CHAPTER 3 - Main Functions & Operation of the Machine
Figure 8. Saw Main Components
3.1.1. Cutting
Head
As the name suggests, the cutting head is the focal area where most of the specimen cutting takes place. Thus,
correct saw blade selection such as size, number of teeth & tooth pitch are all critical factors that determine the
overall performance & quality of the final cuts. In addition, the use of correct saw blade provides minimum burr to
the workpiece while maximizing the safety to the operator during each cutting procedure.
3.1.2. Saw Safety Guard
The primary purpose of the saw safety guard
(
Figure 9
) is to protect the user from the spinning
blade. It also functions as a safety device to protect
the operator from any broken tooth, swarf or high-
velocity particles that might be dislodged by the
cutting process.
