Gary and all,
I forgot to add that if you choose to use a table or circular saw, make sure it's an old one that you aren't real concerned about. The cutting dust isn't very good for the bearings. I use an old junker I bought at the flea for 5 bucks.

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Cutting a WindowHola Gary, List;
I have a little masonry saw sort of like a 4" skill saw and it came from Home Depot for $50 included the blade. It would cut stony meteorites as Bill noted, use a wood jawed vice make a rip guide so you cut straight and even, the saw has a water cooling system that attaches to a garden hose, should work fine, I suppose a hack saw might work but a tiny rock trim saw that most rock shops have would do a good job too, just remember to dry correctly to get rid of the water.

You can secure the rock to a piece of lumber or put it in a vise, if using a circular saw. Just be very very careful!

Can a regular table saw be modified for this use? If not, is there anything other than a lap saw that will do a good job?
