Dear List;
I have cut iron meteorite pieces a little bit, and probably more than a
ton of good old regular rocks like petrified wood and jade.
I have a few select specimens I picked up from Dean Bessey and I sort of
don't have much of a clue on what liquid to use with the saw blade.
Meteorites are L-5-ish's and H-5's or a good mix of what would come
without a name.
Any help on slicing would be appreciated too. I have a little 6 inch
saw with a thin diamond blade. Water soluble oil, just water, or ?
for lubrication and cooling.
Best,
Dave Freeman ( who didn't get to see anyone but Dean at the show).
