3-10-4 INSERT FOR ROUND SPECIMEN,

V-INSERT AND V-DISTANCE PIECE

To cut round specimens, the insert for round

specimens (fig. 39.A) with defined diameters of 6,

15 and 25 mm (special sizes on request) or the V-

insert (fig. 39.B) can be clamped into the standard

specimen clamp.

• The pin (fig. 39.3), which fits into the lower

clamping jaws (fig. 38.1), positions the insert

precisely. The two springs (fig. 39.4) make it

easy to remove the specimen from the inserts

(fig. 39.1 and 39.2).

• To fasten the V-distance piece (fig. 39.C) on

the fixed jaw (fig. 38.2) of the standard

specimen clamp, the clamping screw (fig. 38.3)

must be unscrewed from the spindle. Pull the

spindle off the clamp.

• After having inserted the V-distance piece,

insert the spindle again as well as the clamping

screw (fig. 38.3).
