Please read this instruction manual carefully and follow all installation, operating and safety guidelines.
For wafer cutting, it is recommended that a cutting fluid be used. The characteristics of a good cutting
fluid include:
•
Removes and suspends the cutting swarf
•
Lubricates the blade and sample
•
Reduces corrosion of the sample, blade, and cutting machine parts
In general, cutting fluids are either water-based or oil-based (Figure 9-9). Water-based cutting fluids
are the most common because they are easier to clean. However, oil-based cutting fluids typically
provide more lubrication.
