip cuts and crosscuts alike.
- 15 deg. hook angle - a positive hook angle pulls the blade into the material with controlled aggression, supporting smooth, efficient feeding on portable and stationary table saws.
- 0.126" kerf thickness with a 0.087" plate - the thin plate behind a full kerf cut minimizes material waste and reduces the load on saw motors during general construction use.
- 1-inch bore diameter (25.4mm) - fits the standard arbor size found on most 14-inch table saws and large benchtop saws, making installation straightforward with no adapters required for compatible machines.
- 5,500 RPM maximum speed rating - rated for the high-speed demands of portable and stationary 14-inch saws, supporting safe operation at full cutting capacity.
- HW (tungsten carbide) tooth material - hard-metal carbide tips maintain a sharp cutting edge longer than standard steel teeth, extending blade life under repeated use in soft and hardwood applications.
- 14-inch diameter - provides the depth of cut capacity needed for full-size ripping and crosscutting tasks on large-format construction saws.
Why This Product
- The 60-tooth ATB configuration handles both ripping and crosscutting in a single blade, making it a practical all-around choice for contractors who need one reliable blade for general jobsite and shop work in soft and hardwood.
- At 5,500 RPM maximum speed, this blade is rated for the full performance range of portable, benchtop, and stationary 14-inch table saws - so you are not limiting your machine to protect the blade.
- The 0.087" plate thickness paired with a 0.126" kerf keeps material removal narrow, which reduces sawdust volume and motor strain during extended rip and crosscut sessions on the jobsite.
- Tungsten carbide (HW) tooth material delivers edge retention that holds up through repeated cuts in both soft and hardwood, reducing the frequency of blade changes and sharpening on demanding construction schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of tooth geometry does this blade use, and why does it matter?
This blade uses an Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) grind with a 10 deg. sharpening angle. ATB geometry means alternating teeth are beveled in opposite directions, which allows the blade to score and shear wood fibers cleanly on both rip cuts and crosscuts - reducing splintering and delivering smoother cut edges compared to a flat-top grind on general purpose work.
What saws is this 14-inch blade compatible with?
This blade is designed for use on portable table saws, benchtop saws, and stationary table saws with a 1-inch (25.4mm) arbor. The maximum operating speed is 5,500 RPM - always confirm your saw does not exceed this rating before use.
What materials can this blade cut?
This ITK Contractor general purpose blade is designed to cut soft and hardwood. It handles both ripping (cutting along the grain) and crosscutting (cutting across the grain) in standard lumber and wood materials used in construction and woodworking applications.
What is the difference between the kerf thickness and the plate thickness on this blade?
The kerf thickness is 0.126" - this is the total width of the cut the blade makes through the material, determined by the carbide tooth width. The plate thickness is 0.087" - this is the thinner steel body of the blade itself. The difference between these two measurements provides clearance so the plate does not bind in the cut, and the thinner plate reduces motor load and material waste during cutting.
