Spacious, versatile, and easy to use, Discotom-100 and Discotom-10 deliver exceptional cutting flexibility, with more cutting options that let you clamp and cut all types of workpieces efficiently, with less effort and minimum deformation.</p><h2>How does Discotom support your Cutting Process?</h2><h3>Fast and accurate</h3>\n<p>Newest cutting technologies, such as intelligent speed adjustment, deliver fast and accurate cuts. Select the hardness of the material to be cut, and the machine automatically sets the correct speed.</p>\n<h3>Exceptional versatility</h3>\n<p>When the wheel is clogged by removed material, it is possible to choose between the automatic Direct Cutting mode which uses a constant feed speed or Impact Cutting . The ExciCut manual cutting mode is used to section harder and larger workpieces. The automatic X-table option allows the user to access MultiCut to cut slices of the same or varying thickness, or cut precisely in specified positions.</p>\n<h3>Time-saving</h3>\n<p>The multifunction knob makes setting cutting process parameters quick and easy. Automatic speed setting saves time and lets the user apply the same wheel for different materials to avoid time-consuming wheel changes. Fast changing between manual and automatic cutting is enabled by the motorized cutting arm locking system, and the icon-based color display gives a complete overview of all the information you need.</p><img src=\"/files/struers-file-aae4c39bc1f4b954ffa35972/discotom100-line-laser-974x1400-px.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><p>Fast and accurate</p><img src=\"/files/struers-file-049a725dd621bc077ccc260f/discotom100-man-cutting-974x1400-px.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><p>Exceptional versatility</p><img src=\"/files/struers-file-098c5e8bbaa773fe098e2f51/discotom100-man-using-knob-974x1400-px.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><p>Time-saving</p><img src=\"/files/struers-file-37d438198a302e3cb65bfecf/discotom100-all-in-one-ny-1024x759-px.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><p>Discotom-100/-10 are versatile automatic and manual cut-off machines, all in one.</p><h2>All-in-one</h2><img src=\"/files/struers-file-52129385f651df28d326a40e/discotom10-largest-cutting-table-1024x759-px.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"><p>Measuring 620 x 270 mm, the Discotom cutting table is almost twice the size of competing machines.

The safety chain catch (interlock and magnetic switch) prevents the cut-off wheel from starting while the hood is open and ensures the operator can&#x27;t open the hood until the cut-off wheel stops spinning. The safety chain switch ensures that two handed operation need to be used for the X-Y table movement when the hood is open.</p><h2>Safety features</h2><h2>Facts</h2><h2>Model types</h2><h2>Discotom is available in two variations, see specifications for details.</h2><p>Struers’ equipment is in conformity with the provisions of the applicable international directives and their appurtenant standards. \nStruers’ products are subject to constant product development.
