Thread: Sawing my nortons in half the long way

I use normal Hack saw frame but put in SIC blade. I use this for fragile hones but have already done few CFs, LIs, Belgians and experimental no names. Blade doesn't cost much just remember to have either running water over it or wash it often to get slurry out.

Here is an old post I made with a photo of cutting a pink cotcule with a carbide hacksaw blade. I started with a regular metal blade but gave that up pretty quick. Even with the carbide it was slow going.

The blade which I use is flat and wide about 6/8. It helps to keep the cut straight.

You guys talked me out of it! You guys made me realize that it can be done with a 3 inch hone. And I was doing it and since you fellas are way more experienced than I, I'm taking your word for it. Thanks for all the replies.
