CMT P12096 ITK Melamine & Ultra Finish Saw Blade, 12-Inch X 96 Teeth, 1-Inch Bore

A new saw blade which reduces material waste and demand on the saw, while delivering reliable, industrial-quality performance cut after cut!

This blade features a heavy-duty steel plate (44 Rockwell) for higher resistance during work, laser-cut heat expansion slots and sound dampening channels to prevent the tool from warping during rotation and greatly reduce vibrations!

Blade teeth are made of Industrial SinterHip High-density carbide which prevents the tool from any material failure and guarantees a longer cutting life.

Also, the new Shear Angle Grind on the teeth front face produces smooth cuts, reduces the blade cutting force and improves the cutting speed, setting a new standard for performance and value.

Last but not least, the blade Non-Stick Orange Shield Coating keeps the blade running cool, reduces pitch build-up and protects against corrosion. Ideal for all woods including wet lumber.

This outstanding saw blade is delivered in practical clamshell packaging.
