Precision sectioning where abrasive wheels are not the right tool

Diamond saws are used for hard, brittle, delicate or thin specimens that cannot tolerate the deformation or material loss associated with conventional abrasive sectioning.

Controlled speed, feed and sample support help laboratories prepare fragile engineering materials for further mounting, grinding, polishing and microscopic examination.
