Hello,
Does anyone can give me an idea of cutting cost using a wire saw to cut a 300g
ordinary chondrite into 3mm slices?
Thanks!
Andre

We charge 50-60/hr usually, and that includes the $1500.00 for the 1 km of
wire. Our Diamond Wire Tech saw cuts pretty fast compared to the Well saw. It
is difficult to give you an exact cost since each meteorite is different. I
would estimate 1-2 hrs per slice and that takes into account the
Aloha Andre,
Depending on the cost of the material, it may or may not be more cost effective
to use a wire saw. A wire saw is better for planetaries or other expensive or
rare meteorites, where cost of material is high, and so minimizing cut loss is
imperative. If the material is cheap, then

Hi List
I like to pay Your attention that diamnond wire saw is not best method for
irons. Much better idea how to cut irons (exclude pallasites) is EDM -

Hi List,
Can someone tell me what the advantage of a diamond wire saw is, over
a conventional lap saw blade? I'm curious, because I have never used
a wire saw

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the explanation. Do you have a photo of the wire-saw
setup, or is there a photo of one somewhere on the web? I'm curious
to see what it looks like.

Hi Matt,
That is one impressive piece of machinery. At $65k, I think I'll wait
until Christmas-time to ask for one. :)
Best regards,

It seems the other half of the equation is being overlooked. Do not forget
about
polishing which is even more important than the cut as far as future
preservation and appearance are concerned.
It seems a lot of material being offered these days has no polish at all. Even
worse is that some
Hi Adam and List,
Good point about sanding and polishing.
I own a 6-inch lap saw, but I do not own a lap polisher. I do all of
my polishing by hand, going through progressive grits from 100/200 to
1500 and then finishing with rouge. It's VERY labor intensive and can
require several hours of
