Benefits
- HW carbide tips with TCG or FWF tooth geometry, depending on the item.
- Selection by exact CMT code, diameter, bore and tooth count.
- A range for compatible machines using 160–355 mm blades.
Machine and speed selection
MAX RPM is the maximum speed listed in the CMT 2026 catalogue, not a universal operating recommendation. Follow the blade markings, machine instructions and application requirements. Before fitting, check the bore, drive pin holes, rotation direction, guards and machine compatibility. Do not select the operating speed by diameter alone.
Frequently asked questions
Can I cut 316 stainless steel? CMT states that performance is not guaranteed on harder materials, including 316. Ask for an application check before ordering.
Do all sizes have the same teeth? No. The 160–216 mm items have TCG geometry in the 2026 catalogue; the 250–355 mm items have FWF 10° geometry.
How do I choose the bore? Match the machine spindle and drive system. Outside diameter alone does not establish compatibility.
What does MAX RPM mean? The maximum permitted rotational speed. Actual operating conditions must follow the machine and blade manufacturers’ instructions.
