CMT Orange Chrome Combination Blade 10 x T50 ATB TCG (1/8 Full Kerf)

Jonathan’s Hot Take Description: This is one of the top professional combination blades on the market for good reason. The carbide teeth are massive, and its amazing at removing a lot of material while keeping the cut cool. When Im bouncing between rip and cross cuts in hard or soft wood, this is the blade I reach for. Because it has 50 teeth that alternate between ATB and TCG, it really excels at getting decent rip and cross cuts in thicker boards. If you’re cutting a lot of rip or crosscuts, I would go with a dedicated blade for those. If you’re cutting a lot of plywood, I would go with the 40 tooth general purpose blade, or one of the higher-tooth fine finish blades (60t/80t/96t). This combination blade is tied with the general purpose blade as my most used blade in the shop. Its my go-to for making jigs and smaller projects without a lot of milling. The chrome coating makes it easy to clean, which really extends its life. These new models have 3 additional patents that increase stabilization and keep the blade cooler. CMT blades are now approved for Sawstop, and if you’re looking for a top tier blade at a big box store price, this is definitely the line to go with. I recommend a full kerf blade for woodworkers who want greater precision, years of sharpenings out of one blade, and have saws with more than 1.5 hp. Ive been putting my reputation behind these CMT Chrome blades for a couple years now, and I couldn’t be more proud to be carrying them in my store. Youll absolutely love any blade in this line. I guarantee theyre on par with any high end blade on the market. Great Resources for Table Saw Blades: Which Saw Blade Should I Use? How do I know When My Blade is Dull? How is a Saw Blade Sharpened?
