Product Summary
The Tensilsaw, powered by a 20,000 RPM motor, is used to saw straight strips from glass laminates, composites or hard plastics. The thin diamond blade cuts the material for insertion into the Tensilkut template, or for flexural or other tests without heating or burning the strip edges. Strip widths of ¼” to 1” can be accomplished with the Tensilsaw. A Plexiglas guard above the blade acts as a chip shield.

Product Detail
Most materials which are typically cut on the Tensilsaw generate a great deal of dust. Tensilvac is ideal for removal of much of that dust as the material is cut. The Tensilvac system includes a 5 gallon canister, and the slots machined in the control area and table surface, to remove a majority of the dust and chips created during the cutting process. Additionally, the Tensilmist can be installed on the Tensilsaw where a mist of water or oil would be advantageous in cutting strips. Tensilvac and Tensilmist must be ordered with the Tensilsaw for installation during fabrication; retrofitting to an existing machine is done only at extra cost.

The Tensilsaw is used to cut straight strips 3/4" wide from a plaque of fiber reinforced plastic. This will then be used in the Tensilkut master template to cut a tensile bar in accordance with ASTM D638 Type I. It can also be used for flexural or other tests requiring straight strips.
Vacuum system installed on Tensilsaw removes glass laminate dust and plastic chips during machining of specimens. A slot and exhaust port are machined into Tensilsaw control unit and table surface. Tensilmist sprays a fine mist of water or oil when needed to enhance cutting.
