Hola 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.

Gary,
If you don't mind cut loss you can cut your meteorites with an inexpensive
masonry blade. The blade could be used on a table saw or a circular saw. 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!

Subject: [meteorite-list] Cutting a Window
Hi Listoids,
Can anyone offer me good advice on how to cut a window in a meteorite
without a lapidary saw? 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?
Thanks,
Gary
