Apparatus, system and method for using a diamond-impregnated wire to cut an object

An apparatus for cutting an object, the apparatus comprising:

• a carriage having a first end and a second end wherein the second end is located in a position opposite to the first end;
• a first pulley connected to the carriage wherein the first pulley is adjacent to the second end of the carriage;
• a second pulley connected to the carriage wherein the second pulley is adjacent to the second end of the carriage and further wherein the second pulley is positioned a distance away from the first pulley;
• a diamond-impregnated wire attached to the first pulley and the second pulley wherein the diamond-impregnated wire travels through the first pulley and the second pulley;
• and
• a frame having a first end and a second end located in a position opposite to the first end of the frame wherein the carriage is connected to the frame and further wherein the second end of the frame is located at a distance from the second end of the carriage;
• and
• a shaft connected to the second end of the frame wherein an arm which is substantially perpendicular to the shaft connects the shaft to the carriage and further wherein rotation of the shaft in a first direction pivots the arm to move the carriage from a first position which is substantially parallel relative to the frame to a second position relative to the frame and wherein rotation of the shaft in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction pivots the arm to move the carriage from the second position to the first position wherein the distance from the second end of the frame to the second end of the carriage in the first position is less than the distance from the second end of the frame to the second end of the carriage in the second position.
