Abstract:
1. A system for cutting an object, the system comprising: a frame; a carriage connected to the frame wherein the carriage moves from a first position relative to the frame to a second position relative to the frame and further wherein the carriage is substantially parallel to the frame if the carriage is in the first position wherein the carriage is angled relative to the frame if the carriage is in the second position; pulleys connected to the carriage; a wire attached to the pulleys wherein the wire travels through the pulleys; diamond beads attached to the wire; a clamp subsystem having a subframe connected to the frame; a first clamp having a first end and a second end located in a position opposite to the first end wherein the first end of the first clamp is connected to the subframe; a second clamp having a first end and a second end located in a position opposite to the first end wherein the first end of the second clamp is connected to the subframe; and a first arm having a first end and a second end located in a position opposite to the first end wherein the first end of the first clamp is connected to a rod and a second arm having a first end and a second end located in a position opposite to the first end wherein the first end of the second clamp is connected to the rod wherein the first arm and the second arm are substantially perpendicular to the rod and further wherein the first clamp is connected to the second end of the first arm and the second clamp is connected to the second end of the second arm wherein the rod rotates in a first direction to pivot the second end of the first clamp and the second end of the second clamp toward each other in a first position wherein the first clamp and the second clamp encircle the object and press the object against the subframe and further wherein the rod rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction to pivot the second end of the first clamp and the second end of the second clamp away from each other in a second position; wherein the object is cut by the wire when the carriage is moved from one position to the other position.
