Hello List, Dremmel makes a small diamond cutting wheel. They cost about =
$15 but I bet they would work nice.=20

 A tip for cutting small meteorite slices (Chondrites) with a Dremmel =
tool is to use a thin cutoff wheel and paraffin.

 Take an old candle and cut into it while the wheel is spinning, then =
alternate a little bit of cutting the meteorite and cutting into the =
candle. It works miracles. (you need a nice small vice as well and a =
pad for your arm at the same level so that you can work accurately)

 Tim,

 =20

 Drimmel cutting bits don't tend to cut very well on rock they =
basically 'chip their way through' , but you can cut small =
slices/micro's with some success.

 =20

 Better for cutting is a bench top 'tile cutter' (avalible from shops =
like B&Q and Tool stores) they cost about =A325 and work (Iv'e used one) =
they even have coolant tanks.

 =20

 There is a bit of cutting loss due to the width of the blade, but on a =
cheap weathered NWA or something It's not a problem.

 =20

 Cheers,

 Mark Ford

 I have a few individuals that I would like to cut and I'm wondering if =
there are any blades that will suit Dremell drills as they are small =
pieces or is there anywhere in the UK that does this.

 Thanks

 Tim
