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.
Proper testing procedures and methodologies must be set up and used to obtain accurate as well as repeatable testing results. This article will discuss several simple procedures which have been used under actual field conditions, verifying their feasibility for testing diamond cut off wheels.
Diamond & CBN Wafering Blade Case Studies This study evaluates the cutting performance of SMART CUT® Diamond & CBN Wafering Blades compared to Conventional Wafering Blades under identical test conditions. The objective was to measure differences in cutting speed, surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and blade durability when processing a range of materials commonly used in metallography, materials research, and precision sectioning.
Diamond wafering blades are designed for sectioning a large variety of materials and sample types. In order to identify the best diamond wafering blade for your specific material/application, we have implemented a grading system that spans diamond mesh/particle sizes from 5 (the finest) to 30 (the coarsest). This scale helps users select the appropriate blade for their specific sectioning requirements. A blade designated as number 10, for instance, will feature larger diamond particles than one rated at No. 5; however, the increase in particle size is not directly proportional, meaning they are not simply twice as large. Furthermore, we have provided cross-references to Buehler, Struers, and Leco part numbers, allowing you to easily find the equivalent diamond or CBN wafering blade for your needs.
All you need to know about wafering blades (understanding variables & specifications) This guide is designed to help you navigate the various variables and possibilities associated with diamond wafering blades, crucial for precision sectioning and sample preparation. By gaining a deeper understanding of these variables and principles, you will be better equipped to identify which factors are most relevant to your specific metallography or sample preparation needs. This knowledge will enable you to make informed decisions about blade selection, ensuring optimal results and efficiency in your cutting operations.
