Hello People,
Can anybody give me some hints
on a good way to saw up an iron meteorite?
I spent 2 hours hackin away at a campo del rusto
with little luck. Is a carbide tipped blade the way to go here? I noticed that
it would saw good then hit a hard spot,then saw,then stop when it hit a
spot that just stopped all together. I tested the rockwell hardness and it
came out to less than 20 (that must of been a soft place). I figured 30
minutes per cut...Ha! Any advice would be greatly apprieciated.
Thanks,
Rex
