Abstract:
1. A method for cutting an object using a carriage connected to a frame wherein pulleys are connected to the carriage and further wherein a diamond-impregnated wire is connected to the pulleys wherein the carriage has a first end and a second end located in a position opposite to the first end and further wherein the frame has a first end and a second end located in a position opposite to the first end, the method comprising the steps of: moving the carriage from a first position relative to the frame to a second position relative to the frame wherein the first end of the carriage is adjacent to the first end of the frame if the carriage is located in the first position and further wherein moving the carriage from the first position to the second position moves the first end of the carriage in a first direction wherein the second end of the carriage is adjacent to the second end of the frame if the carriage is located in the first position and further wherein moving the carriage from the first position to the second position moves the second end of the carriage in a second direction that is different than the first direction; cutting the object wherein the object is cut by the diamond-impregnated wire as the carriage moves from the first position relative to the frame to the second position relative to the frame; and moving the carriage from the second position to the first position.
