QATM QCUT 150 M Precision Cut-off Machine – Ø 40 mm Capacity | Manual Benchtop Sectioning
The QATM QCUT 150 M is a compact manual precision cut-off machine that sections mounted and non-mounted samples up to Ø 40 mm — deformation-free and ready for mounting and microscopy.
- ✔ Ø 40 mm capacity · wheels Ø 75–203 mm (8″) · 150–3000 rpm variable speed
- ✔ Manual force control (0–10 N) + four cooling options for heat-sensitive samples
- ✔ Lead time: configured to order — installation & training included
What your metallography lab actually checks
Deformation-free sectioning
Manually controlled force and infinitely variable 150–3000 rpm keep heat and mechanical load out of the cut. The microstructure you examine is the sample's — not damage introduced by the saw.
A metallography engineer on the line
Questions about wheel choice, cutting force or clamping a tricky geometry? Our engineers run these machines and the whole prep line. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
QATM QCUT 150 M is a compact manual precision cut-off machine for deformation-free sectioning of small, sensitive specimens — the first step before mounting, grinding and metallographic examination.
Why metallographers choose the QCUT 150 M
A compact precision saw built to protect the microstructure you are about to examine.
Deformation-free cutting
Manually set cutting force (0–10 N) and infinitely variable 150–3000 rpm keep heat and load off the specimen, so what you examine is the material — not saw artefacts.
Ø 40 mm cutting capacity
Sections mounted and non-mounted samples up to Ø 40 mm using cut-off wheels from Ø 75–203 mm (8″). The manual Y-axis gives 120 mm of vertical travel.
The right wheel for every material
Infinitely variable speed lets you run diamond, diamond-cup and corundum wheels — match the wheel to steel, carbide, ceramics or additively manufactured alloys.
Precise, safe and tidy
A manual Z-axis with scale feeds the sample up to 25 mm for parallel cuts and defined cup-wheel grinding. LED-lit chamber, soft-close hood and four cooling options.
With every QATM cut-off machine
Configured, installed and supported by a metallography team — not shipped as a bare crate.
Matched to your samples
Tell us the parts you section — alloy, size and how sensitive they are. We spec the cut-off wheel, clamping tools and cooling so the machine arrives configured for your lab.
Installed and dialled in
We install the machine, run first cuts on your own material and train the operator on cutting force, speed and wheel selection — not a crate left on a pallet.
Backed by a metallography engineer
Wheel and parameter advice, consumable reorders and the next steps — mounting, grinding, polishing and hardness — from one partner. Sub-24h response.
