Product Description
CMT 1-3/4" Precision Cut Blade with Japanese Toothing - BIM Starlock is a high-performance oscillating tool blade engineered for clean, accurate cuts in a wide range of wood products, plasterboard, blockboard, and soft plastics. Built from bi-metal (BIM) construction with a Starlock arbor interface, this 45 x 50mm blade delivers outstanding cutting speed combined with maximum precision - making it a reliable choice for plunge cuts, flush cuts, and finish carpentry work. Sold individually as a 1-piece unit.
Key Features
- Starlock Arbor Interface - provides a secure, vibration-reducing connection to Starlock-compatible oscillating multi-tools for enhanced control and accuracy during demanding cuts.
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - combines the flexibility of spring steel with the toughness of high-speed steel teeth, allowing the blade to handle wood products, blockboard, plasterboard, and soft plastics without premature wear.
- Japanese Toothing at 14 TPI - the fine-tooth geometry produces precision cuts with a smooth finish, reducing the need for secondary cleanup on finished surfaces.
- 50mm Cutting Height Capacity - handles material up to 50mm thick, covering a broad range of dimensional lumber, sheet goods, and composite materials in one blade.
- Medium Width Waist Design - balances cutting speed and precision simultaneously, so users do not have to trade one for the other when switching between rough and finish cutting tasks.
- 45 x 50mm Blade Geometry - the wide profile supports stability during plunge and flush cuts, reducing blade deflection and keeping cuts on target.
Why This Product
- The Starlock arbor system locks directly and securely onto compatible oscillating multi-tools, eliminating slippage during precision flush and plunge cuts where blade control matters most.
- BIM construction extends blade life across multiple compatible materials - from softwood and hardwood to plasterboard and soft plastics - reducing the need for frequent blade changes on mixed-material jobsites.
- At 14 TPI with Japanese toothing geometry, this blade is purpose-built for precision cutting applications where surface quality and cut accuracy are a priority, not an afterthought.
- The 50mm cutting height capacity makes this blade versatile enough for full-thickness dimensional lumber and sheet goods commonly encountered in woodworking, renovation, and finishing work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What oscillating tools are compatible with this blade?
This blade is designed for use with oscillating multi-tools that feature a Starlock (SL) arbor interface. The Starlock system provides a direct, secure fit on all Starlock-compatible machines.
What materials can this blade cut?
The CMT OMF232-X1 is suitable for all wood products up to 50mm, blockboard, plasterboard, and soft plastics. Its BIM construction and 14 TPI Japanese toothing make it appropriate for both solid wood and composite sheet goods.
What is the maximum cutting depth this blade supports?
This blade supports a cutting height of 50mm, making it well suited for full-thickness dimensional lumber and standard sheet material thicknesses commonly used in woodworking and renovation applications.
Why does the medium width waist design matter for cutting performance?
The medium width waist is specifically engineered to balance cutting speed with maximum precision. This means the blade moves through material efficiently without sacrificing cut accuracy - a practical advantage when working on finish carpentry or trim work where both speed and clean results are important.
