K20E Enclosed Wet Inspection Saw
If your shop needs clean, repeatable cut samples without making a mess, the K20E is built for the job. This enclosed, heavy-duty cutoff machine uses coolant to keep parts cool and control grit, so it’s a reliable wet inspection saw for daily quality checks and lab-style sample prep.
It’s a smart fit for heat treat facilities that need consistent sections for hardness checks and microstructure review, and it’s also ideal when you need to inspect bearings, or you’re inspecting ball bearings after failure, because the controlled, wet cut helps protect the evidence on the part instead of overheating it. From tough steel to precision components like linear rails, the K20E helps cut with confidence, keep your work area cleaner, and get results you can trust.

If you need clean, repeatable cuts for inspection work, the K20E is built for the job. As a wet inspection saw, it uses a fully enclosed cabinet and flood coolant to keep grit and coolant contained while helping reduce heat and burrs—so your samples stay closer to “as-cut” condition for checking hardness, grain, and defects.
It’s a strong fit for heat treat facilities and busy shops that need controlled, consistent cutting on tough parts every day.
Common K20E applications:
- Cut heat-treat coupons and test pieces for QA checks in heat treat facilities.
- Section bearings for troubleshooting and root-cause work, including inspecting ball bearings after failure.
- Chop and section long stock using the side access ports—great for cutting linear rails and other long, straight parts.
- Cut solid bar and structural shapes when you need a controlled feed and steady clamping (air chain vise + air/oil downfeed)
- Keep mess down in the shop or lab with an enclosed design, internal light, and flood coolant system.
