Instruction Manual
For the coarse cutting of specimens (e.g. printed circuit boards, thin metal
sheets, mineral samples) it would be advantageous to use the manual
cutting table.
Choose a diamond cut-off wheel with a diameter of at least 100 mm,
e.g. 330CA, 352CA, 551CA. Use only the big flange set, Ø 65 mm.
(Mount as described in sect. 6.3.2).
Turn the cooling tubes against the cut-off wheel.
Mount the 2 screws so that the screw heads are approx. 5 mm above
the bottom position.
Place the cutting table so that the cut-off wheel goes through the cut-
out of the cutting table and the cut-outs fit around the screws.
Push the table to the left so that it makes full contact with the side of the
Accutom and tighten the screws.
Mount the guide rail.
Loosen the screws for the guide rail approx. 5 mm, place them in the cut-
outs of the cutting table and tighten.
The gear ratio between motor and spindle must be in the low range,
Use the protective goggles for protection against splashing of cooling agent
and possible burrs from the cutting.
Adjust the guide rail to obtain the requested cutting width.
Set the cut-off wheel to max. speed and move the specimen into the cut-off
wheel under light pressure.
Do not turn the specimen during the cutting as this might cause damage to
Do not press hard, only a light pressure is necessary. If the cut-off wheel
does not cut satisfactorily it should be dressed (sect. 7.3), or it should be
replaced by a coarser type, possibly 551CA.
IMPORTANT
see sect. 7.3. if necessary.
