Equipment description:

The Model 650 low speed diamond wheel saw is a compact, multipurpose, precision saw designed to cut a wide variety of materials with minimal subsurface damage. Its low speed makes it possible to cut fragile materials that would otherwise fracture and soft materials that would load the diamond wheel on a higher speed saw. A variety of sample holders provides a means for mounting any shape sample while goniometer adaptability simplifies cutting oriented crystals.

System features:

  • Belt drive system for robust operation
  • Coarse and fine sample position adjustments
  • Automatic termination of cutting process
