Product Description
The CMT ITK-Plus Ultra Finish Blade - 6-1/2" x 5/8" T60 ATB+Shear is a precision-engineered circular saw blade designed to deliver ultra-smooth, splinter-free cuts in wood, plywood, OSB, and hardboard. With 60 alternate top bevel plus shear teeth and a 5 deg. hook angle, this blade is purpose-built for finish-quality work on cordless circular saws and portable table saws, making it an ideal choice for trim carpenters, cabinetmakers, and finish woodworkers who demand clean results from a compact 6-1/2" blade.
Key Features
- 60-Tooth ATB+Shear Grind (10 deg. ATB+S) - the alternate top bevel combined with a shear angle produces ultra-fine, tearout-free cuts in hardwood, plywood, OSB, and hardboard, eliminating the need for secondary sanding or finishing in many applications.
- 5 deg. Hook Angle - the low positive hook angle controls feed rate and reduces the tendency to grab or self-feed, giving the operator consistent, steady cutting action and improved surface quality.
- 0.069" Kerf Thickness with 0.043" Plate Thickness - the thin kerf design removes less material per pass, reducing strain on cordless saw batteries and motors while increasing the number of cuts per charge.
- Hard Metal (HW) Carbide Tips - tungsten carbide cutting teeth maintain their edge through demanding finish-cut applications, extending blade life and reducing the frequency of resharpening.
- Maximum 9,500 RPM Rating - the blade is rated for the high-speed demands of cordless circular saws and portable table saws, ensuring safe and stable performance at operating speeds.
- 5/8" Bore Diameter (15.87mm) - the standard 5/8" bore fits the most common cordless circular saw arbors, allowing straightforward installation without adapters on compatible machines.
- ITK-Plus Class Construction - the full-body plate is precision manufactured to tight tolerances, which minimizes vibration, reduces noise, and contributes to accurate, repeatable cuts in finish woodworking tasks.
Why This Product
- Finish-grade cut quality in a 6-1/2" format - the 60-tooth ATB+Shear geometry delivers results typically associated with larger stationary saws, making it a practical choice for job-site finish work where a full-size saw is not available.
- Designed specifically for cordless and portable saws - the thin kerf and low hook angle are engineered to work efficiently within the power and speed limitations of cordless circular saws, preserving battery life and motor performance.
- Versatile material compatibility - with a recommended application range that includes solid wood, plywood, OSB, and hardboard, this blade handles the variety of sheet goods and dimensional lumber encountered on framing and finish carpentry projects.
- Long service life through quality carbide - hard metal carbide tips resist wear over extended use, reducing downtime for blade changes and resharpening during production cutting or repetitive finish work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of tooth grind does this blade use, and why does it matter for finish cuts?
This blade uses a 10 deg. Alternate Top Bevel plus Shear (ATB+S) grind across all 60 teeth. The alternating bevel angles slice through wood fibers cleanly from both sides of the kerf, while the shear component further reduces tearout on the face of the material. The result is an ultra-smooth cut surface in wood, plywood, OSB, and hardboard with minimal or no splintering.
Is this blade compatible with my cordless circular saw?
This blade is designed for use with cordless circular saws and portable table saws that accept a 6-1/2" diameter blade with a 5/8" bore. Compatibility is contingent on your specific machine type - always verify that your saw accepts a 6-1/2" blade and a 5/8" arbor before installing. The blade is rated to a maximum of 9,500 RPM.
Why is a thin kerf important for cordless saw applications?
The 0.069" kerf thickness of this blade means less material is removed with each pass compared to full-kerf blades. This directly reduces the cutting resistance the motor and battery must overcome, which helps preserve battery charge over a longer working session and reduces strain on cordless saw motors that operate at lower power levels than corded alternatives.
What materials is this blade recommended for?
This blade is recommended for cutting wood, plywood, OSB (oriented strand board), and hardboard. It is an ultra finish blade, meaning it is optimized for applications where surface quality is a priority rather than aggressive material removal.
