Abrasive Saws for Industrial Metallographic Sectioning
MSX Series Sectioning Machines
High-Power Sectioning for Every Sample Size
The LECO MSX Series metallographic sectioning machines, including the benchtop MSX205 and the floor-standing MSX305 and MSX432 models, deliver robust cutting performance across a wide range of sample sizes and materials. With motor powers from 2 HP up to 25 HP and blade diameters from 8″ to 17″, the MSX Series is engineered to handle everything from small electronic components and fasteners to large, hardened alloy parts. Every model in the series is built for precision, safety, and ease of use, ensuring that users can achieve fast, clean cuts while preserving the integrity of their samples for reliable microstructural and failure analysis.
Why Choose the LECO MSX Series
Versatile, High-Power Performance
The MSX Series delivers powerful sectioning across a wide range of sample sizes. The compact MSX205 handles small parts with an 8″ blade and 2 HP motor, while the MSX305 steps up to a 14″ blade and 10 HP motor for medium-to-large samples. For the most demanding applications, the MSX432 offers a 25 HP motor and 17″ blade ideal for large, hardened alloys. From delicate electronics to 6″ steel rods, the MSX Series ensures fast, clean cuts with preserved sample integrity.
Precision Cutting with Minimal Damage
All MSX models are engineered to deliver clean, precise cuts while preserving sample integrity. Automatic versions feature intelligent pulse-feed sectioning with load control to optimize feed rates and prevent overheating or blade binding. Integrated recirculating coolant systems—ranging from 4.2 to 39 gallons—ensure effective cooling across all models, minimizing thermal and mechanical damage. The result is faster prep times and superior microstructural preservation.
Designed for Safety and Ease of Use
The MSX Series prioritizes operator safety and ease of use with fully enclosed, rugged cabinets, interlocking safety lids, and bright LED-lit cutting chambers for clear visibility. An electromechanical brake ensures rapid blade stop after each cut or emergency stop activation, while sealed electronics and durable spindles protect internal components from wear—delivering long-term reliability.
Intuitive Operation with Scalable Automation
The MSX Series combines intuitive controls, ergonomic design, and scalable automation to deliver safe, efficient sectioning for any lab. From manual to fully automatic models, each system supports high-throughput performance with minimal training, while robust construction and turnkey setup ensure long-term value and seamless integration into your workflow.
