CMT ORANGE TOOLS ITK Fine Finish Saw Blade 12in x 96 Teeth, 40° ATB Grind, 1-Inch Bore

Meet the CMT ORANGE TOOLS ITK Fine Finish Saw Blade, a 12-inch, 96-teeth blade designed for precision crosscuts and clean finishes on wood, laminates, and veneer plywood. The blade features a thin kerf that helps cut smoothly on underpowered saws while minimizing waste, offering a compelling balance of performance and value. The laser-cut heavy-duty plate is hardened to 46-48 Rockwell, and expansion slots reduce noise and anti-vibration during rotation. Micrograin carbide teeth are brazed to the blade body with a tri-metal bond for lasting performance, delivering consistent results across jobs. The ITK design uses a 40° alternate top bevel grind, yielding razor-sharp edges on crosscuts and two-sided laminates. This blade is available for 12" saws with a 1-Inch bore and comes in a dedicated plastic case for protection and portability.
