RE: [meteorite-list] Cutting Meteorites

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.   Better for cutting is a bench top ‘tile cutter’ (avalible from shops like B&Q and Tool stores) they cost about �25 and work (Iv’e used one) they even have coolant tanks.   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   -----Original Message----- From: Tim Gingell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 November 2003 20:38 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [meteorite-list] Cutting Meteorites   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
