Product Description
CMT 2-9/16" Precision Cut Blade with Japanese Toothing - BIM Starlock, 5-Piece Pack by CMT is a professional-grade oscillating multi-tool blade engineered for high-precision plunge and flush cuts in wood, plasterboard, and soft plastics. Built from bi-metal (BIM) construction with 14 TPI Japanese-style toothing, this Starlock-compatible blade delivers clean, controlled cuts with minimal material tear-out - making it a go-to choice for finish carpentry, remodeling, and detail work where accuracy matters most.
Key Features
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - combines high-speed steel cutting edges with a flexible spring-steel body, giving the blade the hardness needed to cut cleanly while resisting breakage during demanding oscillating tool applications
- 14 TPI Japanese Toothing - the radial tooth geometry produces precision, splinter-free cuts in wood up to 50mm thick, plasterboard, and soft plastics, reducing the need for secondary finishing work
- 2-9/16" (65mm) Blade Width - a medium-wide profile that covers a broad range of cutting tasks, from flush trimming to straight plunge cuts, without switching blades mid-job
- 2" Cutting Height - provides sufficient depth capacity for work in dimensional lumber, plywood, chipboard, laminate, and similar materials commonly encountered in renovation and construction settings
- Starlock Arbor Interface - the Starlock mounting system transfers power more efficiently from the tool to the blade compared to standard round-hole arbors, resulting in faster cutting speed and improved precision
- Plunge-Ready Design - the blade geometry allows easy entry into material at any point without pre-drilling, streamlining tasks like outlet cutouts, pipe slots, and patch work
- 5-Piece Value Pack - includes 5 identical blades so professionals and frequent users can stock up and keep working without downtime between blade changes
Why This Product
- The Starlock arbor interface locks securely onto compatible oscillating tools from CMT, Metabo, and other Starlock-platform machines, eliminating blade wobble and delivering the consistent precision required for finish-quality cuts
- Japanese-style toothing at 14 TPI is specifically suited for precision cutting tasks in wood up to 50mm, plasterboard, and soft plastics - materials that demand clean edges and accurate lines rather than aggressive stock removal
- The bi-metal BIM build means the blade can handle the repetitive flex and stress of oscillating tool use without fatiguing or snapping prematurely, making it more reliable across long work sessions
- A 5-piece quantity makes this pack a practical choice for contractors and tradespeople who need consistent blade performance across multiple jobs without sourcing replacements mid-project

Frequently Asked Questions
What oscillating tools are compatible with this blade?
This blade uses the Starlock arbor interface, which is compatible with Starlock-platform oscillating multi-tools from CMT, Metabo, and other manufacturers that support the Starlock mounting system.
What materials can this blade cut?
The CMT OMF229 is designed to cut wood up to 50mm thick (including softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard, and laminate), plasterboard, and soft plastics. The 14 TPI Japanese toothing is optimized for precision cuts in these materials.
Can this blade make plunge cuts without pre-drilling?
Yes. The blade geometry is specifically designed to plunge easily at any point in the material, making it well suited for cutouts and patch work where entry holes are not pre-drilled.
What does BIM mean, and why does it matter for oscillating blades?
BIM stands for bi-metal, a construction method that bonds high-speed steel teeth to a flexible spring-steel body. This combination delivers the cutting hardness needed for clean results while allowing the blade to flex under the oscillating motion without cracking or breaking prematurely.
