In some cases, precision cutting requires a coarser grit wafering blade. Usually the
coarsest standard blade uses 120 grit abrasive particles. For metallographic
applications, coarse abrasives are mostly associated with electroplated blades (Figure
9-3a). The main characteristic of coarse electroplated blades is that the abrasive has a
much higher or rougher profile. The advantage of this higher profile is that the blade
does not "gum up" when cutting soft materials such as bone, plastics and rubbery
types of materials.
Although less common, thin resin/rubber abrasive blades can used for cutting on
precision wafering saws. For cutting with abrasive blades on precision wafer saws, set
the speed of the saw to at least 1500 rpm. Note that abrasive blades create
significantly more debris which requires changing out of the cutting fluid more
frequently.
Please read this instruction manual carefully and follow all installation, operating and safety guidelines.
