Abstract
A circular diamond-charged phosphobronze saw-blade, 0.6 mm. thick, causing little loss of material, is too unsteady for thin section cutting. The blade can be stabilized by mechanically stretching the periphery, the border of a central hole in the blade serving as cutting edge. This principle enables the cutting of four 1x1 cm. sections approx. 0.100 mm. thick per mm. of undecalcified dental tissue,.Keywords
