The CMT ITK-Plus Melamine and Ultra Finish Blade - 10 in. x 5/8 in. with 80 teeth and ATB+Shear geometry is engineered for woodworkers and cabinetmakers who demand chip-free, glass-smooth surfaces when cutting melamine, laminate, veneered plywood, chipboard, and hardwood. The Hi-ATB 30 deg. tooth grind combined with a 5 deg. cutting angle produces ultra-fine finishes on both faces of the material, making this blade a reliable choice for miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws where surface quality is critical.

Key Features

• Hi-ATB 30 deg. Tooth Geometry - the High Alternate Top Bevel sharpening angle slices through melamine and laminate faces cleanly, drastically reducing tearout and leaving surfaces that require little to no sanding.
• ATB+Shear Grind Configuration - the combined ATB and shear grind pattern handles both rip cuts and crosscuts across a wide range of panel materials, giving one blade the versatility to serve multiple workstation setups.
• 80-Tooth Count - the high tooth count means more cutting edges contact the material per revolution, producing ultra-fine finishes on hardwood, veneered plywood, chipboard, and molding where surface quality matters most.
• 0.110 in. Kerf Thickness - a precisely controlled kerf removes only the material necessary, reducing waste and putting less demand on the saw motor during stationary table saw and miter saw operation.
• 0.071 in. Plate Thickness - a thin, stable plate maintains lateral rigidity while keeping vibration low, contributing directly to cut accuracy and smooth surface results on laminate and melamine panels.
• 5/8 in. Bore (15.88 mm) - the standard 5/8 in. arbor bore fits the vast majority of 10 in. miter saws and table saws without requiring reducer bushings or adapters.
• 7,600 RPM Maximum Rating - the blade is rated to handle the full speed range of typical 10 in. stationary and portable table saws, ensuring safe, controlled performance at operating speeds.
• Hardened Tungsten Carbide (HW) Tips - carbide-tipped teeth retain a sharp cutting edge far longer than steel alone, extending the service life of the blade through repeated cuts in abrasive materials like chipboard and melamine.

Why This Product

• Melamine and laminate surfaces are notoriously difficult to cut without chipping - the Hi-ATB 30 deg. sharpening geometry on this 80-tooth blade addresses that problem directly by slicing rather than tearing through the fragile face layers.
• Woodworkers who cut rip and crosscut applications on the same machine benefit from the ATB+Shear grind, which handles both cut directions across hardwood, veneered plywood, chipboard, and molding without switching blades.
• With a maximum rating of 7,600 RPM, this blade is compatible with the full operating speed of most 10 in. miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws, reducing the need to check compatibility across multiple machines in a shop.
• The combination of a 0.110 in. kerf and 0.071 in. plate delivers a precise, stable cut path - important when working with expensive veneered plywood or melamine-faced panels where off-cuts have value and waste is costly.
