The equipment consists of Sample cutter with safety catch lock. The instrument is equipped with a set of four replaceable blades. Two special grade, Gray cutting pads are provided with the unit. The cutting pads have much longer life than normal black cutting pads.

The Sample Cutter has 4 Nos. of German reversible blades. The blades are reversible in design i.e. If one side gets blunt due to continuous usage, the blades can be turned to the other side. In this way, all the four sides of the blades can be used. Each blade has numbered sides from 1-4 for convenience in changing the blades.

The unit is recommended for yield testing i.e. the determination of weight per unit area. The sample cutter cuts out rapidly and accurately circular specimen of 100 Cm², which is exactly 1 / 100^th of a square meter. The result is grams, multiplied by 100, gives the GSM (Grams per square meter) DIRECTLY.
