Looking for a saw blade that can handle your toughest ripping jobs without bogging down your equipment? The CMT Industrial Thin Kerf rip saw blade is designed specifically for woodworkers who demand precision and performance. Whether you're breaking down sheet goods or ripping solid stock, this blade delivers clean, smooth cuts while putting minimal strain on your saw.
The secret to this blade's performance lies in its thin kerf design. Unlike standard blades that remove large amounts of material, this 10-inch blade with 24 teeth cuts more efficiently by removing less wood. This means less power drain on your saw, reduced heat buildup, and more cuts between resharpenings. You'll work longer without fatigue, and your saw will thank you for the reduced workload.
Don't let the thin kerf fool you - this is a heavy-duty blade built to perform. The laser cut blade plate is hardened to 46-48 Rockwell for exceptional durability, while the micrograin carbide teeth ensure long-lasting cutting performance. These teeth aren't just strong; they're precisely arranged with alternating top bevel geometry to deliver that professional smooth finish on both hardwoods and softwoods.
Ever had a blade that vibrated like crazy or sounded like a jet engine? This CMT blade features carefully positioned expansion slots and sound dampening channels that dramatically reduce vibration and noise. The anti-kickback design gives you added safety, while the precision balancing ensures smooth operation at all speeds. Plus, the copper-silver-copper tri-metallic brazing creates an incredibly strong bond between teeth and blade body.
Whether you're building furniture, cabinetry, or architectural millwork, this blade performs where it counts. The 5/8-inch bore fits most contractor and cabinet saws, making it versatile for different workshop setups. Woodworkers report getting 20-30% more cuts between sharpenings compared to standard blades, and the smooth finish often eliminates the need for additional sanding.
Every blade comes in CMT's protective plastic case with laser-marked safety instructions and complete resharpening guides. It's not just a blade - it's an investment in cleaner cuts, longer tool life, and better results for your woodworking projects.
