Product Description
The CMT ITK-Plus General Purpose Blade is a 10-inch, 40-tooth carbide-tipped saw blade engineered for ripping and crosscutting hardwood, softwood, and plywood on miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws. With an Alternate Top Bevel plus Shear (ATB+S) tooth grind at 15 deg. and a kerf of 0.110 inches, this blade delivers clean, accurate cuts across a wide range of solid wood and sheet goods without changing blades between operations.
Key Features
- ATB+S Tooth Geometry at 15 deg. - the Alternate Top Bevel plus Shear configuration slices wood fibers cleanly on both rip and cross cuts, reducing tear-out and producing smoother surfaces in hardwood, softwood, and plywood.
- 40-Tooth Carbide (HW) Configuration - hardmetal carbide tips stay sharp through extended cutting sessions, giving you a longer service life between sharpenings compared to standard steel teeth.
- 0.110-inch Kerf Thickness - a full-kerf design provides stable, controlled cuts and minimizes blade deflection, which means straighter results through dense hardwoods and thick sheet goods.
- 0.071-inch Plate Thickness - a precisely milled steel plate body maintains tight dimensional tolerances, keeping the blade true under load and reducing vibration during cuts.
- 5/8-inch Bore Diameter - fits the standard 5/8-inch arbor found on the majority of 10-inch miter saws and table saws, making this blade a direct drop-in replacement without adapters.
- 7,600 RPM Maximum Speed - rated for high-speed operation so the blade can be used safely on full-power stationary table saws and corded miter saws without exceeding safety limits.
- Multi-Machine Compatibility - designed to mount and perform on miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws, so one blade covers multiple tools in the shop.
Why This Product
- One blade handles both ripping and crosscutting in hardwood, softwood, and plywood, eliminating the need to swap dedicated blades mid-project and keeping work moving efficiently.
- The ATB+S grind at 15 deg. addresses one of the most common frustrations with general-purpose blades - rough exit surfaces - by slicing wood fibers rather than scraping them, so cuts need less sanding and cleanup.
- At 7,600 RPM maximum speed, this blade is rated for the full operating range of most 10-inch stationary table saws and miter saws, giving users confidence that the blade is matched to their machine's power output.
- The standard 5/8-inch bore fits virtually every 10-inch miter saw, radial arm saw, and table saw arbor on the market, making this a practical, low-friction upgrade for any general-purpose cutting station.

Frequently Asked Questions
What machines is this blade compatible with?
This blade is designed for use on miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws equipped with a standard 5/8-inch arbor. The bore diameter of 15.88mm (5/8 inch) fits the arbor found on most 10-inch saws of these types without any adapter required.
What does the ATB+S tooth grind mean and why does it matter?
ATB+S stands for Alternate Top Bevel plus Shear. This tooth geometry combines the alternating bevel angle - set at 15 deg. on this blade - with a shear component that helps slice cleanly through wood fibers on both rip cuts and crosscuts. The result is reduced tear-out and smoother cut surfaces in hardwood, softwood, and plywood compared to a standard flat-top or basic ATB grind.
What is the maximum operating speed for this blade?
The CMT ITK-Plus P10042 is rated to a maximum of 7,600 RPM. Always verify that your saw's no-load speed does not exceed this rating before mounting the blade, and consult your saw's manual for the recommended blade speed for your specific application.
Can this blade handle both ripping and crosscutting without swapping blades?
Yes. The 40-tooth ATB+S configuration is purpose-built for general-purpose use, covering both rip cuts along the grain and crosscuts across the grain in hardwood, softwood, and plywood. This makes it a practical single-blade solution for general woodworking and framing tasks where switching between dedicated rip and crosscut blades is not convenient.
