Product Description
CMT OMM16-X1 1-3/4" Plunge and Flush-Cut Oscillating Blade for Wood and Metal is a professional-grade bi-metal oscillating blade with Titanium Nitride (BIM+TiN) coating, engineered for demanding plunge cuts and flush cuts across a wide range of materials including wood with nails, plasterboard, plastic, sheet metal, copper pipes, and aluminum profiles. The 45mm universal arbor interface makes this blade compatible with most oscillating multi-cutters on the market, giving tradespeople and contractors a versatile cutting solution that installs in seconds and delivers extended service life compared to standard bi-metal blades.
Key Features
- BIM+TiN Construction - the bi-metal body combined with a Titanium Nitride coating delivers extreme cutting performance and significantly longer blade life versus standard BIM blades, meaning fewer blade changes and lower cost per cut when working through nail-embedded wood, sheet metal, or plastic.
- 18 TPI Tooth Count - 18 teeth per inch provides a balance of cut speed and surface quality suited for flush cutting nails, slicing through copper pipes and aluminum profiles, and plunge cutting in plasterboard without excessive material tearout.
- 1-3/4" Cutting Width - a wide blade face gives the operator good control and efficient material removal during plunge and flush cutting operations across diverse substrates.
- 1-7/8" Cutting Height (Depth) - generous cutting depth capacity allows the blade to reach into thicker workpieces and make full plunge cuts through typical wall, floor, and pipe applications in one pass.
- 45mm Universal Arbor Interface - the universal arbor design fits most oscillating multi-cutter brands and models, so this single blade works across your existing tool inventory without requiring adapters.
- Multi-Material Capability - engineered to cut wood and nails, plasterboard, plastic, sheet metal, copper pipes, and aluminum pipes and profiles, reducing the need to swap blades between tasks on a job site.
- Sold as a Single Piece - available individually so you can stock exactly the quantity you need without committing to a multi-pack.
Why This Product
- The BIM+TiN coating extends blade life beyond what a standard bi-metal blade delivers, making this a cost-effective choice for contractors who regularly cut through nail-embedded lumber, metal pipe, or sheet metal and want to minimize downtime from blade changes.
- The 45mm universal arbor means this blade slots into most oscillating multi-cutters - from Fein and Festool to Bosch, Makita, Milwaukee, and DeWalt - so there is no need to purchase a brand-specific blade for each tool in the shop or on the truck.
- Flush cutting nails flush with a surface, slicing copper plumbing pipes in a tight space, and plunge cutting access holes in plasterboard are all tasks this single blade handles, reducing the number of specialty blades a tradesperson needs to carry.
- With 18 TPI and a 1-7/8" cutting depth, this blade is sized and toothed for real-world renovation and remodeling tasks where the material type changes from one cut to the next and a single reliable blade needs to keep up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a standard BIM blade and a BIM+TiN blade?
A standard BIM (bi-metal) blade uses a high-speed steel tooth edge welded to a flexible alloy steel body. The CMT OMM16-X1 adds a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating on top of that bi-metal construction, which increases surface hardness and reduces friction. The result is a longer service life compared to a standard BIM blade - particularly when cutting metal, nail-embedded wood, and plastic.
Will this blade fit my oscillating multi-cutter?
The OMM16-X1 uses a 45mm universal arbor interface, which is designed to fit most oscillating multi-cutter tools without requiring a separate adapter. This includes tools from brands such as Fein SuperCut, Festool Vecturo, Bosch, Makita, Milwaukee, and DeWalt, among others. Always verify your specific tool's arbor compatibility before installing any blade.
Can this blade cut through metal as well as wood?
Yes. The OMM16-X1 is specifically designed for multi-material cutting. Its BIM+TiN construction and 18 TPI tooth count allow it to cut wood with embedded nails, sheet metal, copper pipes, aluminum pipes and profiles, plasterboard, and plastic - making it a practical single-blade solution for renovation and remodeling work where material types change frequently.
What does 18 TPI mean for cutting performance?
TPI stands for teeth per inch. At 18 TPI, the OMM16-X1 is configured for controlled, relatively smooth cuts across both wood-based and metal materials. A higher TPI count like 18 is well suited for cutting thinner metals such as sheet metal and copper pipe while still being effective in wood and plasterboard applications.
