Crosscut Saw Blade CMT ITK PLUS Ripping 160mm x 24 Teeth, 20mm Bore

CMT Crosscut Saw Blade, 160mm x 24 Teeth, 20mm Bore

The CMT Crosscut Saw Blade is designed for clean, precise cuts in wood and soft plastics. Manufactured from high-quality 44 HRC steel and laser-cut for accuracy, this 160mm blade delivers dependable performance, extended service life, and smooth cutting results. With 24 teeth and a 20mm bore, it is also an excellent fine rip-cut blade for producing glue-ready joints and can replace Festool 496304, a 28-tooth blade.

Laser-Cut Sound Dampening Slots

Laser-cut sound dampening slots help minimize vibration and operating noise for smoother, more controlled cutting.

• Reduces vibration and noise by up to 10% compared with blades without sound dampening slots.
• Helps improve cut quality and extend blade life.
• Designed to comply with National Noise Emission Standards and Regulations.

Silver Alloy Brazing

Silver alloy brazing securely bonds the carbide teeth to the blade body while helping prevent carbide breakage during the cooling process. This durable construction allows the teeth to withstand high levels of stress and impact, making the blade well suited for demanding applications, including harder woods and composite materials.

Industrial SINTERHIP High-Density Carbide

CMT uses the SINTERHIP sintering process, also known as Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), to produce high-density carbide with exceptional durability. The process combines temperatures of up to 3,500°F with pressures of up to 1,500 psi to fully consolidate the carbide and minimize porosity.

The resulting high-density carbide provides longer cutting life than traditional carbide while reducing the risk of tooth breakage. This advanced carbide construction helps maintain sharp, reliable cutting performance through demanding woodworking applications.

Shear Angle Sharpening

The teeth feature shear angle grinding on the front face, which reduces the force required to make a cut. This geometry promotes smoother cutting action, easier feeding, and improved overall cutting performance.

Orange Shield® Non-Stick PTFE Coating

The Orange Shield® non-stick PTFE coating helps protect the blade while improving cutting performance. The coating reduces friction and material buildup, allowing the blade to move through the workpiece more efficiently.

• Protects the blade against corrosion and rust.
• Reduces resin, pitch, and residue buildup.
• Helps minimize overheating and blade drag.
• Improves cutting performance and blade life.

Reliable CMT Blade for Clean, Smooth Cuts

Combining a precision laser-cut steel body, high-density industrial carbide, shear angle sharpening, silver alloy brazing, sound dampening slots, and Orange Shield® PTFE coating, the CMT 160mm x 24-tooth Crosscut Saw Blade is engineered for accurate, smooth, and durable cutting performance. It is a versatile choice for general-purpose woodworking, fine rip cuts, glue-ready joints, and cutting wood and soft plastics.
