Product Description
CMT OMM05-X1 1-5/16" Extra-Long Life Flush-Cut Blade for Wood - BIM by CMT is a professional-grade bi-metal oscillating blade engineered for precise plunge cuts and flush cuts in wood, blockboard, chipboard, plastic, pipes, and profiles. Featuring a universal arbor mount and an 18 TPI tooth configuration, this blade is built to handle demanding trim carpentry and renovation tasks - from flush-cutting dowels and tenons to cutting recesses for mains sockets and ventilation grilles in furniture and cabinetry. Sold as a single piece (1x), it is an ideal replacement or upgrade blade for any multi-cutter equipped with a universal arbor.
Key Features
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - the fusion of high-speed steel teeth with a flexible spring-steel body delivers extra-long service life compared to standard high-carbon steel (HCS) blades, reducing the need for frequent blade changes during extended work sessions.
- Universal Arbor Compatibility - fits most multi-cutter and oscillating tool platforms, so you can swap this blade onto your existing tool without needing a proprietary adapter.
- 18 TPI Tooth Configuration - 18 teeth per inch provides a balance of cutting speed and surface quality in wood, blockboard, chipboard, and plastic, producing cleaner results in finish and trim applications.
- 1-5/16" Blade Width with 1-5/8" Cutting Height - the wider profile and generous cutting depth let you reach into deeper material sections and make accurate flush cuts on protruding fasteners, dowels, and tenons in a single controlled pass.
- Plunge and Flush-Cut Geometry - the blade tip is shaped for straight plunge entry into material surfaces, making it practical for installing ventilation grilles, cutting door and window hardware recesses, and trimming components flush to a surface.
- Extra-Long Life Design - the BIM construction extends blade longevity when cutting through wood with embedded materials, reducing downtime and cost per cut on renovation and installation projects.
Why This Product
- Handles a wide range of materials - the BIM blade cuts wood, blockboard, chipboard, plastic, pipes, and profiles, making it a versatile single-blade solution for renovation, trim, and installation tasks rather than requiring multiple specialized blades.
- Designed for real-world installation scenarios - specifically suited for cutting recesses in furniture for mains sockets, fitting ventilation grilles, and flush-cutting wooden components like dowels and tenons, so it addresses tasks that come up repeatedly in finish carpentry and renovation work.
- Longer service life than HCS alternatives - the bi-metal construction means this blade stays sharp and functional through more cuts than a standard high-carbon steel blade, which matters when working across multiple installations in a single job.
- Universal arbor fit reduces tool clutter - because this blade uses a universal arbor (34 mm), it works with most oscillating multi-cutters already on the job site, eliminating the need for brand-specific adapters or extra tooling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of materials can this blade cut?
This blade is designed for use in wood, blockboard, chipboard, plastic, pipes, and profiles. The bi-metal construction allows it to handle both soft and hard wood varieties as well as non-ferrous materials commonly encountered in renovation and finish carpentry work.
Will this blade fit my oscillating multi-cutter?
Yes - the OMM05-X1 uses a universal arbor (34mm), which is compatible with most oscillating multi-cutter and multi-tool platforms. No proprietary adapter should be required for tools that accept a standard universal arbor interface.
Why is BIM better than a standard HCS blade for this type of work?
Bi-metal (BIM) blades bond high-speed steel teeth to a flexible spring-steel back, resulting in greater wear resistance and a longer usable life compared to high-carbon steel (HCS) blades. This extra-long life design is especially valuable when cutting through wood that may contain embedded materials, or when making repeated plunge and flush cuts across multiple work pieces.
What is the maximum cutting depth this blade can reach?
The OMM05-X1 has a cutting height of 1-5/8", which determines how deep into a material the blade can reach during plunge cuts. This depth is well suited for flush-cutting protruding dowels, tenons, and similar trim components as well as cutting recesses in furniture panels and similar substrates.
