CMT 214.040.10 Industrial Thin Kerf General Purpose Saw Blade, 10-Inch x 40 Teeth 20° ATB Grind with 5/8-Inch Bore, PTFE Coating

Description

Product Overview

The CMT 214.040.10 industrial thin‑kerf saw blade is engineered for professionals who demand accuracy, speed, and durability in every cut. Constructed from premium micrograin carbide, the blade features 40 teeth with a 20° Alternate Top Bevel (ATB) grind, delivering exceptionally clean rip and cross‑cut finishes on a variety of wood species, including hardwood, softwood, and plywood. The blade’s 0.102‑inch kerf thickness and 0.071‑inch plate thickness reduce material waste and lower power consumption, while the 5/8‑inch bore ensures compatibility with most 10‑inch table and miter saws. A proprietary PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coating coats the cutting edge, minimizing friction, reducing heat buildup, and preventing pitch buildup, which translates into longer blade life and consistent performance over extended use. The German‑style design reflects CMT’s commitment to precision engineering, and the blade’s silver and orange color scheme provides easy visual identification in a busy workshop environment.

Usage

This blade excels in both rip and cross‑cut applications, making it a versatile choice for cabinet makers, furniture builders, and hobbyist woodworkers alike. Whether you are cutting solid hardwood boards for a custom table, trimming plywood sheets for cabinet doors, or performing repetitive cuts on engineered lumber, the thin‑kerf design ensures fast, efficient material removal with minimal resistance. The blade’s ATB tooth geometry produces a smooth finish that often eliminates the need for secondary sanding, saving time and labor. Its PTFE coating also makes it well‑suited for high‑speed operations where heat management is critical, such as when cutting dense hardwoods or working in a production line environment. The 5/8‑inch bore fits standard 10‑inch table saws, miter saws, and portable job‑site saws, allowing you to swap it in quickly without the need for additional adapters.

FAQ

What types of wood are best suited for this blade?

The blade performs well on hardwoods, softwoods, and engineered plywood. Its ATB tooth profile and thin kerf make it ideal for both rip and cross‑cut applications across a wide range of wood species.

Can this blade be used on a miter saw?

Yes, the 5/8‑inch bore is compatible with most 10‑inch miter saws. The blade’s thin‑kerf design and PTFE coating provide clean cuts and reduced heat buildup, making it suitable for precise angle cuts on a miter saw.

How does the PTFE coating affect blade performance?

PTFE creates a non‑stick surface that minimizes friction and heat during cutting. This reduces wear on the carbide teeth, extends blade life, and helps maintain a smooth finish on the workpiece.

Is the blade sharpenable?

Yes, the carbide teeth can be professionally resharpened. However, the PTFE coating may need to be reapplied after sharpening to retain its protective benefits.

What warranty does CMT provide for this blade?

CMT offers a warranty that covers manufacturing defects and guarantees replacement if the blade does not perform as advertised when used for its intended applications. The warranty excludes damage from misuse, improper installation, or resharpening without proper re‑coating.
