The CMT ITK-Plus Chipboard and Melamine Blade - 10" x 5/8" T60 TCG is a precision-engineered circular saw blade designed for clean, chip-free cuts in chipboard, melamine, MDF, laminate, plywood, and hardwood. Built with a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry and a 60-tooth configuration, this blade delivers smooth rip and cross cut results across a wide range of sheet goods and panel materials - making it a go-to choice for cabinetmakers, finish carpenters, and woodworking professionals who demand splinter-free edges on laminated and composite surfaces.

Key Features

• Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Tooth Geometry - alternating flat and chamfered teeth shear through melamine, chipboard, laminate, and MDF without chipping or grabbing, producing edges that require little to no secondary finishing.
• 60-Tooth Configuration - the high tooth count distributes cutting load evenly across each pass, resulting in finer, cleaner cuts on delicate laminated surfaces compared to lower tooth-count general-purpose blades.
• 10 deg. Hook Angle - a positive hook angle provides efficient material feed and helps maintain control during both rip cuts and cross cuts on hardwood and panel goods.
• 0.110" Kerf Thickness with 0.071" Plate - the kerf-to-plate ratio is optimized for stability and waste reduction, allowing precise cuts while minimizing material loss during ripping and crosscutting operations.
• HW (Tungsten Carbide) Tipped Teeth - hardmetal carbide tips retain a sharp cutting edge longer than standard steel teeth, reducing sharpening frequency and extending blade service life in demanding production environments.
• 5/8" Bore Diameter (15.88mm) - fits the standard 5/8" arbor found on most 10-inch miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws, making this blade a straightforward drop-in replacement.
• 7,600 RPM Maximum Speed Rating - rated for high-speed operation, allowing the blade to run safely and efficiently on full-power stationary and benchtop 10-inch saws.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for laminated and composite sheet goods - the TCG tooth geometry and 60-tooth count work together to prevent the tearout and edge chipping that standard ATB blades commonly cause on melamine-coated boards and plastic laminates.
• Versatile across multiple machine types - compatible with miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws, so a single blade covers rip and cross cut operations across the machinery in your shop without switching between setups.
• High RPM rating suits full-power saws - the 7,600 RPM maximum speed rating means this blade can safely operate at the full rated speed of most professional stationary and benchtop 10-inch saws, without requiring speed reduction or special precautions.
• Handles a broad material range in one blade - suitable for hardwood, plywood, chipboard, MDF, and laminate, reducing the need to swap blades when moving between material types on the same project or production run.
