CMT 256.050.10 ITK Industrial Combination Saw Blade, 10-Inch x 50 Teeth 1FTG+4ATB Grindwith 5/8-Inch Bore

Great blade, makes clean cross cuts and stays sharp, mostly cut pine boards; perfect blade and well priced.

After much measuring and blade rotating etc. (Using another quality blade which produced similar run out characteristics), it seems the arbor on the new table saw was causing the run out problem, not the blade (as suggesed by the manufacturer), so faith in the brand is restored. Have left the original review below, just in case others have had similar experiences. Whilst not a newby, I have certainly learnt a lot about this unexpected issue and how to check for it. I am told a replacement arbor is on the way. Old review: Looked forward to the arrival of this blade mainly because of all the rave reviews. However, I ended up very disappointed as the blade "sings" (high pitch) but more importantly, runs out of true on one part of the blade (about 0.4/0.5mm, as best I could measure it). This is evident in a practical way by the scraping teeth at that point (portion) of the blade on one side of a zero clearance cross slide when the blade is slowing down or is moved manually. So while useable, it is very annoying. I may have just been unlucky, but this first off experience makes it hard to trust the brand... Or maybe, I was just expecting too much.

one of the best cutting blades i have used. Cut a bunch of variuos plywood and melanine scraps yesterday and, it was effortless. Truly effortless. nice blade

I’m running the CMT 10-inch × 50T Industrial Combination Blade on a compact jobsite saw, and it performs far better than expected. Despite being slightly heavier than many thin-kerf blades, my saw’s motor handles it without strain or bogging down, even during long rip cuts. The balance and grind quality give it an incredibly smooth feed—cuts glide through hardwoods like maple and oak with zero burning or chatter. The thin kerf design still minimizes resistance while providing the stiffness of a full-kerf plate, so alignment stays true under load. Cross-cuts leave a clean, almost sanded edge; ripping shows no burn marks or tear-out. The vibration slots keep noise down and prevent blade warp after extended use. This blade transformed my jobsite saw’s performance, combining precision and durability that rival higher-end shop setups.

Been always a big fan of CMT - good blade and stays sharp if well treated. No wobble and clean cut with very minimal tear out.
