About

The Flip-Scribe is a manual scribe+break cleaving system, with a diamond tip that scribes along the underside of the part/wafer. The user manually drags the part across the diamond scribe, using the guides and stops to push the part in a controlled, straight line. Manual breaking tools are provided to perform the break after scribing.

Can scribe/break ~350µm thick sapphire wafers. Thicker/more difficult to cleave parts should be thinned down on the Allied Polisher before cleaving.
