Core Sample Cutting: 4-Inch Slab Preparation

The Slabbing Saw 500, specifically designed for geological laboratories, features a groundbreaking semi-automated system for slabbing (1/2-1/2) core drill samples with precision and efficiency. This innovative design ensures perfect cuts, with core samples smoothly guided to the diamond blade at one of three available speeds. Equipped with a steerable fluid recirculating cooling mechanism, the saw significantly enhances safety and cutting performance, even under demanding conditions. Ideal for biscuit slice preparation (1/4-3/4), it includes a millimeter-accurate height regulator, allowing precise positioning of the abrasive blade above geological formations or inner tubes made of aluminum or fiberglass. Its versatility is further enhanced by a dry cutting option paired with an advanced Dust Extraction System, ensuring a clean and safe working environment. With robust construction and user-friendly design, the Slabbing Saw 500 is an essential tool for rock and core laboratories, delivering exceptional accuracy in core drill sample preparation.

More Product Info:

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.
