The TechCut 4™ is a precision low-speed saw used to section a variety of materials. The TechCut 4™ offers variable blade speed from 0 to 500 RPM and accepts blade diameters from 3 to 6 inches with a ½-inch arbor. The TechCut 4™ uses a micrometer to control arm position with 1-micron resolution.[1]
How it works
The TechCut 4 uses a hinged arm that directs the sample into the blade under gravity. The arm position is adjusted by a micrometer head, allowing precise horizontal positioning. A slider on the arm sets the cut depth. Additional force can be applied by adding weights to the arm. The blade speed is set using the keypad's arrow buttons, which adjust the speed in increments of 10 RPM. A built-in coolant reservoir supplies fluid to the blade during operation. The saw includes a dressing stick attachment to clean the blade of debris.[1]

Frequently asked questions
What blade diameters does the TechCut 4 accept?
The saw accepts blades from 3 to 6 inches in diameter with a 1/2 inch arbor.[1]
What is the maximum blade speed?
The blade speed is variable from 0 to 500 RPM.[1]
How is the horizontal position of the sample adjusted?
The arm position is controlled with a micrometer head that provides a resolution of 1 micron.[1]
What is the purpose of the dressing stick?
The dressing stick attachment is used to clean the blade by removing debris or gummed material.[1]
How is the cut depth controlled?
Cut depth can be controlled using the adjustable slider on the arm.[1]
