An adapter apparatus for a cable saw or similar cutting implement includes a hub adapter that may detachably engage a mounting hub of a power tool. A pair of lateral arms extend outward on opposing sides of the hub adapter to a connection interface of the cable saw. The connection interface engages opposing wire ends of the cable saw and provides for a cutting operation in response to an oscillating motion of the power tool.

A cast system, which includes: a padding layer configured to be disposed within a cast and support a portion of a patient's limb; a casting material which hardens around the padding layer and form an outer shell of the cast surrounding the patient's limb; and a wire saw configured to be disposed within the cast and extend along a longitudinal axis of the cast. The wire saw has a cutting surface which is at least partly enclosed by a plastic sheath. By enclosing the wire saw cutting surface in a plastic sheath, the saw does not lock up during the cutting operation, cutting is facilitated, allowing for easy and safe removal of the cast by pulling at least one end of the wire saw so as to cut through the outer shell of the cast.

A rope saw for cutting panels to size includes an elongate frame, which includes a support for placing panels to be sawn thereon. Two wheels are attached to the frame for mounting a revolving saw rope, between which extends a longitudinal direction of the frame. An electric motor is attached to the frame for driving one of the two wheels. The electric motor includes a motor shaft, which extends in longitudinal direction of the frame and which is coupled via a flexible shaft to one of the two wheels.

Embodiments relate generally to methods for extracting a core from a percussion side wall core bullet for a digital tomographic description and direct numerical simulations. A method for extracting a core from a percussion side wall core bullet for a digital tomographic description and direct numerical simulations includes pushing a free end of a wire of a wire saw through the core. The core is positioned within the percussion side wall core bullet. In addition, the method includes attaching the free end to a locking mechanism of the wire saw. Further, the method includes cutting the core from the percussion side wall core bullet. The method also includes removing the core from the percussion side wall core bullet.

The present invention relates to a reciprocating wire saw device. The device is primarily comprised of a body with at least one handle, at least one trigger, at least one battery, and a second end with at least one blade and at least one plunger. The device preferably has two oscillating arms that oscillate independently via the motor. Therefore, each end of a wire blade can be attached to each arm such that oscillation of the arms allow the blade to cut a pipe or other similar object.

An electric power saw/cutter includes a rotatable saw structure, a rear handle with a switch/speed control, a front handle, and a drive unit for rotating the saw structure. The drive unit includes a saw structure drive arrangement to which the saw structure is attachable, a transmission for driving the saw drive arrangement, an electric motor for driving an input shaft of the transmission, and a support structure for holding/carrying the saw structure drive arrangement. The transmission and the electric motor may be characterized in that the front handle and the rear handle are directly connected to each other to form a handle unit, which unit is resiliently connected to the drive unit, so that vibrations from the saw blade and drive unit will be reduced in the handle unit.

A cutting device comprising a drive assembly operably coupled to and powered by a drive means. The drive assembly comprises a worm gear operably coupled to and driven by the drive means, a crank assembly operably coupled to and driven by the worm gear, a timing assembly operably coupled to and driven by the crank assembly, an actuator assembly operably coupled to and driven by the timing assembly and a crank arm operably coupled to the crank assembly and the timing assembly. A drive cable extends from and is operably coupled to the actuator assembly. A flexible cutting means is operably coupled to the drive cable. The drive assembly is configured such that a reciprocating motion is transmitted to the cutting means such that the cutting means is reciprocated for cutting an article.

A cast system, which includes: a padding layer configured to be disposed within a cast and support a portion of a patient's limb; a casting material which hardens around the padding layer and form an outer shell of the cast surrounding the patient's limb; and a wire saw configured to be disposed within the cast and extend along a longitudinal axis of the cast. The wire saw has a cutting surface which is at least partly enclosed by a plastic sheath. By enclosing the wire saw cutting surface in a plastic sheath, the saw does not lock up during the cutting operation, cutting is facilitated, allowing for easy and safe removal of the cast by pulling at least one end of the wire saw so as to cut through the outer shell of the cast.
