Product Description
CMT OMF237 1-1/4" BIM TiN Plunge and Flush-Cut Blade for Metal - StarlockPlus is a high-performance oscillating multitool blade engineered for demanding cutting applications in metal, stainless steel, copper, hard plastics, fiberglass (GRP), plasterboard, and wood with embedded nails. The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating over a Bi-Metal (BIM) body delivers extended blade life and aggressive cutting capability in materials up to 40-50 HRC in hardness - making it a go-to choice for professionals who need precision plunge cuts and flush cuts in tough conditions. Sold as a single blade with a StarlockPlus arbor interface for a secure, tool-free fit on compatible oscillating multi-cutters.
Key Features
- BIM + TiN Construction - the Bi-Metal body with Titanium Nitride coating handles hardness ratings up to 40-50 HRC, meaning the blade stays sharp and effective through stainless steel, copper, and similarly tough materials where standard BIM blades wear prematurely.
- StarlockPlus (SLP) Arbor Interface - the universal StarlockPlus mount connects directly to compatible oscillating multi-cutter tools for a rigid, high-torque connection that reduces energy loss and vibration during cuts.
- 1-1/4" (32mm) Blade Width - a narrow profile designed for precise plunge and flush cuts in tight spaces, giving the operator better control and accuracy compared to wider blades.
- 2-3/8" Cutting Height - generous cutting depth allows the blade to reach into deeper material sections without repositioning, improving efficiency on thicker stock or layered assemblies.
- 1.2 TS - 21 TPI Tooth Configuration - fine tooth geometry delivers very thin, clean kerf cuts with effective chip removal, reducing cleanup time and producing a neater finished cut in metal and hard plastics.
- Narrow Waist Blade Profile - the waist design accelerates chip evacuation and allows faster cutting strokes, keeping the work area clear and reducing heat buildup during extended use.
- Wide Material Compatibility - rated for metal, stainless steel, copper, plasterboard, hard plastics, fiberglass (GRP), and wood with nails, so a single blade handles multiple materials across varied job-site tasks.
Why This Product
- Professionals cutting stainless steel, copper, or hardened metal up to 40-50 HRC need a blade that resists dulling - the TiN coating on this BIM blade directly addresses that wear problem without requiring frequent blade swaps.
- The StarlockPlus interface ensures a locked-in, vibration-minimized connection to compatible oscillating tools, which translates to more precise control when making flush cuts along surfaces or plunge cuts in confined areas.
- The 21 TPI fine-tooth geometry paired with the narrow waist design produces thin, clean cuts with fast chip removal - ideal for tasks in fiberglass (GRP), hard plastics, and plasterboard where a rough cut would mean extra finishing work.
- A single blade compatible with metal, nail-embedded wood, hard plastics, fiberglass, and plasterboard means fewer blade changes and less downtime on multi-material projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What arbor system does the CMT OMF237 use, and which tools are compatible?
This blade uses the StarlockPlus (SLP) arbor interface. It is compatible with oscillating multi-cutter tools that accept the StarlockPlus mounting system. The StarlockPlus connection provides a secure, high-torque fit that minimizes vibration during plunge and flush-cut operations.
What is the maximum hardness rating this blade can handle?
The CMT OMF237 BIM TiN blade is rated for cutting metal materials up to 40-50 HRC in hardness. The Titanium Nitride coating over the Bi-Metal body enables it to cut through stainless steel, copper, and similarly hard materials that would rapidly dull a standard BIM blade.
What does the 1.2 TS - 21 TPI tooth specification mean for cut quality?
The 1.2 TS - 21 TPI designation indicates a fine tooth pitch that produces very thin, precise kerfs. This geometry supports clean plunge cuts and flush cuts with good chip removal, which is especially important when working in hard plastics, fiberglass (GRP), or metal where a rough cut edge would require additional finishing.
Can this blade be used on wood as well as metal?
Yes. The CMT OMF237 is approved for use in wood with embedded nails in addition to metal, stainless steel, copper, plasterboard, hard plastics, and fiberglass (GRP). The BIM TiN construction allows it to handle nail-embedded wood without the rapid tooth damage that would occur with a standard metal-only blade.
