This REALLY needs flesh detection technology

I just saw this documentary on saws, pretty interesting, mostly big commercial stuff.
However, the one that impressed me the most was about 8 inches long and cost about $17,000!
The MPOWER 6300, an oscillating dremel sized saw. It's a surgeons bone cutter. They basically showed it doing its thing, which was gross enough, but then they started showing what used to be used. That was a whole other level of gross!
A shot of whiskey, hold your breath and off she comes! yuk!

You were watching the same show I was. Interesting! I liked that little hand held one that you turned the crank on and the blade would slide back and forth. Wonder how long THAT took.

That should cut Corian pretty easy.

Used to work for a company that provided and worked with other providers of Orthopaedic surgical tools. To this day I wish I had some of the carbide spades, drills, saws and screws/taps that we used in training. Quite a large number of Orthopods I worked with were woodworkers as well, very similar disiplines, very similar working tools and materials.

Funniest moment though was during a cadaver lab one of the physicians I was working with whipped out a pocket hole jig and proceeded to use it to fuse a sacram together.

Whatta deal! I love the copy on the ad:

suitable for both small and large bones.
The line below kind of reminds me of 'It was driven once a week to church by a little old lady'

'Came from a small hospital that recently closed down.'

So it was a small hospital, and they weren't doing that much business to begin with, they hardly used it at all!

If you were the patient, I'm pretty sure it took too long!
