A variety of fixtures are available to accommodate most sample shapes/geometries.
With a 1/4-20 threaded hole in each, they are easily interchangeable on the arm of either the TechCut 4™ or the newer TechCut 4x™ and other models with a similar thread interface.
If using a 3-inch (75 mm) blade, the large flange is highly recommended.
The unique design of the TechCut 5x™ allows the user to quickly and easily switch between T-slot and X-axis indexing tables. The greater surface area of the T-slot table is more suitable for larger samples, while indexing tables provide quantitative X-axis positioning between the sample and blade for precision sectioning applications. This flexibility enables quick breakdown and setup of fixturing when dealing with a wide range of sample shapes and sizes.
Use the configurator for assistance with compatibility with each table option - with some accessories designed only for use with one or the other.
