List Members, Here's a classic question: What's the best technique for cutting iron meteorites, including irons with schreibersite, cohenite, and other hard stuff?
I've looked in the list archives, and the best advice I've found was "leave it to the professionals". I've taken that advice (thanks, Jim), and I'll continue to. But I'd also like to see what I can learn first-hand. (Yet another way to spend lots of time and money on meteorites.) What blades are best? I have a 12" slab saw that can accomodate 10" blades. Oil only. Are the "meteorite CBN" blades better than good-quality, traditional diamond blades? I'd like to use 10" blades to minimize kerf/waste, but blade strength might be an issue. Power feed or gravity feed? I like the idea of constant force gravity feed into hard minerals. I'd appreciate any suggestions. --Jamie Stephens IMCA 2828 ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
