PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT<br />
A new dimension<br />
for panel sizing<br />
Leuco’s diamond-tipped panel-sizing circular saw blades are said<br />
to achieve high cutting quality with long tool lives, and after being<br />
upgraded, they now perform better and are more robust.<br />
Leuco has further improved their DP<br />
panel cutting circular saw blades,<br />
introducing the two cut lines U-Cut and<br />
Q-Cut to complement the HW version.<br />
The U-Cut variant is ideal for classic or<br />
universal cuts while the Q-Cut version is<br />
used for high-quality finish cuts. Now,<br />
these saw blades are capable of cutting<br />
all particleboards and medium-density<br />
fibreboard (MDF) panels.<br />

LEGEND<br />
1 The new<br />
diamond-tipped<br />
panel-sizing<br />
circular saw<br />
blades U-Cut<br />
with TR-F-FA<br />
and Q-Cut with<br />
G6 are on a par<br />
with the HW<br />
versions in terms<br />
of application and<br />
cutting quality,<br />
while achieving<br />
up to 20 times the<br />
tool life<br />

a bigger wedge<br />
angle reduce the<br />
risk of breakage<br />
to DP teeth<br />

ROBUST CREDENTIALS<br />
According to Leuco, the DP variants of<br />
both cut categories have smaller gullets,<br />
and this makes the tools more robust.<br />
Thicker teeth with a bigger wedge angle<br />
reduce the risk of tooth breakage. Also,<br />
with their new grade of diamond, these<br />
saw blades can reportedly process<br />
all standards of wood materials. The<br />
strength achieved is also able to protect<br />
the fragile diamond-tipped tool from<br />
foreign bodies.<br />
MELLOW SOUNDS, LONG SERVICE LIFE<br />
The DP version of the Q-Cut line also has<br />
laser ornaments that are mounted in a<br />
specific sequence and are filled with a<br />
vibration-damping material. This means<br />
that the saw blade cuts more smoothly,<br />
delivering power and quality without a<br />
lot of noise. Additionally, Leuco reports<br />
that it does so consistently right across<br />
the service life of the saw blade, even<br />
after all sharpening operations. The<br />
new saw blades are said to be able to<br />
reach 20 times the tool service life of<br />
their HW counterpart, making them the<br />
equivalent of “marathon runners”, as<br />
declared by Leuco. P<br />
