INDUSTRIES USED IN:
Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Metals:
Bream Motor system is a feature to stop the Motor and the cutting wheel immediately once the Cutting is stopped metal. This is now standard feature that comes included in standard package (cost of the machine) free of charge
This is an additional Safety Feature that prohibits the operator from opening the Door of the cutting chamber unless the cutting process has stopped. This is one of the most popular add on features and is highly recommended
Yes we work with large variety of material holding fixture manufacturers and also can produce in-house large variety of custom material holding solutions based on your requirements.
You are welcome to send us your material sample; we can cut it per your instructions and provide a video of the process. Depending on the application a small fee may be
assessed for the test cutting which is reimbursable upon purchase of the machine
minimum material thickness machine can cut is 10mm or tube 5mm diameter. This machine is designed for larger metallurgical or ceramics, composite, glass, plastic samples. For very small diameter and fragile samples we have other precision table top cutting machines available for this application
Maximum diameter this machine can hold is 80mm (3.15mm) diameter. The machine also comes with a side port to accommodate longer materials/samples that do not fully fit into the cutting chamber
Cut quality will highly depend on selection of the right blade for your application. Other important variables, listed in order of importance are; selecting the right RPM range for your material, selecting the right coolant, selecting the right vise/sample holding fixture, feed rate, and cutting method. Abrasive cut off blade are available in alumina oxide and silicon carbide and are used for sectioning most ferrous and non ferrous metals. Diamond & CBN cut off blade are also available and will provide much longer life and e best cut quality and the least amount of deformation with the majority of ultra hard and brittle materials, as well as glass and optics applications. Nickel bond blades provide the best quality of cut with soft and gummy materials such as composites, fibers, and soft metals.
This depends on material diameter, shape, composition, hardness. Most material samples can be cut in just a few minutes with no material deformation.
This machine uses a manual lever to push the motor and blade into the material hold together in place by vice or other fixture. The blade comes down on the material and the operator is able to “feel the cut”. Automatic feed for the Z axis is available as on option for this machine
Yes, any blade that has an outside diameter from 8” to 10″, thickness from .032″ (0.8mm) to .080” (2.0mm) and 1.25″ or 32mm inside diameter will work on this machine regardless of who the original supplier/manufacturer is.
Yes, you can use any blade type on this machine as long as it fits into the table slot. Again, blades with an outside diameter from 8” to 10″, thickness from .030″ to .080″, and 1.25” or 32mm inside diameter can be accommodated. Make sure to use the appropriate RPM and coolant that is recommended for that blade spec.
package of 10 abrasive cut off wheels or One (1) diamond/cbn wafering blade is included free of charge with the purchase of any machine. You can select any blade diameter this machine can accept which is between 8 and 10″, any thickness, bond type, diamond size, concentration, etc. You can choose the blade that is best suited for your
Blade cost depends on blade diameter, bond type, and diamond type. Blade cost varies from as low as $20 to $250 depending on the blade diameter bond type, abrasive/diamond type, thickness & specification. Abrasive Cut off wheels cost very little, followed by diamond cut off wheels and CBN cut off wheels. For diamond Resin bond & CBN blades cost more that sintered (metal bond) diamond cut off blades, and Nickel bond cut off blades cost less than all of their counterparts.
Blade life depends on material hardness, density, porosity, abrasiveness, material diameter & geometry, RPM, coolant, feed rate, experience of the operator, & the angle material is introduced into the cutting area. Typically blade life is shorter on hard, very dense materials such as silicon nitride and very abrasive materials such as sandstone.
Most often required spares for most clients: 1. Vise, 2. LED Light, 3. Coolant Jet, 4. Start & Stop Push Button, 5. Door Damper. These and all other spare parts are available in stock
There are two coolant nozzles that provide consistent coolant pressure to the cutting zone. The coolant nozzles position can be adjusted as needed
The distance between blade and motor is 138mm. Allowing for longer parts to be sectioned on this machine.
Yes financing & leasing options are available through a third party to qualified applicants in North America
MGM – Varvel Italy (very popular and widely used motor manufacturer)
When used with our full enclosure cover, the operator and surrounding environment will be safe from any coolant splash or micro material particles exiting the cutting area.
Any type of coolant such as synthetic (water soluble) oil, other oil based coolants, and water can be used with the machine (although not recommended as it has no rust prohibitors). Machine also can be used without coolant
We recommend stopping every hour minutes and let the machine cool down for a few minutes. If the machine is used for very large periods of time without interruption (such as 2+ hours), the motor can burn out and/or other parts of the machine can be adversely
The SMART CUT 6020 is very straight forward and easy to use. No machining knowledge or experience is required, just basic understanding of safety rules and the materials being cut.

SMART CUT® 6020 is comes cabinet/stand with space to accommodate the recirculation tank and tools. You can use without the cabinet/stand, but it comes already included in the price.
Recirculating Coolant Tank fully integrates with SMART CUT® 6020 machine & has a powerful pump for excellent cooling during cutting & is included w mahcine
Machine features 3 adjustable coolant nozzles to make sure sufficient coolant pressure is provided to the cutting zone
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.
