The XP Diamond Band saw is the newest member of our XP line of cutting and polishing equipment. This lightweight bandsaw is designed for medium precision, efficient cutting of hard and brittle materials. The saw is also rugged enough to cut through materials such as soft metals and polymers while keeping a small footprint on the lab bench Samples can be hand fed into the blade by hand or using the miter jig. The diamond plated, steel core blades are designed for long life under normal conditions. Easy blade access and replacement procedures make occasional saw maintenance extremely simple. Coolant, typically water, is contained in a large reservoir in the base of the saw. Other cutting fluids are not recommended.

The XP Diamond Band Saw ships with one blade that needs to be installed before use.

  • Large cutting table for cutting bulk samples

Dressing Stick

Dressing Sticks for Diamond Blades

The Dressing Stick is used to expose the cutting diamonds, to improve cutting rate and to reduce heating at the cutting edge. Especially useful when cutting softer material where the cut material tends to "clog up" the cutting edge of the blade. Size is 12.5 x 12.5 x 152mm (0.49 x 0.49 x 5.98").
