Our clinic serves approx. 50 surgeons and averages 100-125 patients in all our cast rooms per day. We have six Stryker cast saws that are constantly in use. Yes, while they do occasionally break down (as any piece of machinery will), I will say that this saw has an outstanding performance record with us.

You guys really should be looking into pneumatic saws if you literally use them
every day in the shop. They do last forever where as Stryker saws break down on
me every four months or so. Now I am using my saw 5-6 hours per day...
