The PICO-150 is a precision wafering saw for sectioning delicate specimens ranging from fish bones to microelectronic components. It is an ideal saw for the metallographic laboratory. The PICO-150 has the ability to cut at speeds ranging from 100 to 1500 rpm, with loads ranging from 0 up to 1000 grams. The PICO-150 is very robust and durable precision saw with its cast aluminum alloy and stainless steel construction. The PICO-150 can utilizes diamond wafering blades ranging from 3, 4 and 5-inch diameter (requires additional plastic coolant/lubricant reservoir), up to 6 and 7- inch diameter blades.

Motor feedback The PICO-150 is equipped with a 80 W motor that has a feedback loop for maintaining the cutting velocity, even under higher loads and increased drag. In addition, the circuit board has an overload protection feedback which will stop the motor if the blade becomes jammed or pulls too many amps. Easy to use The PICO-150 is an easy-to-use precision cutter with simple controls. Simply align the sample and start the cut. The variable speed motor can easily be adjusted by quickly turning the knob on the front panel. Following completion of the cut, the motor will stop and activate a audible buzzer. Multi-purpose machine The PICO-150 saw is very versatile precision cutter. It can be used as a standard precision saw or it can be used as a table top saw for cutting larger samples such as printed circuit boards.
