CMT 250.024.10 ITK Xtreme Industrial Rip Saw Blade, 10-Inch x 24 Teeth ATB Grind with 5/8-Inch Bore

wow what and amazing blade for the price. i compared this blade with a $60 30T glue line blade and a Irwin Marathon ripper. All blades were used to rip oak as it was what i had in hand for this quick test. First the Irwin is the thinnest blade i used at 0.095" and maybe you can get one sharpening out of it but its basicly a throw-away. I cut a lot of lumber with this blade and did a fine job for fast cutting. For rough sheeting and and ripping lumber its a beast but for the test it did leave a lot of secondary cut tooth marks on the wood. That being said, i concluded that this blade does only what its made for. Economical rip blade for rough and fast lumber cuts. Being so thin and fast it should get more attention than what it does but also should be priced at $20. Its not sexy or flashy at all but does a great job for its intended purpose at under $30 for a 10" table saw blade. Second blade i used for this quick test was the Diablo 30T glue-line blade. its selling point is that its a ripping blade that produces a smooth side wall cut that leaves no teeth marks and wood can be glued up off of the saw. i would say over all it does a great job of that. it produces smooth cut with very few secondary teeth marks present on the wood. i think if i pushed the wood harder along the fence or turned the saw off before the cut was finished, there would be no teeth marks. the blade did seem to feed a "hair" (little) slower than the Irwin Marathon but cut quality was dramatically improved and i would say the advertised glue line joint is correct. I imagine the hair slower cut speed was due to the slight increase in teeth count and slight thickness in blade width, at .105" (still considered a thin kerf). The CMT was up next, with 24T and thin kerf at .105 which was same as the Diablo. i suspected since this blade was a standard ripping blade that the cut quality would be in between the Irwin and Diablo. i was totally surprised that while having the speed of the Irwin the cut quality was actually better than the glue line Diablo! what an amazing blade! the added bonus is that on the back of the blade there are sharpening angles and its made to be sharpened multiple times. At a price of exactly the same as the Irwin at under $30 this blade is a total STEAL and my new go to brand for all my blades including circular and miter saws. Forget the more expensive blades, they are not worth it when this one is so good at this price! will not be disappointed.

Rips through anything with ease. Was having some issues ripping Oak with the other blade I had. Swapped to this and it made my life so much easier. Comes with a great sharp edge, fairly thin kerf and works extremely well. Didn't notice any vibration with the cuts and have used it on both hardwoods (Walnut/Coffeewood/Oak/Cherry) and soft woods (Pine). LOVE CMT Orange blades!

Blade quality makes clean cuts an ease. Rips through 8/4 maple and walnut with ease. It isn't any noisier than other blades.

These CMT Orange tool saw blade are phenominal. I run these on all my circular saw, table saw, and miter saw.. They stay sharp and cut clean.. If you are cutting many pine boards make sure you keep them clean.. Laundry detergent, and water with a soft bristle toothbrush work well.. make up your solution 50/50 and put your blade inside the lid of a 5 gallon bucket as your container for cleaning. Dry them really well afterwards before storing or putting back on your saw.

This blade rips through hardwood like butter! It's perfect for rough cuts and stayed sharp throughout my entire project, which was a huge plus. The only downside is it doesn’t leave the cleanest finish, so it’s not great for fine details. But if you’re looking for power and durability, this blade gets the job done.

Best blade for the price. Unless you are doing production wood work as your primary income, this blade will certainly meet your needs. Much higher quality than what's sold at box stores, and well worth the extra expense. Can't go wrong.

It gives such a clean and easy cut when ripping maple that changing blades is no longer a cure, I actually want to switch the blade because it cuts so well. I will be upgrading the blade on my 12inch miter saw to a CMT model soon

I was a bit skeptical as to how good this could be, since it's very affordable. But so far I love it! It's made ripping boards so much easier. Cute very well and fast and clean. No vibration issues, just smooth. Honestly seems like an upgrade over my default saw stop blade, or maybe it was just time to change it. We will see house long it lasts but so far so good and I've made several cuts with it.

Excelente corte.

En ninguna parte de todo el envoltorio ni en ninguna página, ni en la de cmt dice el grosor del disco, es thin kerf y eso le agrega un plus a este disco

Esta sierra es excelente, si solo necesitas hacer un corte rápido pero preciso, ésta es la sierra. Corte excelente y suave, la utilizo para carear madera irregular para después limpiar y los demás lados o para cortes de madera donde no necesito tanta precisión o corte limpio, pero aún así es estupenda porque lo hace.

hasta ahora no tengo ningún problema con maderas duras.

BUENA CALIDAD, VALE LA PENA
