Working principle
How precision sectioning works
A rotating cut-off wheel advances into the specimen under flood coolant, keeping heat and deformation low enough to preserve the true section.
- Wheel matched to material
- 4-channel coolant
- Low feed rate protects edges
Product overview
The Q-2 sections specimens using a thin abrasive wheel rotating at high speed. It is intended for routine cutting of metal materials in metallographic laboratories and can also cut non-metallic materials such as plastics and rubber tubing. A cooling device can be fitted to carry away cutting heat and help limit heat-related changes to the specimen during preparation.
