[Histonet] Bone Saw

[Monfils, Paul]

I have also used a 10" craftsman band saw from Sears for about 15 years, and
it is still going strong. I use a fine tooth (14 teeth per inch) metal
cutting blade. The wood cutting blades are too coarse. I use it not only for
cutting bone but also for trimming methyl methacrylate blocks, and for
innumerable other odds and ends that come up in the lab.
