When to choose LU1E

LU1E uses flat teeth and an anti-kickback design to make ripping dry softwood and hardwood easier, including timber with loose knots. Its five variants cover 250–350 mm diameters, 25–30 mm bores and 24–32 teeth.

Technical note

H01K carbide, flat tooth geometry and a positive 15° hook angle. The reduced kerf removes less material and supports easier feed. Check diameter, bore, pin holes, kerf and permitted machine speed before selecting a variant.

Anti-kickback design that controls tooth engagement with the material.

Operating parameters

Diameter, RPM and cutting height

The charts show how the recommended speed and cutting capacity change across the LU1E range.

Rotational speed LU1E
Revolutions per minuteDiameter (mm)

Rotational speed

The recommended RPM range decreases as blade diameter increases.

The actual speed must remain within the limits of both the blade and the machine.

Cutting capacity LU1E
Cutting height (mm)Diameter (mm)

Cutting capacity

Maximum cutting height increases with blade diameter.

This is a family-level reference; actual clearance and capacity also depend on the machine.

Essential check: before fitting the blade, check its diameter, bore, pin-hole pattern, direction of rotation and the maximum RPM marked on the blade.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the LU1E family

Quick answers for checking the application, compatibility and operating parameters before selecting a product code.

01 What is the LU1E family designed for?

LU1E is designed for ripping dry softwood and hardwood, including timber with loose knots, on compatible squaring saws, table saws and hand-held circular saws.

02 What is the benefit of a thin kerf?

A thinner kerf removes less material and generally requires less cutting effort. The selected blade must still match the machine diameter, bore, plate thickness and permitted speed. For LU1E, verify the selected reference within its 250–350 mm diameter and 24–32-tooth range.

03 Is LU1E suitable for crosscutting?

Its primary application is ripping. For a cleaner crosscut, use a family with tooth geometry and tooth count designed for crosscutting. For LU1E, verify the selected reference within its 250–350 mm diameter and 24–32-tooth range.

04 How do I choose the correct LU1E code?

Check the permitted diameter, central bore, any pin holes, kerf and tooth count. The five variants use 250, 300 and 350 mm diameters with 25 or 30 mm bores. For LU1E, verify the selected reference within its 250–350 mm diameter and 24–32-tooth range.

05 What does a flat tooth with a 15° hook angle mean?

A flat top tooth has a straight cutting edge suited to efficient ripping. LU1E combines H01K carbide with a positive 15° hook angle.

06 What does FT01 mean?

FT01 identifies the combined 2/7/42 + 2/9/46.4 + 2/10/60 pin-hole pattern, which must match the machine flange or spindle. For LU1E, verify the selected reference within its 250–350 mm diameter and 24–32-tooth range.

07 At what speed should an LU1E blade run?

Speed depends on the variant diameter. Consult the family chart and never exceed the limit marked on the blade or permitted by the machine. For LU1E, verify the selected reference within its 250–350 mm diameter and 24–32-tooth range.

08 Can LU1E blades be resharpened?

A specialist can resharpen the carbide teeth while retaining the original geometry, angles and balance, after checking the blade body and anti-kickback shoulders. For LU1E, verify the selected reference within its 250–350 mm diameter and 24–32-tooth range.
