Product Description
The CMT ITK-Plus Ripping Blade is a 10-inch, 24-tooth carbide-tipped saw blade engineered for fast, efficient ripping cuts through hardwood and softwood on miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws. Built with an ATB+S tooth grind at 10 deg. and a full-body steel plate, this ripping blade delivers clean, aggressive stock removal with the precision and durability professionals expect from CMT's ITK-Plus line.
Key Features
- 24-Tooth ATB+S Configuration at 10 deg. Cutting Angle - the alternating top bevel geometry with raker tooth combination removes material aggressively along the grain, reducing tear-out and producing cleaner rip cuts in both hardwood and softwood without excessive feed resistance.
- Carbide-Tipped Teeth (HW Material Grade) - tungsten carbide tips maintain a sharp cutting edge through demanding ripping tasks, extending the blade's working life and reducing the frequency of resharpening compared to standard steel teeth.
- 0.102-Inch Kerf with 0.071-Inch Plate Thickness - the generous kerf-to-plate ratio provides lateral clearance during the cut, reducing friction, heat buildup, and blade binding even during prolonged ripping sessions.
- 5/8-Inch Bore Diameter (15.88mm) - the standard 5/8-inch arbor fit is compatible with the vast majority of 10-inch table saws, miter saws, and radial arm saws, making this blade a straightforward drop-in replacement for most shop setups.
- 7,600 Maximum RPM Rating - the blade is rated for high-speed operation, allowing it to run safely on stationary table saws and other machines that push higher spindle speeds during heavy ripping work.
- Full-Body Steel Plate Construction - the rigid plate maintains consistent blade stability under load, minimizing deflection and helping to keep rip cuts straight and true over the full length of a board.
Why This Product
- With only 24 teeth and an ATB+S grind at 10 deg., this blade is purpose-built for ripping - it clears chips efficiently along the grain, so cuts stay fast and the blade runs cooler than higher-tooth-count blades used for the same task.
- The 7,600 RPM rating gives this blade headroom to run safely on powerful stationary table saws and radial arm saws where standard blades may be pushed near or beyond their rated limits during heavy ripping operations.
- The 5/8-inch bore makes this blade universally compatible with virtually all 10-inch miter saws and table saws, eliminating the need for adapter rings or special mounting hardware when switching between machines.
- The combination of carbide-tipped teeth and a robust kerf-to-plate ratio means the blade handles both hardwood and softwood in a single setup - reducing the need to swap blades when working with mixed lumber species on the job or in the shop.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of cut is this blade designed for?
This blade is specifically designed for ripping - cutting wood parallel to the grain. The 24-tooth ATB+S configuration and 10 deg. cutting angle are optimized for fast, aggressive material removal along the grain in hardwood and softwood, rather than crosscutting applications.
What machines is the CMT ITK-Plus P10024 compatible with?
This blade is compatible with miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws equipped with a standard 5/8-inch arbor. Its 7,600 RPM rating accommodates the higher spindle speeds common on stationary table saws and larger miter saws.
What does the ATB+S tooth grind mean and how does it affect performance?
ATB+S stands for Alternating Top Bevel plus a Raker tooth. In this grind, alternating teeth are beveled in opposite directions while a flat raker tooth follows to clear chips from the kerf. At 10 deg., this configuration is well-suited to ripping, providing a balance of cutting speed, chip evacuation, and surface quality when cutting along the grain in hardwood and softwood.
What is the difference between the kerf thickness and plate thickness on this blade?
The kerf thickness of 0.102 inches refers to the total width of the cut the blade removes, determined by the width of the carbide teeth. The plate thickness of 0.071 inches is the thickness of the steel body of the blade itself. The difference between these two measurements creates clearance on each side of the plate, which reduces friction and heat buildup during ripping cuts.
