a problem with them. After all I can cut the hardest
irons with little effort and most condrites  cut like
butter. However, my blade is .060 thick so cut loss
would be greater. >>>

 te he he-- I am skeptical, David--Blade loss would be
greater don't you mean?  Be it remembered that
ureilites are chock full with nano diamonds?  Seems to
me that is a war of attrition with the diamonds. 
While the blade is cutting the Ureilite the Ureilite
is cutting the blade; metal,diamond and, all.

Hello Dave,btw  I'd not had the pleasure of snipping
you until now.  Consider yourself snipped-- welcome to
the clan.
