Professional circular saw bladesFreud
A 25-code Freud family dedicated to crosscutting wood-based panels, from 150 to 600 mm and 48 to 168 teeth.
Application
LU2C specialises in crosscutting, where panel edges are most exposed to chipping. Its 25 configurations use the highest tooth counts in the LU2 range, from 48 teeth at 150 mm to 168 teeth at 600 mm. The restrained 5° hook angle supports a controlled cutting action on laminated surfaces and thermoplastic composites.
Technical note
H00K carbide, 15° ATB tooth geometry and positive 5° hook angle. Blades from 230 mm have anti-vibration slots. Use a more controlled feed rate than with a universal blade; forcing the cut creates heat without improving finish.

Technical configuration
Shared family specifications, kept separate from the dimensions of each individual code.
H00K carbide, 15° ATB tooth geometry and positive 5° hook angle.
Specially formulated carbide tips for durability and cutting quality.
Coating designed to reduce friction, heat and material build-up.
Technology designed to reduce vibration and noise.
Operating parameters
The charts show how the recommended speed and cutting capacity change across the LU2C 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 LU2C 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.
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.
LU2C is designed for Crosscutting. Its suitability must be checked against the material, machine and exact variant specifications.
The family is specified for Softwood, Hardwood, Chipboard, Laminated MDF, Thermoplastic composites. Material density, coating, thickness and condition can affect the resulting edge quality. For LU2C, verify the selected reference within its 150–600 mm diameter and 48–168-tooth range.
The catalogue specifies Squaring saws, Hand-held circular saws. Before fitting, check diameter, bore, flange or pin-hole pattern and the permitted maximum speed. For LU2C, verify the selected reference within its 150–600 mm diameter and 48–168-tooth range.
The family uses ATB 15° tooth geometry. Refer to the technical note for the carbide grade and hook angle. For LU2C, verify the selected reference within its 150–600 mm diameter and 48–168-tooth range.
There are 25 variants, with diameters from 150 to 600 mm, bores from 20 to 40 mm and tooth counts from 48 to 168. For LU2C, verify the selected reference within its 150–600 mm diameter and 48–168-tooth range.
For LU2C, start with the machine bore (20–40 mm) and the required diameter (150–600 mm). Then select within the available 48–168-tooth range by comparing kerf, plate thickness and any pin holes or keyways.
The correct speed for an LU2C blade depends on the selected diameter, which ranges from 150 to 600 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 LU2C, 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.
