Spectrographic Service Department have been busy repairing a PC60 Metallurgical Cutter, and we are really pleased to receive great feedback about our service engineers. This is what a representative of Hardide Coatings had to say, "My thanks to you all – especially to Sam the Service Engineer who made the necessary repairs to bring it to functionality. The machine seems to be working as required – I did trials on positioning, adjusting rpm & feed rate and everything behaved appropriately and was controllable" If you are after a Service on a Metallurgy Cut off machine, please get in touch with the Spectrographic Team Email:  sales@spectrographic.co.uk Tel: 01274 966173 Website:  www.spectrographic.co.uk  

The MetCut 300 Metallurgical abrasive cutting machine for sectioning of samples such as heat treatment samples. The MetCut 300 metallurgical abrasive cutter uses a 250mm abrasive wheel and can cut samples up to 75mm diameter. The machine can be equipped with a recirculation tank and twin vices to offer a high quality abrasive cutting machine. Going out servicing these machines we see them in all kind of conditions most of them are often clean and reasonable, but you do come across a minority in poor conditions. We often find the clamps seized up and the odd coolant hose snapped from a build-up of dirt in the chamber. This causes the filter in the coolant tank to block and need replacing. At Spectrographic we have all of these items in stock so when we go out on a service parts can be replaced and installed immediately. After the service or repair a full report is sent out detailing what the Spectrographic service enginee...
