CMT 285.640.10 Orange Chrome Carbide 10” General Purpose Combination Blade, 40 Teeth,

The CMT 285.640.10 Orange Chrome Carbide 10-Inch Blade is a general-purpose combination saw blade built for woodworkers who need one reliable tool for multiple cutting tasks. Featuring 40 carbide teeth, it balances cutting speed and edge quality across everyday woodworking jobs.

Designed for flexibility, this blade handles both ripping and crosscutting operations. Its large gullets allow deep cutting passes while clearing away wood chips efficiently, and the 30-degree High Alternate Top Bevel (HiATB) grind helps achieve clean cut edges across softwoods, hardwoods, plywood, and chipboard.

With a standard 10-inch diameter and a 5/8-inch bore, it mounts directly onto table saws, miter saws, radial arm saws, and compatible specialty saws. The blade features a 0.0126-inch kerf, a 0.087-inch plate thickness, and a 12-degree tooth hook angle tailored for stable, controlled cutting performance.

Because it uses a fixed 5/8-inch arbor hole and a 10-inch diameter, it will not fit smaller portable saws or machines that require a different arbor size. Additionally, the listing does not include specialty coating details beyond the chrome carbide design.

Verdict: This blade is a solid choice for woodworkers seeking a single 10-inch blade to manage both rip cuts and crosscuts across solid lumber and sheet goods.
