[meteorite-list] HOW TO CUT UREILITES?

[Ed Deckert]

I think Dean tried the CBN blade already, and it too failed.

If memory serves me correctly, Adam Hupe had come across some blades last 
fall (I think) that did a much better job on ureilites.  Still probably not 
an inexpensive proposition though, but by comparison, a lot cheaper.  And I 
suppose some ureilites can be much tougher than others.
