CMT Orange Chrome Heavy-Duty Cross Cutting Blade 12" x T72 ATB (1/8" Full Kerf)

Jonathan's Hot Take Description: This is one of the top professional 12" crosscut or fine finish blades on the market for good reason. The carbide teeth are massive and it is amazing at removing a lot of material while keeping the cut cool. When I am doing a bunch of cross cutting to length or cutting plywood on my table saw or miter saw, where I need a clean edge, this is the blade I reach for. Because it has 72 ATB teeth it is a great regular cross cutting blade. Blades with higher teeth count will give a slightly better finish but take a lot longer to get through a cut. The chrome coating makes it easy to clean which really extends life. These new models have 3 additional patents that increase stabilization and keep the blade cooler. These are now approved for Sawstop and if you're looking for a top tier blade at a big box store price this is definitely my absolute top pick. I recommend a full kerf blade for woodworkers who want greater precision, years of sharpenings out of one bl
