Overview

This rotor with V-cutting edges made of hardmetal tungsten carbide grinds the sample through a gentle cutting action and additionally through an impact/shearing action.

Alternatively a rotor with V-cutting edges and fixed knives made of tools steel is available, which grinds the sample by a simple cutting action. As an extension, the side mill rotor with indexable insert and fixed knives made of hardmetal tungsten carbide, withstands the highest demands and offers the greatest stability of the knives. This rotor is even suitable for the grinding of p.c.b.-scrap with glass fiber residue. The rotor with straight cutting edges and fixed knives made of tool steel grinds the sample gently due to its pure cutting action, it may only be used for easily cut material though and therefore offers a not so effective size reduction as the rotor with V-cutting edges does.

For sample preparation according to RoHS and WEEE (or the evidence of hexavalent chromium) and for the XRF-analysis we recommend our cutting tool sets of chromium free tool steel.
