Lubrication
The IsoMet
®
1000 Precision Saw uses the drag principle of lubrication. The lubricant is
carried to the sample on the edge of the rotating blade.
IsoCut
®
Plus Fluid reduces cutting time and produces superior cuts. IsoCut
®
Plus Fluid
is best for most metals and many non-metals. The use of IsoCut
®
Plus Fluid promotes
effective lubrication enables diamond particles to cut cleanly and minimizes loading of the
blade.

®
1000 lubricant tank with IsoCut
®
Plus Fluid to a level that will
immerse the blade approximately ¼-inch.
•
