SMART CUT® 6005
Low Speed Saw

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

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.

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.

This depends on material diameter, shape, composition, hardness. Most material samples can be cut in just a few minutes with no material deformation.

Yes, you can use any blade type on this machine as long as it fits into the table slot. Blades with 172 112.7mm inside diameter can be accommodated. Make sure to use the appropriate RPM and coolant that is recommended for that blade spec.

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 any thickness, bond type, diamond size, concentration, etc. You can choose the blade that is best suited for your needs.

Yes, any blade that has an outside diameter from 4″(100mm) to 5″ (125mm) 1/2″(12.7mm) inside diameter will work on this machine regardless of who the original supplier/manufacturer is.
