Product Description
CMT 2-9/16" Precision Cut Blade with Japanese Toothing - BIM StarlockPlus by CMT is a wide-format oscillating blade engineered for clean, controlled cuts in wood, composite panels, plastics, and more. Built from bi-metal (BIM) construction, this blade pairs a flexible spring-steel body with high-speed steel teeth to handle demanding plunge cuts, flush cuts, and material removal tasks where precision and durability are both required. The StarlockPlus (SLP) arbor interface ensures a rigid, secure fit with compatible multi-cutters, reducing vibration and improving cut accuracy. Sold as a single blade.
Key Features
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - the fusion of high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible spring-steel backer gives the blade durability in tough materials while resisting tooth breakage and blade fatigue over extended use.
- Japanese Toothing Geometry - the radial-style tooth pattern is engineered for fast, aggressive cutting action while still delivering smooth, precise results - reducing tear-out and cleanup time on finished surfaces.
- 2-9/16" Blade Width - the wide cutting profile maximizes material removal per pass, making it well-suited for wide plunge cuts, grout removal, and flush-cutting applications.
- 2" Cutting Height - the generous cutting depth allows the blade to reach deeper into workpieces, giving users more flexibility across a wider range of material thicknesses.
- 14 TPI Tooth Configuration (TS 1.75) - balances cutting speed and surface quality, making this blade versatile across softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard, laminate, and plastics.
- StarlockPlus (SLP) Arbor Interface - the StarlockPlus system delivers a tool-free, vibration-dampening connection to compatible oscillating multi-tools, improving blade stability and overall cut control.
Why This Product
- The BIM bi-metal construction means one blade can move between wood, composite materials, and plastics without swapping tools - reducing downtime on multi-material jobsites.
- Japanese toothing geometry provides both cutting speed and surface precision, so users get cleaner results without sanding or secondary finishing on exposed cuts.
- The 2-9/16" wide profile paired with a 2" cutting depth covers a broad range of plunge and flush-cut scenarios that narrower blades simply cannot handle in a single pass.
- The StarlockPlus arbor fit is purpose-built for rigidity and vibration reduction - meaning less operator fatigue and more consistent blade tracking over long cutting sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What oscillating tools are compatible with this blade?
This blade uses a StarlockPlus (SLP) arbor interface, which is designed to fit multi-cutter oscillating tools equipped with a StarlockPlus arbor system. Always verify your tool's arbor compatibility before use.
What materials can this blade cut through?
The CMT OMF208 BIM blade is suited for cutting softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard, laminate, and plastics. The bi-metal construction and 14 TPI Japanese tooth geometry make it versatile across all of these material types.
What does "Japanese Toothing" mean and why does it matter?
Japanese toothing refers to a radial-style tooth geometry that is ground to be sharper than conventional tooth profiles. This allows the blade to cut faster and cleaner, reducing surface tear-out - which is especially valuable when working with laminate, finished wood panels, or plastics where surface quality matters.
What is the cutting depth of this blade?
The CMT OMF208 has a cutting height of 2". This is the maximum depth the blade can reach into a workpiece during a plunge or flush-cut operation, making it appropriate for a wide range of material thicknesses encountered in woodworking and remodeling applications.
