[meteorite-list] Blade saw for iron Meteorite iron ?!

[Michael Gilmer]

Hi Andre,

I tried one of those blades, and I hated it.  A regular diamond blade
is far better.  I cut mostly stones or stony-irons, but I did try it
on a small iron and it didn't seem to cut any better than diamond.  It
cut very poorly on stones.  I wouldn't buy one again.  :)

Best regards,

MikeG
