TABER 5000 Sample Cutter
Overview
The TABER Model 5000 Sample Cutter is a precision cutting device designed to prepare circular specimens from sheet materials for laboratory testing. The instrument is commonly used to produce consistent samples for abrasion, wear, and materials testing procedures. Its robust mechanical design enables accurate and repeatable cutting of specimens from materials such as plastics, textiles, paper, rubber, and coated surfaces. The cutter supports standardised specimen preparation where uniform sample geometry is required for analytical evaluation.
