Meet the CMT 256.050.10 ITK Xtreme Industrial 10-Inch Saw Blade, engineered to balance precision with durability in demanding woodworking tasks. The thin kerf design helps reduce resistance, potentially easing operation on underpowered saws while still delivering clean, accurate cuts that you can rely on project after project.

Why choose ITK Xtreme for your saw?

• Thin kerf (0.098") lowers load on the saw, which may enable faster cuts and less motor strain.
• Laser-cut plate hardened to 46-48 Rockwell for solid rigidity and long-term stability.
• Expansion slots reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother, more comfortable workflow.
• Micrograin carbide teeth provide long-lasting cutting performance with smooth edges on wood and wood products.
• Tri-metal brazing (copper-silver-copper) binds teeth securely for durable, reliable cut life.
• 1 Flat + 4/20° alternate teeth grind with a 15° hook angle optimizes both crosscuts and rips.
• Anti-kickback design and laser-cut arbors work together for safer, more precise operation.
• Delivered in a dedicated CMT plastic case for easy storage and transport between job sites.

Real-world use and versatility

Whether you are working with solid lumber, plywood, melamine, or composites, this blade is designed to deliver fast, clean cuts while maintaining edge quality. The thin kerf design means less resistance, which could translate to quicker cycles and reduced wear on compatible saws. The micrograin carbide teeth are built to last through repeated use, helping you achieve smooth cuts across wood products with less need for frequent replacements.

Durability meets practicality in its construction: a robust, hardened plate supports accurate, steady cuts; expansion slots help manage heat and noise on busy job sites; and the tri-metal brazing binds teeth securely for endurance in challenging environments. The blade comes with a resilient CMT plastic case, keeping it protected and portable for on-site workloads. It’s designed to suit various setups, including table saws and portable saw configurations up to 10 inches in diameter, offering adaptable performance across different tools and tasks.
