Never watched *The Sopranos* until well over a decade after the series ended. Some kind of bonesaw -- either electric or a manual one like this -- was doubtless a vital instrument in some of those episodes where a corpse had to be rendered compact for transportation and disposal in small bags. Can't remember if that hapless butcher character in the 2nd season of *Fargo* used such for the gangster body his wife stuck him with or he relied largely on a cleaver.
EDIT: postscript
Quote:In the seven-minute tape, Tubaigy can reportedly be heard leading the brutal dismembering of Khashoggi's body. (Seven Minutes)
I guess when no tools at all are readily available, there's that truly DIY method exhibited in an episode of the *The Americans*. Again, pertaining to when there's a need of compact space required for transportation.

Given my unbridled tendency to categorically conflate medical equipment with butchering equipment, here's a feeble gesture at providing differentiation.
