Manual

Manual sectioning involves manual operation by an operator to drive either the sample into the blade, or the blade into the sample.
 
The PowerCut 10x™ is a large format abrasive cut-off saw with a wheel capacity of up to 10" (250 mm) for regular cutting of samples ranging in thickness up to about 3" (65 mm). Its swing-arm design positions the blade down into the sample that is secured in place to the table by either vise(s) and/or clamp(s).
 
The TrimSaw 2x™ is a table-saw designed for cutting either flat substrates or small samples by hand-feeding them into the blade/wheel.

PowerCut 10x

The PowerCut 10x™ is a powerful, manual bench-top cut-off saw designed for low to high volume applications. It accommodates blades ranging from 8" to 10" in diameter, allowing a wide variety of sample shapes and sizes up to 3.75" (95 mm) thick to be sectioned. A side port allows the cutting of longer samples such as bar stock. The PowerCut 10x™ has been redesigned with updated features such as an external wash-down hose & nozzle; blade guard with improved coolant manifold; improved drain flow through a larger opening; torsion-style motor return spring; new LED lighting and a taller cover with improved edge profile to keep water/coolant from dripping out.

TrimSaw 2x

The TrimSaw 2x™ is a manual-feed, variable speed table saw that is ideal for cutting printed circuit boards, composite/ceramic substrates, electronic devices and other nonmetals. Cutting fluid is drawn from the reservoir by the rotating blade, applied to the sample during sectioning, then channeled back to the reservoir through holes in the platform. When using a 6-inch diameter blade, the rim extends 1.6” (41 mm) above the cutting platform, allowing up to 1.5” (38 mm) thick samples to be sectioned. The adjustable rip-fence is made of stainless steel and allows measured, guided sectioning through the blade. Optional miter-guide and multipurpose fixtures slide in the table slot for more precise cutting requirements or when handheld sectioning cannot be tolerated.
