End of Cut Adjustment
The End of Cut Adjustment knob is located under the hood on the IsoMet
®
1000 housing
(see
Figure 8
).
The End of Cut Adjustment knob sets the total travel of the Sample Arm and stops the
blade when the travel is complete. This End of Cut feature can also be used to cut a
sample to a certain depth.
The arm travel can be set to stop the saw either just before a cut is complete or when a
cut is complete. By setting the End of Cut feature to deactivate the saw just before a cut
is complete reduces the weight on the sample and prevents the possible burring or
cleavage of fragile materials near the end of a cut.
An alternative for minimizing burring and to prevent cleavage of fragile materials is to use
a double saddle chuck.
Note:
The End of Cut feature must be positioned and set to prevent the sample and/or
chuck from riding on the blade flanges after the cut is complete.
