The CMT ITK-Plus Fast Framing Blade is a high-performance circular saw blade engineered for fast, efficient cuts through wood framing materials, plywood, OSB, and hardboard. Available in an 8 to 8 1/4 in. diameter range with a 5/8 in. bore, this 24-tooth ATB+Shear grind blade delivers the speed and accuracy that framing carpenters and contractors demand from both cordless circular saws and portable table saws. With a hook angle of 20 deg. and ATB 15 deg. tooth geometry, each pass through lumber produces clean, consistent results - reducing material waste and minimizing cleanup on the job site.

Key Features

• 24-Tooth ATB+Shear Grind - the combination of Alternate Top Bevel geometry at 15 deg. with a shear grind delivers fast stock removal while maintaining cleaner edges than a standard flat-top blade, reducing tear-out in framing lumber and sheet goods.
• 20 deg. Hook Angle - an aggressive positive hook angle pulls the blade through material efficiently, resulting in faster feed rates and less effort during extended framing runs.
• 8 to 8 1/4 in. Dual Diameter Compatibility - the blade fits both 8 in. and 8 1/4 in. machines, giving it broader compatibility across cordless circular saws and portable table saws with the knockout pin hole option.
• Knockout Pin Hole (Knock Out) - the included bore conversion feature allows the blade to be adapted for different machine configurations, maximizing versatility across tool types.
• 0.083 in. Kerf Thickness - a full-kerf design provides stable cuts with minimal deflection, contributing to straighter lines through framing lumber, OSB, and hardboard.
• 0.047 in. Plate Thickness - a precision steel plate engineered to tight tolerances supports blade stiffness and reduces vibration, helping maintain cut accuracy at high feed speeds.
• Tungsten Carbide Teeth (HW Material) - hard metal carbide tips hold a sharp edge longer than standard steel teeth, extending the time between sharpenings even in demanding framing applications.
• 9,000 RPM Rating - a high maximum speed rating ensures safe operation across a wide range of compatible cordless and corded machines without compromising blade integrity.

Why This Product

• Built specifically for fast framing tasks - the 24-tooth count and 20 deg. hook angle are optimized for rapid cuts through framing lumber, wall sheathing, roof decking, and subfloor panels, making this the right choice when speed matters without sacrificing cut quality.
• Cordless saw compatible at full performance - designed to work with cordless circular saws as well as portable table saws, this blade makes it practical to run the same high-quality blade across both your job-site tools without swapping for a separate blade.
• Handles the materials framing crews actually cut - recommended for wood, plywood, OSB, and hardboard, covering the core sheet goods and dimensional lumber that make up the majority of framing and rough carpentry work.
• 9,000 RPM maximum rating supports high-speed tool use - the elevated RPM ceiling means the blade can safely keep pace with faster cordless tools, reducing the risk of operating outside the blade's rated limits on modern high-speed saws.
