Product Description
CMT OMF183-X5 13/16" Plunge Cut Blade for Wood and Nails - Starlock (5-Piece Pack) is a bi-metal oscillating blade engineered for demanding plunge and flush-cut applications in wood, wood with embedded nails, porous cement, plasterboard, and plastics. Built on the Starlock arbor system, this 13/16" blade delivers the secure, tool-free mounting that high-performance oscillating multi-cutters require. The 5-piece value pack keeps your workflow uninterrupted on jobs where blade longevity and consistent results matter most.
Key Features
- Starlock Arbor Interface - the Starlock mounting system provides a tight, rattle-free connection to compatible oscillating tools, transmitting full motor power directly to the blade for faster, more efficient cutting.
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - high-speed steel teeth bonded to a flexible steel body resist wear and breakage when cutting through wood with embedded nails up to 5mm, eliminating the need to stop and remove fasteners before cutting.
- 13/16" (20mm) Cutting Width - the short, very narrow blade profile is specifically shaped for tight groove work and confined spaces where wider blades cannot reach.
- 1-11/32" Cutting Height (Depth) - generous plunge depth allows full-depth cuts through standard framing, plasterboard, and similar materials in a single pass.
- 18 TPI / 1.4 TS Tooth Configuration - the tooth geometry balances cutting speed and finish quality across a broad range of compatible materials including porous cement and plastics.
- Multi-Material Capability - cuts wood, wood with nails, porous cement, plasterboard, and plastics from a single blade type, reducing the number of blade changes on mixed-material jobs.
- 5-Piece Pack - multiple blades included in one purchase means you have replacements on hand, keeping downtime low on extended projects.
Why This Product
- Designed for nail-embedded wood - the BIM blade handles wood with nails up to 5mm without requiring pre-removal, making demolition and remodel cuts faster and safer than using standard wood-only blades.
- Tight-space accuracy - the short, narrow 13/16" form factor reaches into grooves and corners where standard oscillating blades are too wide, giving tradespeople more control in confined cutouts.
- Broad material compatibility in one blade - switching between plasterboard, porous cement, plastics, and wood does not require a blade swap, which reduces interruptions and tool clutter on the job site.
- Starlock compatibility ensures wide tool pairing - the Starlock arbor standard is supported by CMT, Metabo, and other compatible multi-cutter brands, so this blade works across multiple tools in a professional's kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What arbor system do these blades use, and which tools are they compatible with?
These blades use the Starlock (SL) arbor system. They are compatible with any oscillating multi-cutter that accepts Starlock arbors, including compatible tools from CMT and Metabo, among other brands supporting the Starlock standard.
Can these blades cut through nails or screws embedded in wood?
Yes. The bi-metal construction is designed specifically for wood with embedded nails up to 5mm in diameter. The BIM blade bonds high-speed steel teeth to a flexible steel body, giving the cutting edge the toughness needed to handle embedded fasteners without premature tooth failure.
What other materials can the OMF183-X5 blade cut besides wood?
In addition to wood and nail-embedded wood, these blades are rated for porous cement, plasterboard, and plastics - making them a practical choice for renovation and remodel work where multiple surface types are encountered in a single job.
Why is the blade described as ideal for tight groove work?
The OMF183-X5 features a short and very narrow 13/16" (20mm) blade shape. This compact profile allows it to fit into confined grooves, tight corners, and narrow cutouts where a standard-width oscillating blade would not fit or would cause unintended damage to surrounding material.
