Radial Slabbing Saw

The Radial Slabbing Saw (CT-TS-SLAB) sections large rock specimens and core to a size that the smaller thin section preparation machines can handle. It uses a 400 mm (16 in) diamond-impregnated radial blade mounted over an iron worktable. It belongs to the Coretest thin section group with the cutting saw, high-precision slicing saw, slicing and grinding machines, vacuum embedding unit and bonding jigs.

How it works

The specimen rests on the iron worktable, either free or in the sample holder. The operator controls feed and blade engagement, moving the specimen through the blade to take a slab or to cut a block from a larger piece. Water or oil coolant is used at the blade during cutting. Maximum cutting depth is 125 mm (5 in) and the table accepts core up to 300 mm in length. The saw runs on 220 VAC, 50/60 Hz, and weighs 100 kg.

Sample size, wetted materials, tooling and instrumentation are configured per project.
