What goes into making a world-class saw blade:
Laser cutting: The steel plate of the blade is laser cut, NEVER die cut, from superior strength steel. This way of cutting steel is not only extremely precise but it makes it possible to cut harder strengths of steel and does not stress the plate while cutting, so the resulting blade is flat and true and more resistant to warping.
Grinding and tensioning: After being cut, the blade is polished and tensioned. The central bore is then ground to a smooth finish so that the blade fits precisely on the saw arbor providing perfect concentricity during rotation. The seats for the carbide teeth are also ground ensuring a perfect fit providing the conditions for a secure braze.
Silver-copper-silver sandwich brazing: Automated brazing the carbide teeth to the steel saw plate with a special silver-copper-silver “sandwich” brazing compound yields excellent results and reduces the chances of failed welds.
Specially formulated carbide tips: CMT had studied carbide formulas and their impact on blade performance and has developed specially formulated micrograin carbide tips to match each blade’s specific application. Each blade receives the carbide that will best optimize edge retention and facilitate resharpening.
Sharpening and laser marking: The final step is sharpening the micrograin carbide teeth. Each angle is ground to razor-sharp precision - down to the Milacron - on multi-axis CNC machines. Each blade is then laser marked with all the details about the blade type and its uses.

Buying a circular saw blade is an investment and the right saw blade is a key part of a successful project. If you’re in the market for a new saw blade look no further. We’ve compiled the ultimate guide for how to buy the right circular saw blade for your work.
The most important and obvious first step toward buying a circular saw is to be certain the blade you choose is right for cutting the material you're cutting, and, that it fits your power saw. Each type of circular saw blade is designed for a specific job so you need to know what you’re going to want to use it for. Whether it’s to cut a specific material or work with specific power saws, you must know exactly what you will need to use your circular saw blade for before you buy one.
To be sure you’re buying the correct circular blade for your saw, you will want to compare the blade diameter and blade type with the capacity of your saw. For example, handheld circular saws typically accept smaller carbide-tipped blades. Tile saws use larger 7–10 inch diamond-tipped blades. Table saws use larger 10–12 inch carbide-tipped blades. And metal-cutting circular saws typically use a 14-inch abrasive blade. You will also want to check the hole in the center of the saw blade (also known as the arbor hole) to be sure it fits the shaft of your saw. Lastly, check the RPM (or rotations per minute) of the blade to be sure that it is compatible with your power saw.
Now that we’ve covered the basics to consider when looking to buy a circular saw, let’s go over the different kinds of circular saw blades.
As the name suggests, abrasive blades are tough. While they are not diamond-edged like the others, they are instead made of abrasive material such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide to offer a strong cut. Typically used to cut through tough material like brick, abrasive blades can also be used in some instances for cutting metal. This is a good blade to have around for any heavy-duty home projects you may be doing.
As with any DIY project that involves saws and blades, safety should always come first. Be sure that you are skilled enough in using your power saw of choice before taking on anything too heavy-duty. As you decide which circular saw is best for you make sure you know exactly what you intend to use it for and your power saw's capabilities.
