CMT 8-1/2 in Miter Saw Blade 60T ITK grind 5/8 bore vs 12in miter saw blades 2-pack dw-3128/dw-3123 32T&80T tungsten carbide
Overall winner: CMT 8-1/2 in Miter Saw Blade 60T ITK grind 5/8 bore
Key Differences
CMT ORANGE TOOLS (A) is an 8.5" 60T blade noted for glass-smooth cuts, a thin kerf, and strong user ratings, making it suited to compound miter saw users who want fine finish and minimal waste. OEM home (B) ships a 12" two-pack with 80T and 32T tungsten carbide blades offering higher hardness and wear resistance but has reports of wobble/unbalance and mixed fit compatibility, so it’s better for users needing longer blade life or multiple tooth counts if their saw accepts 12" blades
