The Microtome Design of the knife support pillars is such that they may be reversed to provide greater clearance for large blocks. In their normal position blocks up to 110mm wide may be accommodated but when reversed the block width may be increased to 170mm. Substantial knife clamps provide considerable knife rigidity with the dual facility of both angle tilt and slew, and spacers are available to raise the height of the knife. If required, a single side double clamp knife holder is available as an optional extra.
