Key Features
- Starlock Arbor Interface - locks directly onto Starlock-compatible oscillating multi-tools for a rigid, rattle-free connection that maximizes power transfer and cutting accuracy.
- 35mm (1-3/8") Cutting Width - a medium-width waisted blade profile gives you optimum cutting quality and speed while maintaining blade stability during plunge entry cuts.
- 2" Cutting Height - allows deep plunge cuts through thick stock, making it suitable for framing lumber, door casings, and layered materials in a single pass.
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - combines high-speed steel teeth with a flexible spring-steel body, providing long life and resistance to breakage when cutting wood with embedded nails up to 5mm.
- 1.4 TS - 18 TPI Tooth Configuration - a variable tooth geometry engineered for fast, clean cutting across wood, porous cement, plasterboard, and plastics with good swarf removal.
- Wide Material Compatibility - cuts wood, wood with embedded nails up to 5mm, porous cement, plasterboard, and plastics, reducing the need to swap blades between tasks on a job site.
Why This Product
- Handles Nails Without Stopping - the BIM construction is specifically rated for wood with embedded nails up to 5mm, so you can cut through framing and trim without having to locate and remove every fastener first.
- Versatile Enough for Mixed-Material Jobs - a single blade covers wood, porous cement, plasterboard, and plastics, which is a practical advantage when moving through different substrates on remodeling or demolition work.
- Starlock Fit Means Compatibility Across Brands - the Starlock arbor is a widely adopted standard, so this CMT blade fits a broad range of Starlock oscillating multi-tools without adapters.
- Waisted Shape Promotes Faster Plunge Entry - the medium-width waisted blade design is purpose-built for plunge and flush-cut work, reducing the effort and time needed to start a cut compared to wider blade profiles.
