Method of Grinding Planer Knives

A Method for Evaluating Glass Knives

In microtomy, faults of the cutting edge are an obvious and avoidable source of artifact. The purpose of this communication is to describe a simple apparatus for viewing and marking the cutting edge of the glass knives which are used in see-tioning for electron microscopy (1, 2). The apparatus consists of a monocular microscope with base, arm, body tube, coarse and fine adjustments, an annular ...

Fundamental Study on Cross Axis Grinding Method

In this study, it is experimentally investigated that the surface generation process in the cross axis grinding method with small diameter grinding wheel. In this grinding method, workpiece surface speed and sum of both wheel working surface speed and wheel feed rate crossed each other. Therefore, it is the largest characteristic that the cross angle, which is defined as the angle between the w...

The sharpening of microtome knives.

The regular production of a satisfactory edge on a microtome knife for the cutting of sections as thin as 2 u, which are free from scores and other blemishes, is a serious technical problem in histological laboratories. Eyen when a good edge is produced on a knife, its life is generally limited because contact with any hard material in the specimen may damage the delicate edge, causing it to sc...

A Comparison of Knives for Bread Slicing

Vertical partitioning is a crucial step in physical database design in row-oriented databases. A number of vertical partitioning algorithms have been proposed over the last three decades for a variety of niche scenarios. In principle, the underlying problem remains the same: decompose a table into one or more vertical partitions. However, it is not clear how good different vertical partitioning...
