Provided is a disclosure for a cutting device configured to control a linear speed of a cutting wheel as the cutting wheel gets smaller with use. In one example, the cutting device includes a cutting wheel; an actuator to rotate the cutting wheel; a power source configured to provide power to the actuator for rotating the cutting wheel at an adjustable rotational velocity; and control circuitry configured to adjust the rotational velocity of the cutting wheel to maintain a substantially constant surface speed.

Method and apparatus for maintaining a surface speed of a circular cutting device

A sample preparation saw has a base, a housing, a saw assembly mounted to the base, a dressing assembly, a sample clamping assembly mounted to the base, and a reservoir assembly. The saw assembly includes a blade assembly with a rotating blade. The blade assembly is movable along x-, y- and z-axes by at least two drives. The dressing assembly is operable to dress the rotating blade. The sample clamping assembly includes a rail, a sample mount removably positioned on the rail and a saddle operable to hold a sample. The reservoir assembly is operable to recirculate a rinse fluid sprayed on the rotating blade, and includes a basin having a pump and a series of weirs.
