The CMT ITK-Plus Non-Ferrous Metal and Composite Decking Blade is a 7-1/4 in. circular saw blade engineered for clean, burr-free cuts through aluminum, copper, brass, plastics, fiberglass, laminates, melamine, and composite decking materials. Featuring a 56-tooth Triple Chip Grind (TCG) configuration and a negative hook angle, this blade controls material feed, prevents grabbing, and delivers professional-quality results on miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws alike. Whether you are cutting Trex composite decking boards, aluminum extrusions, or melamine-faced panels, this blade's geometry and hardened carbide teeth are purpose-built for non-ferrous and composite applications where standard wood-cutting blades fall short.

Key Features

• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Tooth Geometry - alternating flat and chamfered teeth shear through non-ferrous metals, fiber-reinforced composites, and laminates without chipping edges or leaving burrs, reducing secondary finishing work.
• 56 Carbide Teeth - high tooth count spreads the cutting load across more contact points, resulting in smoother cut surfaces on composite decking, melamine, and aluminum compared to lower-tooth blades.
• Negative -6 deg. Hook Angle - pulls back against the workpiece rather than pulling the blade forward, controlling feed rate and significantly reducing the risk of grabbing or kickback in non-ferrous metal cuts.
• Hardmetal (HW) Carbide Construction - industrial-grade carbide tips maintain sharp cutting edges longer under the abrasive demands of composite decking and non-ferrous metal cutting, extending blade service life.
• 0.087 in. Kerf Thickness with 0.063 in. Plate - the wider kerf relative to plate thickness provides side clearance that prevents binding, while the slim plate reduces material waste and demands less power from the saw.
• 8,300 RPM Rating - rated for high-speed operation to match the demands of contractor-grade miter saws and stationary table saws used in production decking and fabrication work.
• 15.87mm Bore Diameter - precision-ground arbor hole ensures true, wobble-free mounting on compatible saws, supporting cut accuracy and blade longevity.

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for non-ferrous metals and composite decking - this blade addresses the unique challenges of cutting materials like aluminum, copper, and Trex that standard wood blades cannot handle safely or cleanly.
• The TCG tooth grind paired with a -6 deg. hook angle makes it a controlled, anti-grabbing solution for cutting aluminum extrusions, brass fittings, and hard laminates where material catch-and-throw is a real hazard.
• A 56-tooth count at 7-1/4 in. diameter means this blade delivers crosscuts and rip cuts with minimal tearout on melamine, veneered plywood, laminate flooring, and composite decking boards - finishes that matter in visible deck and interior applications.
• Compatible with miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws, offering versatility across the job site so contractors can use one blade across multiple machine setups without switching to a different specialty blade for each tool.
