Description[edit]
The Rock Cutter is a piece of mining and construction equipment that is rarely seen on the battlefield. The Rock Cutter is usually found on IndustrialMechs that are used either for mining and demolition. A few Solaris fighters have tried using Rock Cutters in combat, but the awkward nature of the tool makes it a poor substitute for a Sword or Hatchet.[1]
The Rock Cutter looks something like a Chainsaw, but instead of single teeth for cutting down trees, the Rock Cutter uses a chain equipped with industrial diamond cutting teeth. These teeth allow the Rock Cutter to easily slice into hardened materials. The mechanisms used to spin the chain and the friction built up by the cutting teeth make this one of the few pieces of industrial equipment that builds up heat. The Rock Cutter isn't as accurate as a Mining Drill, but in open pit mines it does a good job of slicing away materials.[1]
