ותלוי המגרדות. בבתי מרחצאות תולין מגרדות של מתכות והנכנסים שם כל אחד לוקח מגרדת ומתגרד בה רגליו:
וגולמי כלי מתכות. כלים שצריך לשוף לגרד ולהקיש בקורנס, או שמחוסר אוגן, או אוזן, אינם טמאים לדברי חכמים עד שתגמר מלאכתן:
וטבלא שנחלקה לשנים. טבלא של חרס שיש בה לבזבזים ונעשית שתי חתיכות שוות. שאין אחת מהן גדולה מחברתה. בהא פליגי רבן גמליאל וחכמים. והלכה כחכמים:

כלים פרק י"ב משנה ז׳
Bartenura
דינר שנפסל – that the kingdom defiled it or the country, or that it was lacking [its appropriate weight].
והתקינו – that he pierced it in order that he could suspend it on the neck or his son or his daughter.
סלע – four Denarim.
והתקינה להיות שוקל בה – silver or gold. For these are a thing that is joined/affixed as for example meat and/or wine, for behold it is taught in a Baraita in the Chapter “He who sells a boat” (Tractate Bava Batra, Chapter 5) [folio 89b]: “They don’t make weights of metal to weigh on them a thing that is attached/affixed.”
עד שני דינרים – which is one Shekel. And it is one-half of a Selah.
פחות מכאן יקוץ – so that people will not be deceived with it that they will think that it is a Shekel. And similarly, if it is more than a Shekel, it should also be cut up so that they don’t error with it and purchase it for a Selah.
דינר שנפסל. שפסלתו מלכות או מדינה, או שנחסר:
והתקינו. שנקבו כדי שיתלנו בצואר בנו או בצואר בתו:
סלע. ד׳ דינרים:
והתקינה להיות שוקל בה. כסף או זהב. דאילו דבר הנדבק כגון בשר ויין, הא תניא בפרק המוכר את הספינה (בבא בתרא דף פט) שאין עושין משקלות של מתכת לשקול בהן דבר הנדבק:
עד שני דינרים. שהוא שקל אחד. והוא חצי סלע:
פחות מכאן יקוץ. שלא ירמו בה בני אדם שיחשבו שהוא שקל. וכן אם הוא יותר משקל נמי יקוץ שלא יטעו בו ויקחוהו בסלע:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.
