Tim,

Drimmel cutting bits don't tend to cut very well on rock they basically =
'chip their way through' , but you can cut small slices/micro's with =
some success.
=20
Better for cutting is a bench top 'tile cutter' (avalible from shops =
like B&Q and Tool stores) they cost about =A325 and work (Iv'e used one) =
they even have coolant tanks.
=20
There is a bit of cutting loss due to the width of the blade, but on a =
cheap weathered NWA or something It's not a problem.

Cheers,
Mark Ford

I have a few individuals that I would like to cut and I'm wondering if =
there are any blades that will suit Dremell drills as they are small =
pieces or is there anywhere in the UK that does this.

Thanks
Tim
