Usage
Designed for precision cutting of non-ferrous metals (such as aluminum, copper, and brass) and composite materials, the CMT Ultra Fine Universal Blade 140 x 20mm Z48 is ideal for clean cross-cuts in professional or industrial settings.
Advantages
- Ultra-fine 48-tooth configuration delivers smooth and accurate finishes on non-ferrous metal and composite materials.
- Universal design ensures compatibility with a wide range of table saws and mitre saws using a 20mm bore.
- Laser-cut steel body provides high rigidity for stable operation without deformation during intensive use[4].
- Noiseless operation thanks to sound-dampening polymer-filled slots that reduce vibration by up to 25%[4].
- May cut somewhat slower than coarse blades due to its high tooth count, but ensures maximum finish quality[1][10].
Specifications
- The blade features a robust laser-cut body made from high-quality harmonic steel for strength and long life[4][1].
- The special chrome coating protects against corrosion, resin build-up, and wear; maintenance is fast and easy[1][7]. Compliant with national noise emission standards.
- Blade diameter: 140 mm; Bore: 20 mm; Tooth count: Z48. Optimized tooth geometry supports ultra-fine cutting with minimal material loss. Typical kerf between approximately 1.5–3 mm (exact value dependent on series)[8][10]. Recommended speeds for non-ferrous metals are typically between 50–95 m/s depending on the machine’s settings[8].
- Differentiating features include micrograin carbide-tipped teeth set at optimized angles to deliver precise results across various composites while maximizing tool life by supporting multiple re-sharpenings[7][4][10]. Precision tensioning rings further enhance stability during demanding operations.[1]
How it works
The blade mounts onto compatible circular saws using its standard bore. As the blade rotates at recommended speeds, its fine carbide-tipped teeth enable controlled chip removal from soft metals or composites—minimizing vibration while ensuring clean edges with each pass.
