Product Description
CMT OMF161-X50 2-9/16" Plunge Cut Blade for Wood and Nails is a bi-metal oscillating blade engineered for demanding plunge and flush-cut work in wood containing embedded nails and fasteners. Built with a BIM (bi-metal) construction and a StarlockPlus arbor interface, this blade delivers controlled, precise cuts in lumber, framing, and reclaimed wood where hidden hardware is a constant hazard. The 50-piece contractor pack keeps a full supply of fresh cutting edges on hand for high-volume jobsite use.
Key Features
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible spring-steel body allow the blade to cut through wood and embedded nails without snapping or premature dulling, reducing blade change frequency on demanding jobs.
- 2-9/16" Cutting Width - a wide blade profile covers more surface area per stroke, making it well suited for plunge cuts in door casings, subfloor patches, and framing lumber.
- 2" Cutting Height (Depth) - reaches deep enough into thick lumber and dimensional framing stock for full, complete plunge cuts without repositioning.
- TS 1.4 - TPI 18 Tooth Configuration - an 18-tooth-per-inch tooth count balances cut speed with surface quality, handling both wood fibers and nail shank material in a single pass.
- StarlockPlus (SLP) Arbor Interface - the StarlockPlus mount provides a secure, tool-free blade change on compatible multi-cutters and transfers power more efficiently than older star-style arbors, reducing energy loss and vibration.
- 50-Piece Bulk Pack - a high-quantity contractor pack minimizes downtime from blade shortages on multi-day or multi-crew projects.
Why This Product
- For renovation and demolition work where nails and fasteners are unpredictable hazards, the BIM construction of this blade handles wood-with-nails in a single tool pass - eliminating the need to stop, locate hardware, and switch blades between materials.
- The 50-piece pack paired with a 2-9/16" wide cutting profile makes this a practical choice for crews completing repetitive plunge cuts - such as undercutting door frames, notching subfloor, or trimming framing - where blade turnover is high and downtime is costly.
