Hi Mike and List!

I really liked the HiBall, but it was a little more cash than I was
looking to spend. So, I found a nice deal on a Lortone Rock Rascal 6"
:)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140310374853

Since I never deal in large specimens, this 6" saw will serve my
cutting needs. I also got the optional vise.

Now I am eager to starting cutting open some of these oddball UNWA
stones I have had laying around.

Is there a preferred coolant to use when cutting stony chondrites?

Thanks!

MikeG
