The motorized specimen cutter has a replaceable rotary tubular cutting tip and a motor to rotate the cutting tip. Deflection caused by proper cutting force energizes the motor with enough energy to cut a specimen. A manually or automatically actuated ejector pin ejects the sample from the cutting tip.
