Metkon GEOCUT 302-S: The All-in-One Geological Cutting Machine for Perfect Petrographic Samples


Cut rocks, minerals, ceramics and more with superior precision and efficiency.
The Metkon GEOCUT 302-S is an advanced geological cutting machine designed to meet the demanding needs of petrographic analysis. Whether you're a geologist, material scientist, or researcher, the GEOCUT 302-S provides unmatched versatility and performance for preparing high-quality rock, mineral, ceramic, and glass samples.

Why is Sample Preparation Important in Petrography?
Petrography is the study of rocks and their composition. In order to accurately analyze a rock's mineral content and texture, a thin section must be created. This thin section is a wafer-thin slice of the rock mounted on a glass slide. The quality of the thin section directly affects the quality of the petrographic analysis.

GEOCUT 302-S: The Perfect Solution for Petrographic Sample Preparation
The GEOCUT 302-S excels in petrographic sample preparation due to its:
  • Superior Cutting Ability: The robust 4 kW motor and ability to use large diamond blades (up to Ø300 mm) ensure fast, clean cuts through even the hardest rocks and minerals.
  • Precise Axis Control: The X-Y cross table allows for precise positioning and control during cutting, resulting in minimal sample damage and high-quality thin sections.
  • Versatility for Different Sample Shapes: A variety of clamping systems are available to accommodate both large and irregular shaped samples, ensuring efficient cutting of any petrographic specimen.
  • Durable Design: The GEOCUT 302-S features a rugged alloy base casting for stability and a long machine lifespan.

Additional Benefits of the GEOCUT 302-S:
  • Low Noise and Emissions: For a quieter and more environmentally friendly operation.
  • Easy Sample Handling: Sliding door and side openings provide exceptional access for sample loading and unloading.
  • Water Cooling Compatibility: Connect directly to city water or use a recirculating coolant tank for optimal blade performance and sample protection.
