    Once the result is cooled, it is cut into the shape of the blades. The finished blade is bolted to a carbon fibre socket that is an intimate fit to each of Pistorius' legs. These are custom made and make up the bulk of the total cost, along with the assessment and setting up of the finished prostheses. Each limb costs between $15–18,000 USD. [8]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dado_set

    A dado set or dado blade is a type of circular saw blade, typically used with a table saw or radial arm saw, which is used to cut dadoes or grooves in woodworking. [1] There are two common kinds of dado sets, stacked dado set and wobble blade. Stacked dado set consists of two circular saw blades fixed on either side of a set of removable chippers.

    There are two types: one has a spiral flute structure, commonly called an easy out after the trademarked name EZ-Out; [clarification needed] the other has a straight flute structure. [ 1 ] Screw extractors are intentionally made of hard , brittle steel , and, if too much torque is applied, can break off inside the screw that is being removed.

  5. Blade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade

    Insufficiently hard blades will be unable to cut a material or will wear away quickly as hardness is related to a material's ability to resist abrasion. However, blades must also be tough enough to resist the dynamic load of impact and as a general rule the harder a blade the less tough (the more brittle) a material. For example, a steel ...

An abrasive saw, also known as a cut-off saw or chop saw, is a circular saw (a kind of power tool) which is typically used to cut hard materials, such as metals, tile, and concrete.

  7. Crosscut saw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosscut_saw

    Common tooth patterns found on crosscut saws. All saws have cutting teeth, some may also have rakers and gullets. As the saw is pulled toward the operator, the cutters score the wood to the left and right of the width of the blade, cutting a channel downward into the wood. Many sawtooth patterns have four cutters;

  8. Ceramic knife - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_knife

    Ceramic knife blades are usually produced through the dry-pressing and firing of powdered zirconia using solid-state sintering. The blades typically score 8.5 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, compared to 4.5 for normal steel and 7.5 to 8 for hardened steel [citation needed] and 10 for diamond. The resultant blade has a hard edge that ...

  9. Prismatic blade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prismatic_blade

    Prismatic blades are flaked from stone cores through pressure flaking or direct percussion. [2] This process results in a very standardized finished tool and waste assemblage. The most famous and most prevalent prismatic blade material is obsidian, as obsidian use was widespread in Mesoamerica, though chert, flint, and chalcedony blades are not ...
