This outstanding saw blade is delivered in practical carrying case. From the Manufacturer Hardiplank and Hardipanel are becoming a household name with the building contractor. Cutting these materials efficiently while keeping the dust a minimum has been a challenge for tooling manufacturers. The CMT blade offers smooth cuts and reduces dust while keeping a sharp edge. Due to the success of the CMT solution for the cutting of fiber cement board, quality contractors have been clamoring for CMT to manufacture a 10" and 12" version of our blade to solve the problem of mitering this material. CMT is happy to introduce a 10" and 12" version of the Hardiplank and Hardipanel blade for use of miter saws.
