Product Description
CMT OMF205-X1 1-3/8" Precision Cut Blade with Japanese Toothing - BIM Starlock is engineered for woodworkers and tradespeople who demand fast, clean cuts in a wide range of materials. Built with bi-metal (BIM) construction and a 35mm Starlock arbor interface, this oscillating multitool blade delivers precision plunge cuts, flush cuts, and straight cuts through wood materials up to 50mm thick, plasterboard, and soft plastics - making it a versatile choice for remodeling, trim work, and finish carpentry.
Key Features
- Starlock Arbor (35mm) Compatibility - mounts securely to all Starlock-compatible oscillating multitools, providing a tool-free, positive-locking fit that reduces wobble and maximizes power transfer at the blade.
- Bi-Metal (BIM) Construction - combines high-speed steel teeth with a flexible spring-steel body, delivering longer service life compared to HCS blades when cutting hardwood, chipboard, and similarly demanding materials.
- Japanese Toothing - Radial Shape, 14 TPI / 1.75 TS - fine-pitch, impulse-hardened teeth produce smooth, splinter-free cuts in solid wood, plywood, laminate, and soft plastics, reducing the need for sanding or finishing after the cut.
- 2" Cutting Depth Capacity - reaches into deeper material sections, handling stock up to 50mm thick so the blade can perform on framing lumber, thick plasterboard, and layered substrates without a blade change.
- Medium Width Waist Geometry - the blade's proportioned waist profile balances cutting speed with cutting quality, minimizing deflection and vibration during plunge and flush cutting operations.
- Wide Application Range - approved for all wood materials, plasterboard, and soft plastics in a single blade, reducing the number of blade changes on multi-material job sites.
- Single-Piece Pack - sold individually so tradespeople and DIYers can add exactly the quantity needed without committing to a multi-pack.
Why This Product
- If you need precision flush cuts and plunge cuts in wood up to 50mm deep, the 2" cutting depth and Japanese radial toothing give you the reach and tooth geometry to complete those cuts cleanly without switching blades mid-task.
- BIM construction extends blade life beyond standard HCS blades in hardwood and chipboard applications, meaning fewer blade replacements and lower cost-per-cut over time on demanding materials.
- The 35mm Starlock interface is compatible with Starlock oscillating multitools from CMT, Metabo, and other Starlock-platform tool brands, making this blade a practical fit for a wide range of existing tool inventories.
- With a single blade rated for wood, plasterboard, and soft plastics, this precision cut blade reduces the number of specialty blades needed on the job, simplifying your kit and speeding up multi-material tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What oscillating multitools is this blade compatible with?
This blade uses a 35mm Starlock arbor interface and is compatible with any oscillating multitool that accepts the Starlock mounting system, including tools from CMT and Metabo, as well as other brands that support the Starlock platform.
What materials can this blade cut?
The OMF205-X1 is rated for all wood materials up to 50mm thick, including softwood, hardwood, plywood, chipboard, and laminate, as well as plasterboard and soft plastics. It is not intended for metal cutting applications.
What is the difference between BIM and HCS blade construction, and why does it matter?
BIM (bi-metal) construction bonds high-speed steel teeth to a flexible spring-steel back. This combination provides greater durability and wear resistance compared to HCS (high carbon steel) blades, particularly when cutting hardwood, chipboard, and other demanding wood-based materials - meaning the BIM blade maintains a sharp edge longer through heavy use.
What does "Japanese toothing" mean, and how does it affect cut quality?
Japanese toothing refers to a radial tooth geometry with impulse-hardened, fine-pitch teeth set at 14 TPI. This tooth profile is designed to produce smooth, precise cuts with minimal tear-out in wood and soft plastics, making it well suited for finish carpentry and precision trim work where cut quality matters.
