The CMT 215.050.10 is an industrial-grade 10-inch combination circular saw blade featuring a 4ATB+1TCG tooth configuration designed for versatile ripping and crosscutting of soft/hard woods, plywood, and chipboard. It utilizes heavy-gauge German steel with a PTFE Orange Shield coating to ensure durability and reduced drag, though the thicker kerf may waste more material. It is best suited for professional woodworkers needing a single blade for mixed tasks with a focus on clean finishes.
The CMT 256.050.10 is a thin-kerf industrial combination saw blade designed for professional use on tablesaws, offering clean cuts with minimal material removal and reduced vibration across various wood composites and non-ferrous metals. It features premium German steel construction and polyurethane-filled slots for vibration reduction, making it ideal for cabinetmakers and contractors requiring precision in mixed rip and crosscut applications. Ideal for portable or underpowered saws due to reduced motor load from thin kerf design.
