The CMT Fine Finish ATB Saw Blade - 10" x 5/8" Bore, 60-Tooth is a professional-grade crosscut blade engineered for industrial cabinet-makers and demanding woodworking environments. Built on a laser-cut harmonic steel plate and protected by CMT's signature Orange Shield non-stick PTFE coating, this blade delivers splinter-free results on hardwood, softwood, and plywood with every pass. The 60-tooth Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) grind produces the ultra-clean edge quality that production shops and finish carpenters require when surface appearance is non-negotiable.

Key Features

• 60-Tooth ATB 20 deg. Grind - the high tooth count combined with a 20 deg. Alternate Top Bevel geometry slices cleanly across wood grain, minimizing tearout and leaving a finish-ready surface on hardwood and softwood crosscuts.
• Orange Shield Non-Stick PTFE Coating - resists resin build-up, corrosion, and rust, reducing blade drag and heat accumulation so the blade runs cooler and lasts longer between sharpenings.
• Precision Mirror-Finish Sharpening - every tooth is ground on a multi-axis CNC machine to less than 0.25 micrometer Rmax edge, ensuring consistent, repeatable cut quality across the entire blade circumference.
• Laser-Cut Harmonic Steel Plate - the precision-cut body minimizes vibration and noise during operation, contributing to smoother cuts and reduced operator fatigue in heavy daily production use.
• 0.102" Kerf / 0.071" Plate Thickness - a thin kerf relative to blade diameter means less material removed per pass, reducing waste and the load placed on the motor of the host machine.
• 5 deg. Hook (Cutting) Angle - a moderate positive hook angle controls feed rate during crosscutting, preventing the blade from grabbing the workpiece and helping produce consistent, safe cuts.
• HW (Tungsten Carbide) Tooth Material - premium-grade carbide tips maintain their sharp edge significantly longer than standard steel teeth, sustaining fine-finish performance through extended production runs.
• 7,600 Maximum RPM Rating - the high RPM rating accommodates fast-spinning professional miter saws and table saws, giving installers confidence that the blade is rated for the machines they already use.
• 5/8" Bore (15.88mm) - the standard 5/8" arbor size fits virtually all 10" table saws, miter saws, and radial arm saws without requiring adapter rings, making changeover quick and hassle-free.

Why This Product

• Engineered for industrial cabinet-making crosscuts - with 60 ATB teeth and mirror-finish sharpening, this blade is purpose-built for the heavy-duty crosscut work that cabinet shops run all day, where cut quality directly affects the finished product.
• Works across a wide range of professional machines - rated for radial arm saws, miter saws, circular saws, table saws, and special saws, this single blade adapts to nearly every saw configuration in a professional shop without requiring multiple blade purchases.
• PTFE coating extends service life and reduces downtime - the Orange Shield non-stick coating actively repels pitch and resin that would otherwise slow the blade, meaning fewer cleaning interruptions and longer intervals between blade replacements.
• Versatile material compatibility for production environments - rated for soft and hardwood as well as plywood, this blade handles the most common sheet goods and dimensional lumber found in cabinet, millwork, and finish carpentry applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is this saw blade compatible with?

This blade is designed for use on radial arm saws, miter saws, circular saws, table saws, and special saws. The standard 5/8" bore (15.88mm) fits the arbors of virtually all common 10" professional saw configurations without adapter rings.

What materials can be cut with this blade?

The 60-tooth ATB grind is suited for crosscutting softwood, hardwood, and plywood. It is specifically recommended for heavy-duty crosscut work in industrial cabinet-making environments where a clean, finish-ready surface is required.

What is the maximum safe operating speed for this blade?

The blade is rated for a maximum of 7,600 RPM. Always confirm that the operating speed of your saw does not exceed this rating before mounting the blade, and follow all safety guidelines provided by your saw manufacturer.

What is the difference between the kerf thickness and the plate thickness?

The kerf thickness (0.102") is the width of the cut made by the tips of the carbide teeth - this is the amount of material removed from the workpiece. The plate thickness (0.071") refers to the thinner steel body of the blade itself. The difference between the two creates the blade's side clearance, which prevents the plate from binding in the cut.
