Hi Mike and List! I really liked the HiBall, but it was a little more cash than I was looking to spend. So, I found a nice deal on a Lortone Rock Rascal 6" :)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140310374853 Since I never deal in large specimens, this 6" saw will serve my cutting needs. I also got the optional vise. Now I am eager to starting cutting open some of these oddball UNWA stones I have had laying around. Is there a preferred coolant to use when cutting stony chondrites? Thanks!
