[meteorite-list] Saw Blades

[al mitt]

Hi Dave and all,

That is my question too ( do Dia-Laser or Pro Slicer blades work well on 
irons?). When the CBN blades first came out they were much better. I use to 
cut multipal slices of irons. Something happened to the way they were making 
them and your lucky to get through your first slice on the CBN blades now. 
My cutting  process hasn't changed. I've cut for a short period before 
(minute or so) and checked the CBN blade only to find part of the blade 
still has cutting material along the edge while other portions of the blade 
are completely smooth. So in my experience the CBN blades are no good.

So what do people use for cutting iron slices?

Dear List:

Do either the Dia-Laser or Pro Slicer blades work well on irons? I have used 
the CBN blade on irons and they wear out very fast - too fast to be useful. 
I am hesitant about using diamond blades on irons.

Anybody have experience cutting irons?
