Actually I did it on an industrial concrete table saw with a diamond blade. The RPM was fast although I do not know the exact speed, but it wasnt slowly. It was also water cooled.
Hi Anders, Thanks. Yes, I was also thinking surely that it had to be water cooled and lubricated, but I didn't mention this. And yes, agreed, the RPM must be fast, what I meant was that as you cut, you have to advance the blade slowly. These cuts, to do them cleanly, do not seem an easy thing to do.
Yes you are right about that. The 55 pieces of shrapnel are extracted from the sectioned piece of the mine.
OK, thanks, this is what I thought maybe, they look just like the shrapnel in both my SMi35's
I used a neodym magnet with a thrust force of 30 kg. to keep the shrapnel fixed to the mahogany board. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the board and glued the magnet in. You really have to use force in order to pick of one of the shrapnel pieces, they also dont get lost this way.
You are a genius! :congrats: That was a fantastic idea to use one of these newer super strong little magnets. I maybe thought the shrapnel was individually epoxied or super glued together.
Thank you for all the kind words from you all. :top:
