The CMT ITK-Plus General Purpose Saw Blade is a 10 1/4 in. x 5/8 in. bore, 42-tooth hardwood-tipped circular saw blade engineered for versatile ripping and crosscutting in hardwood, softwood, and plywood. Built for miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws, this general purpose blade delivers precise, clean results across a wide range of wood-cutting tasks - making it a dependable everyday workhorse for both professional contractors and serious woodworkers.

Key Features

• 42-Tooth ATB 10 deg. Grind - the Alternate Top Bevel tooth geometry at 10 deg. shears wood fibers cleanly on both rip cuts and crosscuts, reducing tear-out and producing smooth edges in hardwood, softwood, and plywood.
• 10 deg. Hook Angle - a positive 10 deg. cutting angle provides an aggressive, efficient feed rate so the blade moves through material with less effort and reduced operator fatigue.
• Hardwood-Tipped (HW) Carbide Teeth - premium carbide tips maintain a sharp cutting edge under heavy use, extending blade life and reducing the frequency of sharpenings or replacements.
• 0.102 in. Kerf / 0.071 in. Plate - a thin kerf combined with a slim plate minimizes material waste and reduces the load on the saw motor, making this blade well suited for cordless and lower-power circular saws.
• 5/8 in. Bore with Knock-Out Pin Hole - the standard 5/8 in. arbor bore fits the widest range of compatible machines, and the knock-out pin hole accommodates additional arbor configurations without requiring an adapter.
• 7,300 RPM Maximum Speed - a high-rated maximum speed means the blade can safely handle fast-running saws without flexing or distorting, maintaining cut accuracy at full operating speed.
• 10 1/4 in. Diameter - sized specifically for Big Foot-style saws and other 10 1/4 in. circular saws, ensuring proper fit and full-depth cutting capacity on standard dimensional lumber.

Why This Product

• One blade handles both ripping and crosscutting in hardwood, softwood, and plywood - eliminating the need to swap blades mid-project and keeping work moving efficiently on the job site or in the shop.
• The 10 1/4 in. diameter fills a specific gap for Big Foot and similar large-format circular saws that cannot use a standard 10 in. or 12 in. blade - this is the purpose-built replacement those tools require.
• At 0.102 in. kerf and 0.071 in. plate thickness, this blade places minimal demand on the saw motor, making it a strong choice for cordless circular saws where battery draw and motor stress matter.
• With 42 ATB carbide teeth rated to 7,300 RPM, this blade balances tooth count, geometry, and speed rating to deliver consistent, finish-quality cuts across a general purpose range of material types and machine configurations.
