Abstract
A method is shown for manufacturing a bone saw blades from a metal blanks by using an electric discharge machining process. Plural stacks of metal blanks are formed and loaded into a jig where the stacks are secured in an angular position. The stacks of metal blanks are subjected to an electric discharge machining process whereby teeth are machined into the peripheral edges of the metal blanks. The positions of the stacks are switched and the electric discharge machining process is repeated.
