Additional Equipment Images and Accessories
The K12-14MS is a 14-inch metallographic sectioning saw made in the USA. It is built for shops and labs that prepare metal samples for testing. Quality control departments, heat treat shops, materials analysis labs, and inspection facilities all use this saw to get clean, accurate cuts every day.
The K12-14MS handles mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, tool steel, hardened alloys, castings, and forgings. Whether you need to section a part before or after heat treat, this saw cuts it without damaging the grain structure your lab needs to inspect.
The semi-automatic air/oil power down feed moves the blade at a steady, adjustable rate from 0 to 12 FPM. A built-in 10-gallon flood coolant system with dual nozzles keeps the cut zone cool. Together, they prevent heat distortion so your materials analysis results reflect the true condition of the metal.
Shops use the K12-14MS to prepare samples for hardness testing, sectioning test coupons before and after heat treatment, pulling failure analysis samples from damaged parts, and supporting quality checks on production runs. If your work involves materials analysis of any kind, this saw is the front end of that process.
The K12-14MS features a full steel enclosure with hinged doors, internal LED lighting, and a low-voltage (24V) magnetic switch that prevents accidental restart after a power loss. Optional door safety interlocks (part 710-052) add another layer of protection for your operators.
