Product Description
CMT 1-3/16" Plunge Cut Blade for Metal - BIM Starlock (50-Piece) is a professional-grade bi-metal oscillating blade engineered for precise plunge and flush cuts in sheet metal, non-ferrous pipe and profiles, hard plastics, and fiberglass (GRP). Designed with a Starlock arbor interface, this 30mm blade delivers the fine, thin, and controlled cuts that demanding metalworking and renovation applications require. The 50-piece contractor pack keeps job sites stocked and productive without frequent reordering.
Key Features
- Starlock Arbor Interface - fits all Starlock-compatible oscillating multi-tools without adapters, ensuring a secure, vibration-minimizing connection for controlled, accurate cuts.
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - combines high-speed steel teeth with a flexible spring-steel body, delivering durability in demanding metal and hard plastic cutting while resisting blade fatigue and breakage.
- 1.2 TS / 21 TPI Tooth Geometry - engineered for fine, thin, and precise cuts in sheet metal up to 2mm, giving the user exceptional control over each pass and minimizing material tear-out.
- 2" Cutting Depth - reaches deep enough to handle pipe profiles, thicker non-ferrous sections, and layered materials in a single plunge stroke without repositioning.
- Medium Waist Blade Profile - promotes faster cutting action and efficient swarf (chip) evacuation, reducing heat buildup and keeping the cut path clear for cleaner results.
- Plunge and Flush-Cut Capability - one blade handles both cut styles, reducing the need to swap tooling mid-task and improving workflow on complex jobs.
- 50-Piece Bulk Pack - supplies high-volume contractors and production environments with a ready inventory of blades, reducing downtime from frequent restocking.
Why This Product
- When working with copper tubing, aluminium profiles, brass fittings, or fiberglass panels, this BIM blade is specifically rated for non-ferrous metals and GRP - making it the right choice rather than a general-purpose blade that may chatter or overheat on these materials.
- The 21 TPI fine-tooth configuration is purpose-built for sheet metal up to 2mm, producing clean edges with minimal burring and giving installers greater confidence on finish-critical cuts.
- The Starlock arbor design provides a form-fit connection to compatible oscillating tools, which translates directly into reduced vibration during metal cutting - improving operator comfort and cut accuracy over extended use.
- Purchasing a 50-piece pack ensures that blade replacement never becomes a bottleneck on large projects, and the consistent BIM construction across the full batch means predictable, repeatable performance from the first blade to the last.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials is this blade rated to cut?
This blade is designed for sheet metal up to 2mm, hard plastics, non-ferrous pipe and profiles including copper, aluminium, and brass, and fiberglass (GRP). It is not specified for ferrous steel or tempered fasteners.
Will this blade fit my existing oscillating multi-tool?
This blade uses a Starlock (SL) arbor interface. It is compatible with any oscillating multi-tool that accepts the Starlock system. If your tool does not have a Starlock arbor, an adapter may be required - check your tool manufacturer's compatibility guidelines before use.
Why does this blade have a medium waist profile?
The medium waist design serves two purposes: it accelerates the cutting stroke for faster material removal, and it improves swarf evacuation - meaning metal chips and debris clear away from the cut zone more efficiently, helping maintain a cleaner cut and reducing friction during extended use.
Is this blade suitable for both plunge cuts and flush cuts?
Yes. The blade is specifically described as a plunge and flush-cut blade, making it versatile for tasks that require starting a cut in the middle of a surface (plunge) as well as cutting flush against an adjacent surface without damaging it.
