Wafering Blades Precision Cutting-Diamond Bonded
Bonded blades are composed of an inner metal core and an outer rim. The rim consists of either metal or resin mixed with abrasive, cured under high temperature and pressure to bond the matrix together. Metal bonding offers long life and durability, while resin bonding creates less heat and provides better surface finish. Diamond, Metal Bond High Concentration (HC) Recommended for general laboratory sectioning, excluding ferrous alloys. Most commonly used at higher (<1,000 RPM) speeds. Low Concentration (LC) Recommended for sectioning very hard or brittle materials such as ceramics, silicon, glass and refractories where chipping and pullout need to be minimized. Most commonly used at lower (<1,000 RPM) speeds.

Sectioning
Cut-Off Blades
Overview
These blades are specially engineered for laboratory sectioning. Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), silicon carbide (SiC), diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN) abrasives are offered in various bond types for sectioning a wide variety of materials. Choosing the right blade for the right material is crucial in reducing thermal and structural deformation. Protective metal arbor inserts are molded into resin bonded blades. Blade arbor holes fit both 32 mm and 1.25" spindle arbors. All blades are precision ground to slightly less than the stated diameter to universally fit all makes and models of cutting machines. Blotters are supplied to shield vibration from the metal flanges and help protect the blade from breaking during use. Resin Bond blades cut cooler with less friction and minimal odor. Rubber Bond blades come thinner and are ideal for environments where durability is desired, although they emit a burned rubber odor. Metal Bond blades provide longer life and durability than resin bond, but result in a coarser surface finish. Blades designated with the letter "P" feature a special textured pattern and those with a letter "R" are fiber reinforced. See page 14 for more information.

Cutting Fluids
Cutting fluid enhances blade performance, extends blade life, and minimizes material deformation by reducing heat during cutting. In addition to their cooling and lubricating functions, these fluids also offer rust inhibition properties that help protect the equipment from corrosion. Use Deli-Cut low speed cutting fluid for gravity-fed saws at full strength. Use Maxi-Cut or LubriCut diluted 2-5% with water for speeds above 1,000 RPM. Lubri-Cut has a low oil content and is easier to clean. Item

Cold Mounting Acrylics
Overview
Cold mounting is recommended when encapsulating samples that cannot withstand the heat and pressure of compression mounting, when better flow and penetration of the mounting resin is needed, or when a large quantity of samples must be encapsulated at once.
QuickCure Acrylic
When cured under pressure (>20 psi), it produces a clear, bubblefree mount. The longer cure time (15–20 min.) allows improved flow and penetration.
Acrylics: Typically used for their rapid cure times, or when large volume sample throughput is needed.

1200 Fine Grit vs. 1200 (P4000) Grit 1200 Fine Grit
1200 (P4000) Grit
• 1200 fine grit is electrostatically coated where the SiC
particles stand on end, providing more of a cutting action for continued material removal. It is recommended for softer materials that smear, step grinding for failure analysis, and serial sectioning.
• Rougher Finish • Higher Removal
• Smoother Finish • Lower Removal
• 1200 (P4000) grit is sputter coated, which randomizes the orientation of the SiC particles, providing more of a polishing action and does not remove as much material as 1200 fine grit. It can be used for a wide variety of applications.

Diamond Suspension/Slurry
Overview
Diamond is preferred for most polishing applications because of its superior removal rate and resulting surface finish, while producing fewer artifacts (smearing, scratches, etc.). All products are precision graded by Swiss micronizing standards for high performance. Polycrystalline diamond has many more cutting surfaces per particle, which provides higher removal rates than monocrystalline abrasive. As it cuts, it breaks down in its original shape, allowing for finer finishes in less time. Because polycrystalline has no cleavage planes, it cannot splinter like monocrystalline diamond. It causes less subsurface deformation and is excellent when polishing samples composed of different materials or hardness.
Polycrystalline Diamond
Monocrystalline diamond has a slightly irregular shape with multiple cutting edges. It is a lower cost option for less critical applications where polycrystalline’s superior removal rate and finish features are not required.

DiaLube
DiaLube is a water soluble blend of polycrystalline diamond suspension and propylene glycol based lubricant. It is excellent for quick application of both abrasive and lubricant without the need for precise dripping ratios. Polycrystalline 16 oz. (480 mL)

Slurry/Solution Dispensing Dispensing non-suspended slurries and solutions is challenging because when they sit, the solids separate from the liquid, creating a non-uniform mixture. The ID-5x™ Fluid Dispenser (page 29) features two (2) high speed pumps, both with magnetic stirring functions, that uniformly mix the solid/liquid to ensure consistency. Note: When mixing powder with distilled water or a lubricant, use a ratio based on the desired viscosity. Magnetic Stirring Effect

X-Prep® Applications
CNC High Precision Sample Preparation
Well established in the semiconductor industry, the X-Prep® is a specialized tool that can expand the sample preparation capabilities to many other applications. Utilizing conventional sample preparation techniques and methodologies with a different approach, it adds/brings the power of a CNC machine to the lab looking for solutions to unique, challenging applications. Unlike a CNC, which requires special knowledge of G-code programming, the X-Prep® features a user-friendly operator interface with a workflow function that logically guides the operator through a sequence of setup screens to execution of the process step. X-Prep®-prepared samples pictured below are examples of localized/partial area deprocessing that preserves the larger piece's complex geometry, and radius machining that addresses linear sectioning limitations.

Carbide End Mills
Overview
Available in a variety of solid carbide end mills with specialized coatings for material-specific applications. They offer extreme heat resistance, durability and high stiffness for superior performance. When choosing between 2-flute and 4-flute, consider the material being milled, tool feed rate and desired surface finish. For milling low glass content (<50%) PCB/FR4 substrates, PCB end mills feature a durable coating that is optimized to maximize tool life.
2-Flute
Two-flute end mills are recommended for milling non-ferrous alloys and softer materials. They feature greater spacing between cutting points allowing better chip removal, and are available in smaller diameters than 4-flute end mills. PCB

Bonded Diamond Tools Metal Bond Diamond Tools
These tools are for grinding non-metal alloys such as silicon, silicon carbide and mineral-/silica-filled resins in molded electronic devices. When compared with plated tools, bonded tools produce a finer surface finish and allow grinding closer to end point targets with significantly less damage. Bonded tools retain their shape and last longer than plated tools, because as the bond and diamond section wear, new diamond is exposed.
