What your metallography lab actually checks
Gentle, deformation-free cuts
Cutting-force-dependent feed control and the Care-Cut function ease the abrasive wheel into the part, while continuous coolant carries heat away — protecting sensitive samples and delivering a microstructure free of sectioning artefacts.

QATM QCUT 250 A is a compact, flexible semi-automatic wet abrasive cut-off machine with automatic X-axis travel and Care-Cut gentle cutting — deformation-free sectioning of samples up to Ø 95 mm.
Why metallographers choose the QCUT 250 A
Semi-automatic control that eases the wheel into the part for gentle, repeatable cuts.
Semi-automatic with Care-Cut
Automatic X-axis travel with cutting-force-dependent feed control and the Care-Cut function ease the wheel into the part for gentle, deformation-free cuts — all set from a 7″ touch screen.
Ø 95 mm capacity, 254 mm wheel
Cuts up to Ø 95 mm with wheels to 254 mm (10″). Parallel setting of the wheel guard during the cut increases usable cutting capacity, and a 170 mm manual Y-axis covers tall work.
Fine dynamic, precise parallel cuts
The manual cutting movement is regulated through a gear set for a jerk-free, precise cut, held by an electromechanical lever brake. An optional automatic Z-axis (120 mm, 0.1 mm) makes parallel cuts.
Open access & long parts
A sliding front door plus a side door with safety interlock give optimal chamber access. Openings on both sides pass long parts through, and an interchangeable ring protects the arbour from wear.
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 cutting 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 the touch software, feed control 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.
