Product Description
CMT OMM16-X5 1-3/4" Plunge and Flush-Cut Oscillating Blade for Wood and Metal - BIM+TiN (5-Piece) is a professional-grade universal arbor saw blade engineered for demanding plunge cutting and flush cutting tasks across a wide range of materials. Featuring a bi-metal body with a Titanium Nitride coating, this blade tackles wood with embedded nails, plasterboard, plastics, sheet metal, copper pipe, and aluminium profiles with a single tool. The 5-piece value pack keeps fresh blades on hand for high-volume or multi-trade work, making it a smart choice for contractors and serious DIYers alike.
Key Features
- BIM+TiN (Bi-Metal + Titanium Nitride) Construction - the TiN coating applied over the bi-metal body delivers extra-long service life, extending blade longevity and reducing tool change frequency on demanding cut-outs and flush trim work.
- 1-3/4" Blade Width with 1-7/8" Cutting Height - provides a generous cutting depth for plunge cuts into plasterboard, composite panels, and metal profiles without multiple passes.
- 18 TPI Tooth Configuration - 18 teeth per inch balances cutting speed and surface quality, producing cleaner edges in sheet metal, copper pipe, aluminium, and wood-based materials.
- Universal Arbor Compatibility - fits most oscillating multi-cutters on the market, so the same blade works across different brands and job sites without requiring an adapter change.
- Plunge and Flush-Cut Geometry - the blade profile is purpose-built for starting cuts in the middle of a workpiece (plunge) and trimming material flush to a surface, covering two of the most common oscillating tool operations.
- Multi-Material Capability - cuts wood with nails, plasterboard, plastic, sheet metal, copper and aluminium pipes and profiles in a single blade, reducing the need to swap blades mid-job.
- 5-Piece Pack - five identical blades per pack means extended productivity on long runs and reduced downtime waiting for replacements.
Why This Product
- For tradespeople cutting through nail-embedded wood, copper pipe, and sheet metal on the same job, the BIM+TiN construction handles all of those materials without switching to a dedicated blade for each.
- The universal arbor design means this blade works across oscillating multi-cutters from multiple brands, making it a versatile addition to a mixed-brand tool inventory.
- The 18 TPI configuration and 1-7/8" cutting height are well suited for plasterboard cut-outs and copper pipe cuts in renovation and fit-out work where clean, controlled penetration matters.
- Buying in a 5-piece pack provides a cost-effective supply of fresh blades for continuous work, so blade degradation does not slow down production on larger projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the CMT OMM16-X5 cut?
This blade is designed to cut wood and nails, plasterboard, plastic, sheet metal, copper and aluminium pipes and profiles. The BIM+TiN construction makes it suitable for use across all of these material types with a single blade.
Will this blade fit my oscillating multi-cutter?
Yes. The OMM16-X5 uses a universal arbor that is compatible with most oscillating multi-cutter brands and models, so it can be used across different tools without requiring a separate adapter in most cases.
What is the difference between BIM+TiN and a standard bi-metal blade?
BIM+TiN means the bi-metal blade body has an additional Titanium Nitride coating applied to it. This coating is described as providing extra-long life compared to a standard BIM blade, particularly when cutting metal, nail-embedded wood, and plastic.
Can this blade make both plunge cuts and flush cuts?
Yes. The OMM16-X5 is specifically engineered for both plunge cutting - starting a cut from the surface down into a workpiece - and flush cutting, such as trimming a nail flush to a surface or cutting material level with an adjacent face. Both operations are supported by the same blade geometry.
