Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify some of the determinants of saw-blade design that influence bone-cutting performance. Using a reproducible experimental model, saw-blade performance was judged by measuring the blade temperature and the rate of bone removal. The results of this study demonstrated that the rake angle and blade swing radius had significant influence on saw-blade performance.
