Metallurgical Abrasive Saw or Precision Saw or Both?
Precision saws excel in targeting specific areas of metallurgical specimens with a heightened degree of precision. They are known for their suitability under low load and low RPM conditions, making them a preference for delicate materials. Typically found in smaller laboratory settings, precision saws replace abrasive wheels with metal core blades featuring embedded diamonds or cubic boron nitride (CBN) on their perimeters. Blade diameters vary from 3 to 8 inches, and thickness can range from 0.006” to 0.040”. This thin profile proves particularly advantageous when sectioning delicate materials like precious metals, PCBs, ceramics, or glass, though it necessitates careful handling due to fragility.
