The CMT ITK Contractor Saw Blade Finish 12" x 1" T60 ATB is a 60-tooth finish circular saw blade engineered for clean, precise crosscuts in soft wood, hard wood, plywood, and OSB panels. Designed for contractors and finish carpenters who demand smooth results, this 12-inch blade handles finishing crosscuts and occasional rip cuts on miter saws, table saws, and other 12-inch circular saw machines. The Alternate Top Bevel tooth geometry and hardmetal carbide construction make it a reliable choice for trim work, cabinet installations, and panel cutting where surface quality matters.

Key Features

• 60 ATB Teeth with 10 deg. Alternate Top Bevel grind - the high tooth count and bevel geometry shear wood fibers cleanly, reducing tear-out and leaving a finish-ready surface on soft wood, hard wood, plywood, and OSB.
• 18 deg. hook (cutting) angle - a positive hook angle feeds material efficiently during crosscuts while maintaining control, reducing the effort needed to push stock through the cut.
• 0.102 in. kerf thickness with 0.071 in. plate thickness - the thin kerf design removes less material per pass, reducing waste and putting less load on the saw motor for smoother, more efficient cutting.
• 25.4 mm (1 in.) bore diameter - fits standard 1-inch arbors found on most 12-inch miter saws, table saws, and portable circular saws, allowing straightforward installation without adapters.
• 6,400 RPM maximum speed rating - rated for the high-speed operation common to contractor-grade and stationary 12-inch saw machines, supporting safe, stable cutting performance.
• Hardmetal (HW) carbide tips - tungsten carbide cutting edges hold their sharpness longer than standard steel through demanding finish and panel cutting tasks, extending the time between sharpenings.
• ITK Contractor Series design - purpose-built for contractors who need a dependable finishing blade that transitions between crosscutting and occasional rip cuts without swapping blades on the job site.

Why This Product

• Finish quality on a contractor's schedule - 60 ATB teeth with a 10 deg. bevel angle produce clean, splinter-free edges in plywood and hardwood, so trim pieces and panel cuts are ready to install without additional sanding or cleanup.
• Versatile enough for mixed materials on the job site - rated for soft wood, hard wood, plywood, and OSB panels in a single blade, this 12-inch saw blade reduces the need to carry multiple blades when cutting various sheet goods and solid lumber on the same project.
• Thin-kerf efficiency on a wide range of 12-inch machines - the 0.102 in. kerf puts less strain on the motor, making this blade well-suited for both portable table saws and stationary 12-inch miter or table saw setups running up to 6,400 RPM.
• Hardmetal carbide tips for lasting sharpness - HW carbide construction holds a sharp edge through repeated crosscuts in demanding materials, giving contractors more cuts per blade before a resharpening is needed.
