Wafering Blades\nPrecision Cutting-Diamond Bonded
Bonded blades are composed of an inner metal core and\nan outer rim. The rim consists of either metal or resin mixed\nwith abrasive, cured under high temperature and pressure\nto bond the matrix together. Metal bonding offers long life\nand durability, while resin bonding creates less heat and\nprovides better surface finish.\nDiamond, Metal Bond\nHigh Concentration (HC)\nRecommended for general laboratory sectioning,\nexcluding ferrous alloys. Most commonly used at\nhigher (<1,000 RPM) speeds.\nLow Concentration (LC)\nRecommended for sectioning very hard or brittle\nmaterials such as ceramics, silicon, glass and\nrefractories where chipping and pullout need to be\nminimized. Most commonly used at lower (<1,000\nRPM) speeds.

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

Cold Mounting Acrylics
Overview
Cold mounting is recommended when encapsulating samples that cannot withstand the heat and pressure of compression\nmounting, when better flow and penetration of the mounting resin is needed, or when a large quantity of samples must be\nencapsulated 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\nflow and penetration.
Acrylics: Typically used for their\nrapid cure times, or when large\nvolume sample throughput is\nneeded.

1200 Fine Grit vs. 1200 (P4000) Grit\n1200 Fine Grit
1200 (P4000) Grit
• 1200 fine grit is electrostatically coated where the SiC
particles stand on end, providing more of a cutting action\nfor continued material removal. It is recommended for\nsofter materials that smear, step grinding for failure\nanalysis, and serial sectioning.
• Rougher Finish\n• Higher Removal
• Smoother Finish\n• Lower Removal
• 1200 (P4000) grit is sputter coated, which randomizes\nthe orientation of the SiC particles, providing more of a\npolishing action and does not remove as much material\nas 1200 fine grit. It can be used for a wide variety of\napplications.

Diamond Suspension/Slurry
Overview
Diamond is preferred for most polishing applications because of its superior\nremoval rate and resulting surface finish, while producing fewer artifacts\n(smearing, scratches, etc.). All products are precision graded by Swiss\nmicronizing standards for high performance.\nPolycrystalline diamond has many more cutting surfaces per particle,\nwhich provides higher removal rates than monocrystalline abrasive. As it\ncuts, it breaks down in its original shape, allowing for finer finishes in less\ntime. Because polycrystalline has no cleavage planes, it cannot splinter\nlike monocrystalline diamond. It causes less subsurface deformation and\nis excellent when polishing samples composed of different materials or\nhardness.
Polycrystalline Diamond
Monocrystalline diamond has a slightly irregular shape with multiple\ncutting edges. It is a lower cost option for less critical applications where\npolycrystalline’s superior removal rate and finish features are not required.
Monocrystalline Diamond
DiaLube
DiaLube is a water soluble blend of polycrystalline diamond\nsuspension and propylene glycol based lubricant. It is excellent for\nquick application of both abrasive and lubricant without the need\nfor precise dripping ratios.\nPolycrystalline\n16 oz. (480 mL)

Non-Woven
Non-woven cloths feature low compression, with surfaces that tend to be softer than woven cloths. A non-woven cloth can\nhave fibers interlaced throughout the surface, but the pattern is random rather than a cross-weave. Non-woven cloths are\nless aggressive, so they are better suited for intermediate and final polishing steps.

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\ncapabilities to many other applications.\nUtilizing conventional sample preparation techniques and methodologies with a different approach, it adds/brings the\npower of a CNC machine to the lab looking for solutions to unique, challenging applications.\nUnlike a CNC, which requires special knowledge of G-code programming, the X-Prep® features a user-friendly operator\ninterface with a workflow function that logically guides the operator through a sequence of setup screens to execution of\nthe process step.\nX-Prep®-prepared samples pictured below are examples of localized/partial area deprocessing that preserves the larger\npiece'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\nextreme heat resistance, durability and high stiffness for superior performance.\nWhen choosing between 2-flute and 4-flute, consider the material being milled, tool feed rate and desired surface finish.\nFor milling low glass content (<50%) PCB/FR4 substrates, PCB end mills feature a durable coating that is optimized to\nmaximize tool life.
2-Flute
Two-flute end mills are recommended for milling non-ferrous alloys\nand softer materials. They feature greater spacing between cutting\npoints allowing better chip removal, and are available in smaller\ndiameters than 4-flute end mills.\nPCB

Bonded Diamond Tools\nMetal Bond Diamond Tools
These tools are for grinding non-metal alloys such as silicon, silicon\ncarbide and mineral-/silica-filled resins in molded electronic devices.\nWhen compared with plated tools, bonded tools produce a finer\nsurface finish and allow grinding closer to end point targets with\nsignificantly less damage.\nBonded tools retain their shape and last longer than plated tools,\nbecause as the bond and diamond section wear, new diamond is\nexposed.
