A new type of apparatus for cutting 100–200µ sections of bone is described. This apparatus consists of an especially designed bone vise and a mounted circular saw with three directional movement controls. The saw is driven by one D.C. motor and its vertical movement assembly is driven by another. Their speeds can be regulated individually. The bone sections may be made serially at intervals of 0.3 to 0.5 mm. and bones as large as 2 cm. in diameter or longitudinal slabs of larger bones may be sectioned.
