Allows samples / material to be sectioned unattended (without operator presence). The gravity weight feed propels sample / material firmly positioned in the vise into the rotating blade. Weight can be adjusted depending on material diameter, hardness, & density. Weight / pressure can be regulated depending on user objectives of preserving true material micro structure, or faster sectioning speed.
The weights shown above available from 6 oz to 16 oz denominations, are attached to the bracket shown also shown above. The machine is placed near edge of the table and the weight pushes the vice assembly holding the sample towards the rotating blade on a rail. As the cut is completed the vice assembly stops. This allows each sample to be cut with exact amount of force (feed rate), without the operator having to supervise the cutting operation. Meanwhile the operator is free to do other work while the cutting continues.

SMART CUT® 4002 has largest work surface area than any other saw in its class. The cutting table measures 6″ x 10″ (114.3mm x 222.25mm). This much larger work area then normally available on low speed saw and provides an excellent solution to manual sectioning of oversize samples.
For this reason SMART CUT® 4002 is well suited for cutting larger and longer sample coupons such as PCB Boards, FR4 composite panels, ceramic substrates, electronic packages, plate material, composites, optical or flat glass pieces, ultra hard material tiles, and other glass, carbon fiber, honeycomb, and many other materials. That are too big to fit into any of the available work holding fixtures/chucks.
Size of working table: 4.50″ x 8.75″ (114.3mm x 222.25mm)
Maximum size of material that can be cut on table:
Length: 3.625″ (92.075mm) Width: 4.25″ (107.95mm) Thickness: 0.180″ to 0.80. (SMART CUT® 4002 can accommodate material thickness more than .180″, but no more than 0.80″.
Maximum cutting thickness: 0.80″ (20.32mm)
Exposure over table: 1.121″ (28.473mm)
Your choice of one (1) quart of SMART CUT® Water Soluble Coolant or Mineral Oil is included with machine. SMART CUT® Water Soluble Coolant Reduces material thermal stress, edge damage, and internal cracking, increases blade life, provides better cut quality, preserves material micro structure
Hence, assuring long-term integrity of material being sectioned. Since SMART CUT coolant is both a coolant and lubricant, both the wafering blade and material benefit. Mix ratio is 1:20 (1 part coolant, 20 parts water) on very hard and dense materials and 1:40 (1 part coolant, 40 parts water) on softer materials. Depending on mix ratio 1 quart will produce 5.7 to 9 gallons of coolant when mixed with water. As a coolant, SMART CUT KOOL reduces heat caused by friction. As a lubricant, SMART CUT KOOL lowers friction and surface tension, which increases swarf dispersion.
one (1) diamond wafering blade any specification is included FREE OF CHARGE with purchase of any machine (any specification). we have almost unlimited number of diamond & CBN wafering blade specifications in stock available for immediate delivery. Available in different sizes, thickness, arbor sizes, diamond concentrations, diamond mesh sizes, and bond hardness’s. With several thousand unique blade specification in stock not listed on our standard stock program. This insures you will receive the best blade specification possible for your specific application.
One (1) dressing stick is included with the purchase of any machine free of charge. The dressing stick we supply is similar to the diamond size of the wafering blade you have chosen (or we recommended) for your application. Wafering Blades must be diamonds particles/crystals exposed properly through frequent dressing. Otherwise, the diamond tool will glaze over. They will begin to tear rather than grind which is very destructive. Tearing caused from unexposed diamonds creates friction. This causes uneven wear and/or heat cracks in the wafering blade and/or material being cut. Resulting in premature blade wear, blade tensioning problems, and will eventually destroy the blade. The more frequently the blade is dressed the freer and cooler it will cut with lot more consistency.
SMART CUT® Precision Diamond Sectioning Saws & Diamond Wafering Blades have been successfully implemented and proven in hundreds of advanced materials and applications. SMART CUT® Precision Manual and Semi-Automatic Saws provide Advanced Material Laboratories and Manufacturing Facilities consistent performance as fully automatic saws, fraction of the cost. With ever increasing budget cuts, many facilities find the use of Precision Sawing/Sectioning Equipment and Consumables cost prohibitive.
Fully automatic Precision Sawing machines usually cost thousands of dollars. Yet, most advanced material facilities very rarely require the functionality of high cost, automatic sectioning saws. SMART CUT® series of Precision Diamond Saws have been designed to provide the material researcher or engineer the same capabilities they would expect from high cost automatic sectioning saws, at fraction of the price.
