מסר הגדול. מגרה גדולה שנוסרים בה קורות:
ויתד של מחרישה. כלי גדול העשוי כסכין שבו עושין חריץ של תלם המענה והנך קפיד עלייהו ומייחד להו מקום דלא חזו למלאכה אחריתי:
כל הכלים ניטלים לצורך ושלא לצורך. ה״ק כל הכלים שמלאכתן להיתר כגון קערות וכוסות ניטלים לצורך גופו ולצורך מקומו של כלי, ושלא לצורך, אפילו שאינו צריך לגופו ולמקומו של כלי אלא לטלטלו מחמה לצל או שלא יגנבוהו הגנבים שרי בכלי שמלאכתו להיתר. וכלי שמלאכתו לאיסור כגון מדוכות ורחיים וכיוצא בהן, לצורך גופו ולצורך מקומו מותר, מחמה לצל או מפני הגנבים אסור:
רבי נחמיה אומר אין ניטלים אלא לצורך. מפרש בגמרא לצורך תשמיש המיוחד לו בלבד, ולא לצורך דבר אחר ואפילו לצורך גופו, כגון סכין לחתוך בו בלבד שרי ולא לסמוך בו את הקערה. ואין הלכה כר׳ נחמיה:

Mishnayos Shabbos Perek 17 Mishnah 5
שבת פרק י"ז משנה ה׳
Bartenura
מעין מלאכה – some kind of work that will be and even if it is not the kind of the first work.
לצוק לתוכן מקפה – thick [porridge] that is similar to started dough that is mixed in water and they do not dispute other than if they were broken on Shabbat, but if they were broken on the Eve of the Sabbath, everyone agrees that they are removed, even if they don’t do a kind of the first kind of work. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
מעין מלאכה. איזו מלאכה שתהיה, ואפילו אינה מעין מלאכתן הראשונה:
לצוק בתוכן מקפה. עבה, דומיא דעיסה מעורבת במים. ולא פליגי אלא בנשברו בשבת, אבל נשברו מע״ש כ״ע מודים דניטלים אפילו אין עושין מעין מלאכתן הראשונה. ואין הלכה כר״י:

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. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

מסר גדול - a large saw that we saw boards.
ויתד של מחרישה – a large utensil made like a knife with which they make a incision of a turn of the plough/furrow’s length and they are strict with him and designated for them a place that is not worthy for any other labor.
כל הכלים ניטלים לצורך ושלא לצורך – this is how it should be understood: All the utensils whose labor is for permitted things such as plates and cups which are removed [on the Sabbath] for the necessity of its own body as well as for the necessity of the place of the utensil, as well as that which is not necessary, even if he doesn’t need the implement nor the place of the utensil, other than to carry it on account of the shade or that thieves should not steal it, it is permitted with a utensil that whose labor is something permitted. But a utensil that is used for some kind of prohibited labor, such as mortars and millstone and similar things for its own necessity and for the needs of its place, it is permitted, but from the sun to the shade or because of thieves, it is prohibited.
רבי נחמיה אומר אין ניטלין אלא לצורך – It is explained in the Talmud (Talmud Shabbat 124b) for the needs of its unique use alone but not for the needs of something else, even for its own needs, such as a knife to cut with alone, it is permitted, and not to support with it the bowl. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Nehemiah.
