ATB
H01K carbide, 10° or 15° ATB geometry according to code, and positive 15° hook angle.
Professional circular saw bladesFreud
A 40-code Freud family for ripping and crosscutting wood-based panels, from 150 to 760 mm, for squaring saws, horizontal panel sizing saws and hand-held circular saws.
Application
LU2A is the broad universal family for panels: 40 configurations with 150–760 mm diameters, 20–80 mm bores and 18–96 teeth. Alternative tooth counts at many diameters allow cutting quality and feed rate to be balanced without changing family.
Technical note
H01K carbide across most of the range; the 735 and 760 mm variants use K10S. ATB geometry with a 10° or 15° bevel according to code and a positive 15° hook angle. Blades from 230 mm have anti-vibration slots. Always check FT01 or FT02 pin-hole patterns against the flange.

Operating parameters
The charts show how the recommended speed and cutting capacity change across the LU2A range.
Rotational speed
The actual speed must remain within the limits of both the blade and the machine.
Cutting capacity
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.
Dimensional selector
Filter the variants by the two key dimensions, then compare kerf, plate thickness, tooth count and pin-hole patterns.

Before choosing
Once LU2A has been identified, the exact product code depends on the machine requirements. The portal keeps these two decisions separate.
Permitted diameter, bore and pin holes.
Ripping / Crosscutting.
Kerf, plate thickness and tooth count.
Speed and cutting height according to the family charts.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for checking the application, compatibility and operating parameters before selecting a product code.
LU2A is designed for Ripping and Crosscutting. Its suitability must be checked against the material, machine and exact variant specifications.
The family is specified for Softwood, Hardwood, MDF, Chipboard, Plywood. Material density, coating, thickness and condition can affect the resulting edge quality. For LU2A, verify the selected reference within its 150–760 mm diameter and 18–96-tooth range.
The catalogue specifies Squaring saws, Hand-held circular saws, Horizontal panel sizing saws. Before fitting, check diameter, bore, flange or pin-hole pattern and the permitted maximum speed. For LU2A, verify the selected reference within its 150–760 mm diameter and 18–96-tooth range.
The family uses ATB 10° tooth geometry. Refer to the technical note for the carbide grade and hook angle. For LU2A, verify the selected reference within its 150–760 mm diameter and 18–96-tooth range.
There are 40 variants, with diameters from 150 to 760 mm, bores from 20 to 80 mm and tooth counts from 18 to 96. For LU2A, verify the selected reference within its 150–760 mm diameter and 18–96-tooth range.
For LU2A, start with the machine bore (20–80 mm) and the required diameter (150–760 mm). Then select within the available 18–96-tooth range by comparing kerf, plate thickness and any pin holes or keyways.
The correct speed for an LU2A blade depends on the selected diameter, which ranges from 150 to 760 mm, and on the machine. Never exceed the lower of the maximum RPM marked on that blade and the machine manufacturer’s limit.
A specialist can assess and resharpen the ATB carbide teeth used by LU2A, provided the blade body is undamaged. The original geometry, angles and balance must be preserved; the number of possible services depends on the condition of the selected reference.
