Hi Mike and List!
I really liked the HiBall, but it was a little more cash than I was
looking to spend. So, I found a nice deal on a Lortone Rock Rascal 6"
:)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140310374853
Since I never deal in large specimens, this 6" saw will serve my
cutting needs. I also got the optional vise.
Now I am eager to starting cutting open some of these oddball UNWA
stones I have had laying around.
Is there a preferred coolant to use when cutting stony chondrites?
Thanks!
