 Hi Matthew  Thanks for the info & link 
 That was a good read from Mike G on cutting. I think I will go with a MK
303 like you have been using .
 Its easy as I can pick one up there in L.V. . Cheers & have a very nice day

Aloha Scott & Fellow Listoids,

This is a topic that comes around periodically and there's a lot of  
very useful information in the list archives.  I would suggest you run  
a Google search; this came up most recently this past June and there  
were some very helpful answers.  The list members not only shared  
their thoughts on the equipment that they use, but gave tips for  
cutting and shared their personal experiences at the saw as well.  The  
discussion was titled "Lessons from the Saw - Cutting Meteorites for  
Newbies and Curious Onlookers".  MikeG posted a lengthy, yet very  
helpful post which can be found here:

As for me, I picked up a .014" kerf MK 303 sintered blade after that  
discussion and have not regretted it one bit.  Now, I cannot provide a  
comparison as this is the only blade I have used so far, however I  
have been very happy with it.  There was another blade suggested by a  
list member that I was considering and after a comparison of the two I  
felt that the MK303 was a better fit for my needs; that too can be  
found in the archives.

I hope this helps.
