Equipment selection FAQ

Before you choose a slicing machine

Should I choose a multi-wire or a single-wire saw?

Choose a multi-wire saw for batches of parallel slices. Choose the SVO-40 for individual cuts, programmed profiles or internal features within its specified work envelope. Confirm the material, blank dimensions and fixture requirements for either process.

What do you need from me for a sample cut?

The material, the workpiece dimensions, the target slice thickness and how many pieces you need per run. A drawing helps when the cut is a profile.

Can one machine cover several materials?

Yes, within its listed workpiece size and slice thickness range. The SOM200 is the usual choice when materials change often. Each product page lists the materials given in that model's specification.
