Leuco saw blades

[The Jackel]

Not sure if anyone on here knows anything about this brand. I have six 12inch blades with 72 teeth and they appear to be brand new but tarnished as they had got damp in packaging also six smaller 8 inch blades. They have a much larger centre hole than a standard circular saw blade about 45-50mm. I have done a bit of searching and they appear to be a very got quality German make. Not sure if they are of any interest to you wood working guys. Open to offers based in Somerset cheers Carl

Those are very good industrial blades used mainly on production lines. I used to sharpen ones that were used to cut up to 6 sheets of 18 mm mdf / mfc . Sharpened correctly they would last up to a month on a 8 hr days use . Reducing bushes are available so they will fit different saws.

Could well be a set of circular multirip blades. Can you get a measurement on the bore? I'd be interested.

Hi the larger blade has a 60mm bore and the smaller a 45mm bore diameter of smaller is 180mm larger 335mm not sure if larger has been sharpened as I have nothing to compare it too. I have tried to upload some picks of the blades cheers Carl

Smaller one

Close up of larger. Not sure how to post more than one pic at a time. You can see the marks from storage. Some are worse than others. There are five or six of each size all the same type Cheers Carl

That bigger one is funny looking thing. Maybe made for aluminium cutting??

 

Edit, and it looks like the smaller one (at 180x45) might be a 'scoring' saw blade, for pre-cutting veneered and sheet boards.

that funny looking one is a chip breaker used for cutting MFC or melamine faced chipboard to people not in the know. it has beveled teeth and alternately faced teeth to limit the chipping of the melamine as you cut.

 

the underside is usually scored as well to stop horrendous break out underneath.

What Steve says, just the same as I used to sharpen, they do look past there best though.

Thanks. Every day's a school day. I've never really done anything with panel products/ MFC and all that edgebanding malarkey.
