    Yeeeaaaaa don’t like that. Thankfully I’ve never been on that kind of call, I would not want to be the guy operating that saw

      The last time I saw this in the ER as a medical student I had to teach the fireman how to cut with the diamond dremel correctly. I never really expected my metalworking and blacksmithing hobby to be particularly useful in emergency medicine.

      It did take 3 hours to get the damn thing off because we had to make 2 cuts to get it open.

        Titanium is difficult to cut. Generally diamond blades are used. You can get those for oscillating saws, but a diamond wheel on a small die grinder with a steady hand is what I would want.
