CMT 221.060.10 Industrial Cabinetshop Saw Blade, 10-Inch x 60 Teeth TCG Grind with 5/8-Inch Bore, PTFE Coating

Great blade!

Heavy solid quality cut. Good value, I bought another one

Ever since I discovered CMT, they have been my go to blade for sometime now. I have a fine kerf 80T great for glue line rips, this 60T combo blade (super clean cuts) and a 12" on my miter saw. They are second to none. Fan for life.

This has been a good blade for the money. I have used it mostly for 3/4" ply and solid poplar for face frames. It leaves a pretty smooth and clean cut on birch ply when paired with a zero clearance TS insert. I have had no problems with cross-cutting poplar or ripping. It is sub-optimal for ripping even softer woods like poplar, but that is to be expected considering it is closer to a finish blade and definitely isn't a ripping blade. I gave it 4 stars because I felt that it dulled slightly faster than some of my other similar blades but admittedly, I do not often change it out for rip cuts unless I have a large amount of ripping to do. I would recommend this blade and would give it 4.5 stars for the price if it were an option.

If you cannot spring for a Forrest or Ridge blade CMT blades will be a grate alternative. They are my go to blades.

Hello, I used this blade again today, and just wanted to tell you that it was AWESOME. I am over 60 years old, been a woodworker and remodeler most of my life - remodeling my house and maintaining and improving half a dozen others for various relatives.I have done a LOT of projects, and built a LOT of things, but I've never seen or used a blade as nice as this one - 221.060.10, 10" blade, 5/8" bore, Max RPM 6000.I used it today and made over 60 cuts in 3/4" MDF. It made every cut like butter, not one burn, not one chipout of the material. Very impressive, at least to me!On top of all that, when I took the blade out of the saw to put it away - I noticed that the paint hadn't even worn through and you almost could not tell that this blade had ever even been used. The only telltale sign of use was a very slight polished ring on the orange paint where the blade had made contact with the materials being cut.Wanted to say thanks to CMT, for making a product that delivers on the advertising and that's something you don't see a lot anymore!

This is the first CMT product I purchased. I did so with some trepidation, but it seems like it all paid off. The cuts this blade delivers are excellent. For cross cuts in wood, it does a great job. Being a TCG and not ATB blade, there is some "fuzz" at the back end of cross cuts, but not really any tear out.For rips in wood, it leaves an almost glue line edge. This was in even 8/4 hard maple and white oak. In thinner hardwoods of various types, the feeding was easier and the cut just as clean. I was rather surprised at this. Clearly, this is NOT a rip blade, or even a cross cut blade, but for both it did a great job.In plywood and melamine, which is what this blade should really be used for, it also did a great job. The plywood cuts were both clean with little or no tear out in the bottom, and none in the top. This was Baltic Birch, CDX sheathing, and OSB on cuts with and across the grain on the faces. In double sided melamine, the top had NO chip out, but the bottom did have some, albeit very little. I did test some veneer plywood, and there was some chip out on the bottom - a 60 or 80 tooth ATB blade would probably be best here.I did not try this blade for plastics, but would use it for them instead of other tooth grinds since the TCG can better handle these materials.Overall, the blade was quiet, didn't vibrate, and looks very well made. The teeth where sharpened with what I would say is 600 grit diamond wheels because they look polished, much like Forrest blade teeth. The teeth are thick, which will provide many resharpenings. This product is made in Italy. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would certainly recommend this blade.

I like the price . I use it on my radio arm saw
