Tom,
My advice is to get a regular lapidary saw the largest size that you can afford. If you get a 6 inch you may be kicking yourself for not being able to slice up a large stone. After some practice your cuts will be smoother and you will have half the cut loss that you would have with a tile saw.Getting one with a clamp is a definite plus.
Don't worry about cutting with water. I cut with water all of the time. Its alot cleaner than cutting with oil.
Just put the meteorites in a toaster oven for 15 minutes right after you cut them. They shouldnt rust.
Good luck
Bob
