Product Description
Product features:
It adopts a variable frequency speed regulation motor to achieve a wide range of speed adjustment, which can adapt to the cutting needs of samples with different hardness and help avoid overheating damage to the sample structure. It is equipped with an adjustable manual fixture that can quickly fix samples of different sizes and improve clamping efficiency. The built-in flood cooling system flushes the cutting area in real time to help reduce cutting thermal deformation and surface burn of the sample. The IP54 protection grade adapts to the humid cleaning environment commonly found in laboratories, and the fully enclosed protection structure helps avoid splashing of cutting debris to ensure operational safety. The user-friendly quick-change cutting disc design allows replacement without special tools, reducing maintenance costs and suitable for laboratory scenarios with frequent daily use.

Product specifications:
The whole machine has dimensions of 650mm×550mm×450mm and a net weight of 85kg.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q:What are the key features of a manual precision metallographic cutter?
A:Manual precision metallographic cutters feature: 1) Adjustable cutting speed (100-3000 RPM), 2) Diamond or alumina cutting wheels for precise sectioning, 3) Clamping systems for sample stability, and 4) Coolant systems to prevent thermal damage to specimens.
Q:How does a manual metallographic cutter differ from automated models?
A:Manual cutters require operator control for feed rate and pressure, while automated models offer programmable settings. Manual versions are cost-effective for low-volume labs, but automated systems provide better repeatability for high-throughput metallography.
Q:What materials can be processed with a precision metallographic cutter?
A:Suitable for metals (steel, aluminum, titanium), ceramics, composites, and electronic components. The cutter's wheel selection determines material compatibility - diamond wheels for hard materials (HRC 50+), silicon carbide for softer alloys.
Q:Why is coolant important in metallographic cutting?
A:Coolant: 1) Prevents overheating that alters microstructure, 2) Extends cutting wheel life by reducing friction, 3) Flushes away debris for cleaner cuts. Water-soluble coolants are standard for most applications (5-10% concentration).
Q:What safety precautions are needed when operating manual metallographic cutters?
A:Essential precautions: 1) Always wear ANSI-approved eye protection, 2) Secure workpiece with vise/clamp, 3) Keep hands clear of rotating wheel, 4) Ensure proper coolant flow before cutting, 5) Regularly inspect wheel for cracks/damage.
