Description
In the production of geological thin sections, it is usual for a saw to be used for both cutting the bulk rock to size and for thinning the slide-mounted rock chip prior to final lapping.
When cutting the mounted rock, there are two main considerations: the thinned rock sample should be as thin as possible, in order to reduce the subsequent lapping time, and the cut should be of the highest possible quality, to ensure that sub-surface damage is kept to a minimum.
Both cutting and precise thinning operations are easily accomplished on the GTS1 Thin Section Cut-off and Trim Saw. The GTS1 offers a number of advantages over other saws.
In particular, the variable speed linear drive system and feed rate monitor allow the operator to control the rate at which the samples move through the blade. This avoids many of the problems associated with gravity-fed systems, such as slides shattering if the entire cutting force is exerted on a small part of the sample at the end of the cutting operation.
