Mike Brown Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I was at my favorite Lowes picking up some items for the Honey Do List earlier this week. Every trip to Lowes requires a trip through the tool department to satisfy my tool fetish and addiction. I was checking out the new miter saw from Bosch, and in the same row was CMT dado blades,marked down from $95.00 to $35.00. I have never used CMT blades, but I really like the router bits they make. The item number is P08012 , eight inch blades. I don't think these blades will compete with Forest or other really high end dado blades, but 35 dollars is a pretty low price of admission. For disclosure purposes, I do not work for Lowes or CMT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddclippinger Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I have not looked at the CMT Dado set, but I love my CMT blades and I make a living out of the shop so good blades are important to me. Most of my CMT blades cost about $85 & I am getting crosscuts with their 40 tooth blade that competes with an 80 tooth blade. I think you better run back to the store & pick up that dado set!

I bought one set for myself and two for Christmas gifts for my brother in laws. I have not had the chance to try them out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellyj00 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 CMT has what they call the "ITK" which is thin kerf, designed for job-site work. Not nearly as nice, or as long lasting, as the original CMT "Orange Tools" stuff. Not saying the CMT ITK is a bad bit, just that it's thin kerf, and isn't really designed to be resharpened, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
