CMT tools are manufactured with Micrograin carbide — a fine-grain carbide material that delivers exceptionally sharp edges with long service life. The iconic orange colour (PTFE coating) is not just a trademark — it reduces friction, prevents resin and glue build-up, and extends tool life.

Frequently asked questions about CMT Orange Tools
What does CMT Orange Tools manufacture?
CMT manufactures professional carbide cutting tools: router bits for handheld routers, saw blades for circular and mitre saws, drill bits (Forstner, plug cutters, twist drills), CNC spiral cutters and diamond tools. Everything is made in Pesaro, Italy, with Micrograin carbide.
Why are CMT tools orange?
The orange colour is a PTFE (Teflon) coating that reduces cutting friction, prevents resin, glue and chip build-up on the tool, and lowers operating temperature. This extends tool life and produces cleaner cuts.
Do CMT router bits fit my Festool router?
Yes, CMT router bits with 8 mm shanks fit directly into Festool OF 1010, OF 1400 and OF 2200. CMT offers bits in 6 mm, 8 mm and 12 mm shanks for all common handheld routers.
What is the difference between CMT Chrome and Industrial?
The Chrome series (orange) uses Micrograin carbide of the highest quality — sharper edges, longer life, PTFE coating. The Industrial series (grey) offers reliable quality at a lower price, ideal for less frequent use.
