Recently, one of our pathologist instructed us to buy a Scroll Saw so that we
would be safer cutting femoral head. (Our current method; using a Large
butchers ban saw tends to throw head at a great speed when you loose your
grip. Ouch!! Not to mention the risk of loosing a digit ) The problem with
the new saw, is that the blades for this saw are very thin 2-3mm and the
sections are jagged, when we replaced the blades with a thicker blade (6-7mm)
we are not able to adjust the tension tight enough to utilize it. Also the
biomed department thinks we will not find a blade that will work. The Saw
was ordered along with a variety of blades that range from metal cutting to
softer material cutting blades. The pathologist swears that a similar saw
was used at Johns Hopkins, where he did his residency. Any help on ways to
utilize this saw would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
