• Dual dry/wet cutting versatility — Supports both modes to accommodate a wide range of materials: wet for reduced dust and heat on hard/brittle samples, dry for quick convenience on suitable materials.
• Superior visibility & safety — Fully transparent high-strength top cover allows clear observation of the cutting process, while the unlock mode accommodates oversized or awkwardly shaped samples without compromising safety.
• Flexible & secure clamping — Generous 350×370 mm T-slot table with compatible fixtures enables fast, stable mounting of irregular, small, or thin workpieces—enhancing cut accuracy and repeatability.
• Smooth, adjustable performance — Wide 0–3000 rpm speed range, overload-protected motor with cooling fan, and manual Y-axis feed provide precise operator control and consistent results across diverse sample types.
• Affordable reliability & support — Engineered for long-term durability and backed by G-Hexa’s prompt technical assistance, training resources, and ready availability of compatible Φ180 mm abrasive wheels and accessories—trusted by researchers, educators, and industrial labs across India.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What materials can the GHEXA-CUT-EQP-MAN-006 cut? A: It is optimized for PCB boards, semiconductors, silicon wafers, technical ceramics, quartz glass, optical materials, petrographic/rock samples, and other small hard or brittle specimens up to Φ30 mm diameter or 30×50 mm rectangular cross-section.

Q: Can I use it for both dry and wet cutting? A: Yes—the machine supports both modes. Wet cutting (with coolant) is recommended for most hard/brittle materials to minimize dust, heat, and surface damage; dry cutting is suitable for quick jobs on compatible samples.

Q: How does the “unlock” mode for the top cover work? A: The transparent cover can be set to unlock mode, allowing cutting of samples that protrude beyond the standard platform limits—useful for longer or irregularly shaped workpieces while maintaining visibility and basic splash protection.

Q: Is the machine easy to operate for beginners or students? A: Yes—its manual Y-axis feed, adjustable speed knob, clear top cover, and straightforward T-slot clamping make it user-friendly and ideal for teaching labs, student training, and entry-level quality control tasks.

Q: What type of abrasive wheels should I use? A: Standard Φ180 mm resin- or rubber-bonded cut-off wheels are compatible. Choose SiC-based wheels for non-ferrous, ceramics, and glass; Al₂O₃-based for metals. G-Hexa supplies optimized wheels for your specific materials.

Q: Does it require special installation or power? A: No complex installation is needed—it operates on standard single-phase 220–240 V, 50 Hz power (common in Indian labs). Simply place on a stable bench, connect, and start using. G-Hexa provides setup guidance.

Q: How do I manage coolant when using wet mode? A: Connect a simple recirculating coolant system or use a drip-feed setup (not included). The machine’s design accommodates wet operation effectively; consult G-Hexa for recommended coolant accessories if needed.
