The CMT ITK-Plus Fast Framing Blade 7-1/4" x 5/8" T24 ATB+Shear is a professional-grade circular saw blade engineered for rapid, accurate cuts in wood framing, structural panel work, and construction applications. Built with a 24-tooth Alternate Top Bevel plus Shear geometry and a 20 deg. hook angle, this blade is optimized for use in cordless circular saws and portable table saws, delivering the speed and precision that framing crews demand when cutting softwood, hardwood, plywood, OSB, and hardboard on the job site.

Key Features

• ITK-Plus Fast Framing Design - purpose-built for high-speed framing cuts, reducing time spent on each pass through dimensional lumber and structural panels.
• 24-Tooth ATB+Shear Geometry (10 ATB+S) - the Alternate Top Bevel with Shear tooth configuration shears wood fibers cleanly rather than tearing them, producing smoother cut edges even at fast feed rates.
• 20 deg. Hook Angle - an aggressive hook angle drives the blade aggressively into the material, supporting fast stock removal and efficient framing-pace cutting.
• HW (Hardmetal/Carbide) Tooth Material - carbide-tipped teeth maintain a sharper cutting edge far longer than standard steel, extending the interval between resharpenings and reducing downtime.
• 0.069" Kerf Thickness - a thin kerf removes less material per pass, reducing strain on cordless saw batteries and allowing faster cutting with less motor load.
• 0.043" Plate Thickness - a slim, laser-cut steel plate minimizes blade flex and keeps the blade tracking true through both rip cuts and crosscuts.
• 5/8" Bore Diameter (15.87mm) - a standard 5/8" arbor bore fits the vast majority of 7-1/4" cordless and portable circular saws without requiring adapters.
• 8,300 Maximum RPM Rating - rated for high-speed operation, ensuring the blade performs safely and effectively at the full RPM output of compatible saws.
• Cordless Saw Compatibility - optimized for cordless circular saws where battery efficiency matters, the thin kerf and fast tooth design help preserve charge while maintaining cut speed.

Why This Product

• Built for speed in framing applications - the 24-tooth count and 20 deg. hook angle are specifically configured for fast material removal through wood, plywood, and OSB, making this blade a practical choice for rough framing and structural work.
• Thin kerf extends cordless battery life - at 0.069" kerf, the blade demands less energy per cut, which translates directly into more cuts per charge when using cordless circular saws on framing jobs.
• ATB+Shear tooth geometry improves cut quality at high feed rates - unlike standard ATB grinds, the added shear component reduces surface tear-out on plywood and hardboard faces, making this blade equally useful for structural panels and dimensional lumber.
• Carbide teeth deliver longer working life - HW carbide tooth material stays sharp through extended use in tough materials, reducing the frequency of blade changes and keeping work moving on active job sites.
