Gang Sawing
Several blades can be installed to the IsoMet
®
1000 for gang sawing.
1. Install the blades with the appropriate spacers.
2. Slide the outer flange, the end cap bushing, and the thumbscrew on to the arbor
shaft.
3. Hand tightened the thumbscrew to secure the blades.
Flanges
CAUTION! Equipment Damage.
Flanges provide support for wafering blades.
Failure to provide adequate flange support can result in curved cuts and
damaged blades.
Always select the maximum flange diameter to correspond with the sample size.
Before re-installing a wafering blade, clean the flanges, end cap bushing, and
thumbscrew. This will help prevent misalignment of the blade and prevent poor quality
cuts.
Blade Dressing
New wafering blades (including the original equipment blade) must be dressed before
making any cuts.
Blade dressing removes built up matrix metal and exposes the abrasive grain to provide
clean, aggressive cutting. New wafering blades should be dressed several times and
older blades should be dressed as required.
Note:
When cutting metal, it may be necessary to dress the blade after each cut.
To dress a wafering blade:
1. Position the dressing stick in the dressing chuck.
•
From the front of the machine, pull the lubricant tank straight out until the blade
makes contact with the back of the tank. The dressing chuck will now be
exposed.
•
Position the dressing stick as needed.
•
Close the lubricant tank.
2. Close the hood.
3. Press the SAW button to activate the saw.
4. Rotate the Dressing Stick Feed Control knob clockwise to feed the dressing stick into
the wafering blade (see
Figure 3
).
