GKM2 3-fold

Product catalog summary

Overview: The GKM-2 Glass Knife Maker is designed to produce consistent and controlled glass knife breaks using a digital readout load indicator. It features a solid, heavy design and can produce knives up to 12mm wide using the 'balanced break' method for optimal sharpness.

Specifications:

Digital readout for load indication.
Micrometer positioners for precise control and repeatable scoring.
Built-in mechanical stops for easy positioning.
Capable of producing knives with cutting angles of 35° to 55°.
Uses commercial size glass ranging from 6 mm to 12 mm.

Procedures: The GKM-2 controls both load and position to achieve consistent breaks. The position is controlled using precision micrometers, while the load is monitored through a digital readout. The 'balanced break' method ensures equal load and glass length on each side of the score for straight breaks.

Features:

Precision machined from a solid block of metal for stability.
Mechanical stops for producing precise 25 mm glass squares.
Locking mechanism for guides, allowing micrometers to be removed after alignment.

Recommendations: The GKM-2 is ideal for users requiring consistent 'slow breaks' and precise knife edges. It is engineered for long-term stability and precision in sample preparation.

Digital readout gives precision load feedback for achieving consistent slow-breaks To achieve consistent, controlled breaks, two aspects of the breaking process must be measurably controlled: position and load. The glass position on the GKM-2 is controlled using precision micrometers. The load is controlled through the constant feedback displayed on the digital readout as the clamping handle and breaking arm are adjusted. The GKM-2 is specifically designed to incorporate the “balanced break” method to produce optimum knife edges. Balanced breaks require equal lengths of glass on each side of...
