Core Cutting • Slabbing Saw 500 (Semi-Automatic)

A slabbing core saw, or lapidary saw machine, precisely cuts core drill samples with a diamond blade, essential for oil and gas, mining, geotechnical engineering, and petrophysical analysis.

The Slabbing saw 500, meticulously crafted for both wellsite and laboratory applications, introduces a groundbreaking innovation: automated transport of core samples to the diamond blade, complemented by an advanced cooling system utilizing steerable fluid. This safety feature significantly enhances cut precision, particularly crucial during biscuit slice preparation. Notably, the height regulator system allows for precise manual adjustment of the abrasive blade’s position above the inner tube (Aluminium, Fiberglass) with millimetre accuracy. Moreover, the saw offers a dry cutting option, further expanding its versatility. Operators can now effortlessly cut.

What is the maximum length and diameter of core samples that the Slabbing Saw 500 can cut?

The Slabbing Saw 500 can cut core samples up to 1000mm (3.33 feet) in length and 165mm (6.5 inches) in diameter. This capability makes it ideal for handling larger core samples commonly encountered in geological and laboratory settings. The adjustable blade height ensures accurate and efficient cutting of long samples.

Can the Slabbing Saw 500 cut through an aluminum tube?

Yes, it can. This is a standard configuration in the Oil and Gas industry where the core is encapsulated inside an aluminum tube (10mm thickness) known as an inner tube. The Slabbing Saw 500 efficiently cuts through the aluminum tube using appropriate diamond blades and proper lubrication with water.

 

What types of geological formations can be cut with the Slabbing Saw 500?

The Slabbing Saw 500 is versatile and can cut through a variety of geological formations, including hard rocks such as granite, basalt, and quartzite. It is also effective on sedimentary materials like limestone and sandstone, and it can efficiently cut through aluminum tubes. The machine’s diamond blade is designed to handle the hardness and abrasiveness of these materials, ensuring clean and precise cuts.

 

Is the Slabbing Saw 500 capable of both dry and wet cutting?

Yes, the Slabbing Saw 500 is capable of both dry and wet cutting. It features a water system with a valve to control the liquid flow for wet cutting. For dry cutting, the saw can be equipped with a dust extractor to ensure safe and efficient operation. This versatility makes the Slabbing Saw 500 suitable for a wide range of cutting applications and environments.
