Hi Dean,

Diamond bits.
They come in all sizes, use with lots of water...
I might have some around, but you can get them at most gem and jewelery shows
and certainly at Tucson. I may have some around. Try looking at the websites for
Dremel and Fordham tools...

What I'd like to find are some diamond hole drills.
I have some that are up to about 1/2 inch diameter, but they have a rather large kerf. I'd like to core some good looking meteorites to get the 20grams for the labs and not damage the appearance of my meteorites. Bore the hole. Break out the core. Fill the hole with some filler and paint it. Minimal change to the appearance of the
meteorite - ample sample extracted.

Cheers,
Nick

Does anybody know of a good type of drill to drill small holes through chondrites?
