Product Description
CMT 2-9/16" Plunge Cut Blade for Wood and Nails - BIM StarlockPlus (1-Piece) is a bi-metal oscillating blade engineered for demanding plunge cuts through wood containing embedded nails and other fasteners. Designed for use with StarlockPlus oscillating multi-tool systems, this BIM blade delivers the cutting depth and tooth geometry needed for clean, controlled cuts in nail-embedded lumber and similar materials. Whether you are tackling demolition work, renovation projects, or trim carpentry that requires flush cutting near metal fasteners, this blade offers a reliable solution for multi-tool users who need performance in tough conditions.
Key Features
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - combines the toughness of high-speed steel teeth with a flexible spring-steel body, allowing the blade to cut through wood with nails without shattering or losing its edge prematurely during heavy use.
- StarlockPlus (SLP) Arbor Compatibility - fits securely onto StarlockPlus oscillating multi-tool systems, providing a rigid, tool-free mount that reduces vibration and maximizes power transfer from the machine to the cutting edge.
- 2-9/16" Blade Width - the wide profile spans a broad cutting arc with each stroke, letting you work through nail-embedded wood faster and with fewer passes compared to narrower oscillating blades.
- 2" Cutting Height (Depth) - provides meaningful cutting depth for plunge cuts into dimensional lumber, allowing you to reach and complete cuts in material that thinner or shallower blades cannot fully penetrate.
- TS 1.4 - TPI 18 Tooth Configuration - the 18 teeth per inch layout balances cutting speed with control, making it effective in wood with nails where aggressive tooth spacing helps clear chips while maintaining a clean kerf.
- Single-Piece Packaging - sold as one individual blade, letting you stock exactly the quantity you need without committing to a larger multi-pack when a single replacement or addition is all that is required.
Why This Product
- Built specifically for wood with embedded nails - the BIM construction and TPI 18 tooth profile are paired to handle the dual challenge of cutting wood fiber and contacting metal fasteners without premature blade failure, making it a practical choice for demolition and renovation work.
- StarlockPlus interface ensures a secure, vibration-reduced fit - the SLP arbor design locks the blade firmly to compatible oscillating multi-tools, translating more energy into the cut and reducing operator fatigue on extended jobs.
- A 2" cutting depth handles real-world dimensional lumber - many plunge cut tasks in framing, flooring, and trim work involve material that requires meaningful depth, and the 2" cutting height means fewer repositioning steps and faster job completion.
- Wide 2-9/16" profile maximizes each stroke - the broad blade width covers more surface area per oscillation, which shortens cut time in nail-embedded wood compared to narrower blade formats on the same task.

Frequently Asked Questions
What arbor system is this blade compatible with?
This blade is designed for use with oscillating multi-tools that feature a StarlockPlus (SLP) arbor interface. It is not intended for use with standard Starlock or OIS-style arbor systems without an appropriate adapter provided by the tool manufacturer.
Can this blade cut through both wood and metal fasteners in a single pass?
Yes. The bi-metal (BIM) construction combines high-speed steel cutting teeth with a flexible spring-steel body, making the blade suited for cutting wood that contains embedded nails and similar metal fasteners without requiring a blade change.
What does the TPI 18 tooth configuration mean for my cuts?
A tooth-per-inch rating of 18 (TS 1.4 - TPI 18) places this blade in a mid-range tooth density that balances cutting speed with chip clearance. This configuration is well suited to wood with nails, where the gullets between teeth help clear material while the tooth count maintains a reasonably clean kerf.
How many blades are included in this listing?
This listing includes one (1x) individual plunge cut blade. It is sold as a single-piece unit, which is reflected in the product data and the MPN designation.
