I found these blades to be real junk and found absolutely no advantage to using them especially for the higher price. Irons always seem to be best cut with a band saw by an experienced technician. Why cut a Nantan? You are asking for troublethat sucker will likely rust in front of your eyes

Hi Bob, You may have thought of this already but just in case...There may be a lapidary society somewhere near you that could help out in a pinch. My club is not versed in meteorites (yet!) but it and a lot of the members certainly have saws and experience in cutting. If you cannot locate any o
