Hello,

I think that you would do better to get a quality band
saw with a carbide band saw blade. Set the cutting
speed slow, using a light setting on the blade
pressure, and then pour a lot of coolant on the
surface on cutting.

This type of saw will cut iron meteorites, (any
meteorite, stones included) very well and with a flat
surface resulting.
