Operation
6.2 Film thickness
First trace a color-lined using a marking pen.
Choose the appropriate cutting tool and create a
V-shaped cut through the coating to the substrate.
The guiding wheels assure a perpendicular cut and
prevent the cutting tool from tilting. For extremely
hard or brittle substrates often multiple cuts are
necessary to determine the optimal indentation
force and drawing speed.
6.2.1 Cut finder
Before lifting mark the wheeled edge on the coating
then turn the byko-cut until the lens is above the cut
and the wheeled edge sits exactly at the marking.
The cut appears under the microscope..
