The CMT 253.072.12 Industrial Thin Kerf (ITK) Compound Miter Saw Blade is engineered for high-performance crosscutting and trim work, especially on compound miter saws. With a 12-inch diameter and 72 finely crafted teeth, this blade delivers smooth, clean cuts in a variety of wood materials, including hardwood, softwood, and composite panels.

Chrome-Plated Blade for Superior Durability

This blade features a premium chrome-plated finish that enhances resistance against corrosion, pitch buildup, and resin deposits. The chrome coating not only extends tool life but also reduces friction, allowing for cooler operation and more efficient cutting.

• Corrosion- and resin-resistant surface for extended longevity
• Reduced motor load for smoother cutting performance
• Minimized maintenance due to non-stick coating
• Surface hardness rated at 380–400 Vickers for maximum durability

Tri-Metal Brazing Technology for Heavy-Duty Cutting

CMT's Silver-Copper-Silver Tri-Metal Brazing securely bonds the micrograin carbide teeth to the blade body, enabling the teeth to withstand the high stress and impact associated with cutting dense woods and engineered materials.

• Designed for precision crosscuts and trim applications
• Handles demanding jobs on hardwoods, plywood, MDF, and more
• High-strength bond extends the sharpness and life of each tooth

Ideal For:

• Compound miter saws and radial arm saws
