LOW SPEED SAW EXCELLENT FOR CUTTING
SMALLER, DELICATE SAMPLES
Quality Products for Metallographic Sample Preparation & Analysis
TechCut 4

PRECISION LOW SPEED SAW
2
The TechCut 4
™
is a low speed saw excellent for cutting
smaller, delicate samples that cannot tolerate increased
heat caused by high speed sectioning.
The pivoting cutting arm has adjustable weights to apply
or counterbalance downward force to the sample during
sectioning. Cutting fluid is drawn from the reservoir by
the blade to cool the sample. With a 3" to 6" blade range,
samples up to 2" thick can be sectioned.
Accessories and consumables are sold separately.

Gravity-fed cutting system
3-6" (75-150 mm) diameter blade range, 0.5"
(12.7 mm) arbor hole

Cutting capacity: 2" (51 mm) thickness
Micrometer sample indexing, 0.002 µm
resolution, 0-25 mm range
Spring-retractable dressing stick attachment for
dressing while sectioning
Optical shut-off sensor with adjustable stop
to control depth of cut
Precision machined aluminum and stainless steel
construction that maximizes corrosion resistance and
durability

Wafering blades are available in Bonded, Plated or Solid
Core configurations with diamond, cubic boron nitride
(CBN), aluminum oxide (Al

) or silicon carbide (SiC)
mineral. They are recommended for precision sectioning or
when kerf (cut width) loss needs to be minimized.
Wafering Blades
Metal Bonded Rim Section
Metal Bonded Blades
Bonded blades are composed of an inner metal core
and an outer rim. The rim consists of either metal or resin
mixed with abrasive, cured under high temperature and
pressure to bond the matrix together. Metal bonding offers
long life and durability, while resin bonding creates less
heat, provides better surface finish and is well suited for
cutting hard, delicate or brittle materials.

Resin Bonded Blades
Recommended for general laboratory sectioning, excluding
ferrous alloys, at either low (<1,000 RPM) or high
(>1,000 RPM) speeds.
Recommended for sectioning very hard or brittle
materials such as ceramics, silicon, glass and refractories
where chipping and pullout need to be minimized. Most
commonly used at lower (<1,000 RPM) speeds.
High Concentration
Recommended for cutting hard, brittle or delicate materials
including ceramics, carbides, composites and exotic metals
where low heat generation or improved surface finishes are
desired. Most commonly used at higher (>1,000 RPM) speeds.
Recommended for sectioning hard steel, and iron, cobalt,
nickel and lead based alloys. Most commonly used at
lower (<1,000 RPM) speeds.
Recommended for sectioning hard steel above HRC 60.
Most commonly used at higher (>1,000 RPM) speeds.
