What your metallography lab actually checks

Fine dynamic, deformation-free cuts

Continuous coolant flow and a jerk-free lever feed keep heat and load off larger abrasive cuts. The cutting-depth limiter makes each cut repeatable, so what you examine reflects the material — not the saw.

About this product

QATM QCUT 250 M is a user-friendly manual wet abrasive cut-off machine with fine dynamic lever feed — for deformation-free sectioning of larger samples up to Ø 90 mm before mounting and metallographic examination.

Why metallographers choose the QCUT 250 M

A robust wet abrasive saw with a light, precise manual feel for larger samples.

Fine dynamic manual cut-off

The manual Y-axis cuts precisely and jerk-free via a lever whose length and angle adjust to the operator. A cutting-depth limiter sets the cut so results stay consistent through a shift.

Ø 90 mm capacity, 250 mm wheel

Wet abrasive cutting up to Ø 55 mm solid — or Ø 90 mm on parts up to 25 mm long — with cutting wheels to Ø 250 mm (10″). A 145 mm Y-axis handles taller work.

Long parts, large stainless table

Openings on the left and right pass continuous long material through the chamber. The 350 × 288 mm stainless table with exchangeable wear plates and 12 mm T-slots takes QATM clamping systems.

Safe, well-lit chamber

Standstill monitoring allows opening only when the wheel has stopped, and a door interlock meets current safety standards. A large rounded window and optional flexible LED light keep the cut in clear view.

With every QATM cut-off machine

Configured, installed and supported by a metallography team — not shipped as a bare crate.

Step 01
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.

Step 02
Installed and dialled in

We install the machine, run first cuts on your own material and train the operator on lever feed, depth setting and wheel selection — not a crate left on a pallet.

Step 03
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.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.

What sample sizes can the QCUT 250 M cut?
The QCUT 250 M cuts solid samples up to Ø 55 mm, or up to Ø 90 mm on parts up to 25 mm long, using abrasive cutting wheels to Ø 250 mm (10″). Openings on the left and right of the chamber let you pass continuous long material through, and the 145 mm manual Y-axis handles taller work on the large stainless table.
Is the QCUT 250 M manual or automatic?
The QCUT 250 M is a manual wet abrasive cut-off machine. The Y-axis cutting movement is executed by a lever whose length and angle are adjustable, and a limiter sets the cutting depth — giving a light, precise, jerk-free feel. If you need automatic X-axis travel and touch-screen control, the QCUT 250 A shares a similar capacity class with more automation.
How does the QCUT 250 M avoid thermal damage to my sample?
As a wet abrasive machine, the QCUT 250 M floods the cut zone with coolant to carry heat away, and the fine dynamic lever feed lets you control the cutting rate on sensitive material. Together they deliver deformation-free cuts, so the microstructure you examine reflects the sample and not damage introduced during sectioning.
Which cutting wheels does the QCUT 250 M use?
The QCUT 250 M runs abrasive (corundum) cutting wheels up to Ø 250 mm (10″) on a Ø 32 mm flange. Abrasive wheels are the economical choice for steels and most metals; matching the wheel bond and grit to the material is what keeps the cut clean and low-damage, and our engineers help you select it.
Can the QCUT 250 M cut long parts, tubes and profiles?
Yes. Openings on both the left and right side of the cutting chamber let continuous long material — bar, tube or profile — pass through for sectioning. The 350 × 288 mm stainless table has exchangeable wear plates and 12 mm T-slots that accept the full range of QATM clamping tools and systems for secure, repeatable holding.
What safety features does the QCUT 250 M have?
Integrated standstill monitoring allows the hood to open only when the cutting wheel is no longer rotating, and a door-interlocking system meets current safety standards. A hood covering the complete width gives optimal access, while a large rounded window and optional flexible LED light keep the cut clearly visible.
What is the lead time, and does it include installation and training?
The QCUT 250 M is configured to order — request a current lead time with your quote. Delivery through Additive Plus includes installation, first cuts on your own samples and operator training on the lever feed, depth setting and wheel selection. You also get a metallography engineer for wheel advice and for the next steps: mounting, grinding, polishing and hardness testing.
