ITK PLUS ® general purpose circular saw blades

P10042-12042

The CMT P12042 12" ITK-PLUS General-Purpose Blade is the industrial workhorse for pros demanding versatile, high-performance cuts in all woods, harder species, composites, and even wet lumber—engineered with SinterHIP Hi-Density carbide for porosity-free durability and 2–3x longer life than traditional blades. Tri-metal brazing (Silver-Copper-Silver) absorbs severe impacts, while the Non-Stick Orange Shield® coating runs cooler, resists corrosion, and cuts pitch buildup. 42T ATB+SHEAR tooth design with laser-cut expansion slots prevents warping, patented dynamic balancing ensures vibration-free operation, and a tensioning ring adds stability. Precision mirror-finish sharpening (<0.25 μm edge) delivers razor-sharp, clean results on table saws or miter saws—your go-to for framing, ripping, and general woodworking that outperforms the competition.

• Industrial SinterHIP Hi-Density Carbide – Porosity-free for 2–3× longer life than standard carbide

• Tri-Metal Brazing (Silver-Copper-Silver) – Withstands impacts from hardwoods & composites

	INDUSTRIAL SINTERHIP HI-DENSITY CARBIDE The new process SinterHIP (high temperature 3500°F and high pressure 1500 psi) creates a porosity-free and Hi-Density carbide which provides a longer cutting life than tradition carbide.
	TRI-METAL BRAZING The Silver-Copper-Silver tri-metal brazing process lets the teeth with stand the severe impact caused by cutting harder woods and composite material.
	NON-STICK ORANGE SHIELD® COATING Keeps the blade running cool, reduces pitch build up and protects against corrosion. Ideal for all types of wood including wet lumber.
	LASER-CUT HEAT EXPANSION SLOTS Engineered to allow the blade to expand when heat build-up occurs from use, preventing blade warping.
	Unique patented dynamic balancing several orders of magnitude above and beyond that which is currently available in the marketplace.
	TENSIONING RING (10” and above) A visible tensioning ring on the blade provides stability while cutting and perfect concentricity during rotation.
	PRECISION MIRROR FINISH SHARPENING Each tooth is ground to razor sharp precision on a multi-axis CNC machine which creates perfect edge angles, guaranteeing extra-clean cuts and extended life. Featuring less than 0.25 μm Rmax in edge roughness.
