Hi J.D.,

As you probably all ready know, certain oils have chlorides in them and 
are not suitable for cutting meteorites unless you want to cause 
oxidation or remove the chlorides from the piece after cutting (a 
difficult process). They do sell oils without any chlorides in them and 
you have to get spec sheets to find out if the oil you are using has any 
in it. Best!

 From my experience you typically need an oil based cutting coolant to 
keep it from binding up.
