A versatile, programmable precision high speed saw designed to cut a wide variety and size of materials. The TechCut 5™ automatically sections materials at high speeds, increasing sample throughput. The microprocessor-based system controls sample feed rate, distance and force, automatically adjusting the feed rate as the cutting condition changes due to varying thickness and/or material differences in the sample. When sectioning is complete, the table automatically retracts the sample to the home position and stops blade rotation and coolant. Versatility can be found with its unique design that allows use of either a T-slot table or X-axis indexing table with a wide range of fixture options available for each. The saw is now available with either an internal 1¼-gallon (4.7 L) capacity reservoir, or an external 7-gallon (30.1 L) capacity reservoir.
