CMT 5/8" Angled Gouging Blade with StarlockPlus Arbor (HCS) by CMT is a precision oscillating tool blade engineered specifically for cutting, gouging, and digging out flexible materials such as sealant, caulk, and silicone from tight recesses and narrow crevices. The angled profile is purpose-built for marine maintenance tasks - ideal for reworking teak deck seams, cabin joints, rails, gunwales, cleats, and curved surfaces where a standard flat blade simply cannot reach. Constructed from High-Carbon Steel and fitted with a StarlockPlus arbor interface, this single-piece blade delivers controlled, clean removal of soft materials without damaging surrounding surfaces.

Key Features

• StarlockPlus arbor compatibility - interfaces with any multi-cutter tool that accepts a StarlockPlus arbor, ensuring a secure, high-torque connection and vibration-reduced performance during extended gouging work.
• Angled gouging blade profile - the narrow angled geometry reaches into tight notches, recesses, and crevices that flat blades cannot access, making sealant removal faster and more precise.
• High-Carbon Steel (HCS) construction - provides the hardness and edge retention needed for repetitive cutting and gouging of soft materials like silicone, caulk, and flexible sealant without dulling prematurely.
• 4mm blade thickness with 11x16mm geometry - the slim kerf and compact dimensions allow the blade to work within panelled deck seams and curved joints without over-cutting or damaging adjacent surfaces.
• Specialized for marine and boat maintenance - designed to handle the repetitive demands of reworking cabins, rails, gunwales, cleats, and curved deck structures where precision removal of aged sealant is critical.
• Tooth thickness of 0.157" - the controlled blade thickness delivers consistent cuts in soft and flexible materials, reducing tear-out and keeping seam edges clean for re-sealing.
• Sold as a single piece - allows targeted purchase for specific job needs without requiring a multi-pack, useful for specialty marine maintenance tasks.

Why This Product

• The angled blade geometry is specifically shaped to cut sealant from panelled boat decks - addressing a task that standard straight oscillating blades handle poorly due to their inability to reach into tight curved joints and narrow deck seams.
• HCS construction gives this blade the durability to gouge and dig through stubborn silicone, caulk, and flexible sealant repeatedly, making it well suited to full boat refits involving rails, gunwales, and cabin recesses.
• The StarlockPlus arbor mount ensures this blade fits securely on compatible oscillating multi-cutters, providing a stable cutting platform that reduces blade wobble when working in narrow, hard-to-reach crevices.
• At 0.157" tooth thickness and a compact 11x16mm blade face, this tool removes material from tight recesses without widening the seam or causing collateral damage to surrounding deck panels or fittings.
