[meteorite-list] Taking a look inside a chondrite meteorite

[Jimski47 at aol.com]

My favorite way of windowing potential meteorites is with a bench grinder.  
Using the side of the wheel will leave a nice flat and smooth surface in 
about a  second. To bad they don't make them to run off a 12 volt automotive 
outlet for  use in the field.
 
Cheers,
Jim K

Hello  Chris,

I use a dremel diamond wheel when I am in the field from my truck  and it
works perfect. Just have to be careful on the amount of  pressure
applied.

You can see me using them in my YouTube  videos....from my website
http://desertsunburn.no-ip.org .  Check them  out if you have time!

Kind Regards,

Jim Wooddell
