[meteorite-list] tile saw cut meteorites?

[Bob Evans]

Tom,

My advice is to get a regular lapidary saw the largest size that you can 
afford. If you get a 6 inch you may be kicking yourself for not being able 
to slice up a large stone. After some practice your cuts will be smoother 
and you will have half the cut loss that you would have with a tile 
saw.Getting one with a clamp is a definite plus.
Don't worry about cutting with water. I cut with water all of the time. Its 
alot cleaner than cutting with oil.
Just put the meteorites in a toaster oven for 15 minutes right after you cut 
them. They shouldnt rust.

Good luck
Bob
