High Precision, Full Featured,
and Versatile.

The ISOMETTM Low Speed Saw is a
precision sectioning saw designed for
cutting all types of materiats with lttle or no
deformation. its low kerf loss capability
and great versatility in holding all types of
sample shapes and configurations, gives
loday’s laboratory a precision sectioning
tool capable of cutting virtually any material
including brittle or ductile metals, compos:
ites, cermets, laminates, plastics, electronic
devices, and biomaterials.

Minimal Sample Deformation

The first step in many material preparation
methods is the initial sectioning of the
sample. During this step, it is important to
avoid using methods or techniques that will
introduce excessive damage to the
material you are cutting. The ISOMET Low
Speed Saw minimizes the amount of
induced sectioning damage through &@s
design and operation.

Using relatively low speeds, (0-300 rpm).
coupled with application specific continu-
ous nim diarnond blades, the ISOMET
achieves an “as cut” surface which is
generally free of damage and distortion.
This means reduced preparation times in
the subsequent preparation steps.

Easy To Use
Proven low deformation sectioning
techniques are incorporated in the
ISOMET Saw design. These techniques
include gravity specimen feed, dead weight
load application, and drag feed tubrication.
Cutting loads can be applied to the holding
arm in increments of 25 grams and the
sample weight can be tared through the
use of a counter balance. Intermediate
weight adjustments can be achieved by
sliding the counter weight at the rear of the
arm. This design allows reproducible
cutting parameters, trom sample to sample.
At the completion of the cut, the ISOMET
will automatically tum itself off,

Precise and Versatile

The sample hokding arm incorporates a
precise micrometer adjustment for
alignment of your specimen prior to
sectioning. A wide range of arms and
chucks is available, allowing the ISOMET
to accommodate any sample configuration.
The standard lubricant tray can easily be
removed for cleaning without prior removal
of the wafenng blade A maximum
diameter blade of 5” (12.7cm) can be fitted
on the saw when sectioning requirements
dictate a greater depth of cut.

and one bottle of ISOCUT® Fluid.

The ISOMET Low Speed Saw can be
used in virtually any metallurgical, geologi-
Cal, biomedical, industrial, and electronic
applications where minenal sample
deformation is required.
