CB15U vs CB15UA — Spring vs No Spring
The CB15U and CB15UA are both 45° / 1.5mm blades for the same applications. The key difference is the spring:
| Blade | Spring | Holder Installation | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| CB15U (this listing) | No spring | Install directly into PHP35-CB15-HS | High-volume use — no spring removal step |
| CB15UA | Spring on blade | Remove spring before installing in PHP35-CB15-HS | Lower-volume use — 2-pack only |
For high-volume laminate and screen protection cutting the CB15U is the simpler choice — no spring removal step on every blade change. The PHP35-CB15-HS holder provides its own built-in spring mechanism.
CB15U 45° vs CB15U-K30 60° — Which Angle Do You Need?
| Blade | Angle | Best For | Compatible Series |
|---|---|---|---|
| CB15U (this listing) | 45° | Laminates, screen protection, device film, rigid self-adhesive | CE, FC, FCX |
| CB15U-K30 | 60° (USA) / 30° (Japan) | Sandblast resist, high-intensity reflective sheeting, small detail characters | FC, FCX only |
The CB15U 45° is broader in application and is the only 1.5mm blade compatible with CE series vinyl cutters as well as FC and FCX. The CB15U-K30 60° is for specialist applications requiring a more acute cutting edge.

Applications
• Laminates up to 0.5mm thick — clean cutting of laminate layers without delamination
• Smart device screen protection film — precise cuts for phone and tablet screen protectors
• Mobile device protective film — device wraps and protective film in the 0.25mm–0.5mm range
• Rigid self-adhesive media 0.25mm to 0.5mm — thicker specialty self-adhesive materials beyond the CB09 range
• Thicker vinyl and specialty media — any application requiring the increased diameter and rigidity of a 1.5mm blade
When to Replace
Replace CB15U when you notice:
• Tearing or delamination of laminate instead of a clean cut
• Incomplete cuts through screen protection or device film
• Visible tip chipping or deformation under magnification
• Increased cutting force required to maintain the same cut quality

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CB15U and CB15UA?
Both are 45° / 1.5mm super-steel blades for the same applications and machines. The CB15U (this listing) has no spring — install directly into the PHP35-CB15-HS holder without any preparation. The CB15UA has a spring attached — you must remove it before installing. Cutting performance is identical.
What is the difference between CB15U and CB15U-K30?
The CB15U (this listing) has a 45° angle — suited for laminates, screen protection, and device film. The CB15U-K30 has a 60° angle (USA) / 30° (Japan) — suited for sandblast resist and high-intensity reflective sheeting. The CB15U is also compatible with CE series, while CB15U-K30 is FC and FCX only.
What blade holder does the CB15U require?
The CB15U uses the PHP35-CB15-HS — 1.5mm blade holder with red top and brass tip. As the CB15U has no spring, it installs directly into the holder without any preparation. Do not use the 0.9mm PHP33-CB09N-HS holder — blade diameter must always match the holder.
Is the CB15U compatible with CE series Graphtec cutters?
Yes — the CB15U 45° blade is compatible with CE5000, CE6000, and CE7000 series cutters as well as FC and FCX series. This makes it one of the most broadly compatible 1.5mm blades in the Graphtec range.
Do you ship Graphtec blades to Latin America?
Yes — same day shipping from our Doral, Miami FL warehouse. Our Miami location is ideal for Latin American sign shops and screen protection film operations using freight forwarders in the Doral area.
