The 402V V-Shaped Notch Maker quickly cuts your plastic samples in a safe manner and is easy to use. To use this sample preparation aid, first place the rectangular shaped sample into the sliding table. Next turn the machine power on and set the blade speed. Turn the handle and watch as the table slides your sample under the blade, creating a v-shaped notch. The 402V’s blade is encased in a plastic shell to keep the blade away from your hands and also to catch the sample shavings. You can then measure the depth of the notch with the dial indicator provided on the front of the machine.
