- | * The Trimsaw 2 uses 6 inch diamond blades to make fine cuts in metals, glass, ceramics and PCBs. Specific blades for each material are available and should be changed before cutting new material. A variety of fixtures and guides are available with custom fixtures available for specific jobs (contact Dave Bothman or a Workshop Wizard for custom tooling). Spinning up to 3000 RPM the bottom of the blade is submerged in coolant to lubricate and cool the blade while in the cut. A blade splash guard and plexiglass cover reduce the amount of lubricant thrown by the blade. | + | * The Trimsaw 2 uses 4, 5 or 6 inch diamond blades to make fine cuts in metals, glass, ceramics and PCBs.
