Stan,

Not only do I agree with you on that issue, but aren't those diamonds in 
the carbonaceous chondrites nanometer-sized, or a billionth of a meter 
in size? I don't understand how something so miniscule could affect a 
sawblade. I also thought I heard that it was carbides that caused the 
difficulty in cutting, but I don't remember my source.
