The Dremmel diamond blades are nice, but don't use them on irons or even
H chondrites. They just cannot take the punishment and your $15 or $20
goes up in smoke in a few small slices. (even with lube). Believe that
the #420 cutoff wheels (tungsten carbide with quartz) used with
paraffin work better. Try it yourself. You also get 20 for about $4.00,
good for a lot of cuts, and remember to use that candle. (oh. and eye
protection and a silk scarf over your nose/mouth or one of those cheap
construction dust masks.)

Hello List, Dremmel makes a small diamond cutting wheel. They cost about
$15 but I bet they would work nice.
Thanks, Tom
