CMT ORANGE TOOLS 285.624.10 Orange Chrome Ripping Blade 10" x T24 Flat,Silver

Great blade for the money or cuts very smooth and I've had great luck with it

This is a nice blade for a decent price. I wanted a flat top blade to get a clean surface when doing notches, slots, half laps, etc... Unfortunately, I'm running this on a contractor saw, which is probably under-powered to run this thick kerf blade for ripping thick boards (you can feel the saw struggle even with soft wood).

Needed a good rip blade, and this is it - I've been a fan of CMT sawblades for a long time

I really like the CMT orange line. They are positioned quite well price wise between the big box store blades and premium price tags from Forrest, etc.This blade is a wonderful match to my Sawstop PCS175 for ripping through hardwood with ease. I also own the combo 50t blade, and I will get the dedicated crosscut blade when my box store one wears out.These can be reshaped and have the directions/angles/etc on the box. However, any place that sharpens blades wouldn’t need those. In my area, by the time I resharpen it just once it pays for itself, and there’s a lot of carbide on these for resharpening.A little more up front, but well worth it for me

Excellent quality blade. Rips nice and clean. Flat top grind makes precise grooves. Best part for me is the full width kerf is perfect for putting splines in mitered corners because I can use standard 1/8 thick stock and it fits every time. Looking forward to seeing how the chrome coating holds up compared to other blades.

Perfect upgrade from factory blade. Nice clean rip cuts and perfectly flat dados. This is my go to blade for perfect rips / dados with no burns or blow out.

I had the ITK 24 tooth ripping blade from CMT and decided to go up to a Chrome. Both work very well and this one does exactly what I need it to do. I'm able to rip boards and glue them right up with this blade without any issues. Very happy with this CMT blade.

This the second CMT Orange Chrome 24 tooth ripping blade I have purchased; identical to the first one, but for use at my second home woodshop. I haven't used this new blade yet, but the other one is identical and I found it to be excellent for ripping hardwood, plywood or any other material. Although it takes a few minutes to swap out your 72 tooth or other cross-cutting blade, the improvement in rip cuts is well worth the time. The rip cuts are nearly always without burn, even when cutting 4/4 material and are pretty much glue edge ready right from the saw. It also makes sense to add the spray bottle of Orange blade cleaner with your purchase, especially if you are working with exotics. The blade is easy to clean and it takes only a few minutes to keep in in top cutting condition. I haven't used either blade long enough to be sure about "longevity", but see no reason why it will not perform well in the future if properly tuned and maintained and thus, have given it a five on that category. Time will tell.
