Maybe better to find a TV or big monitor flyback transformer with the =
split ferrite core? I tool one apart a few months ago and to my =
surprise, it came apart easily even the glue let go without damaging the =
cores. If you have spare toroids then by all means try the wet saw. Go =
slow and see what happens. Maybe try some cheep little cores first and =
see what happens? It'll be interesting to read your results tomorrow...

Lots-o-luck!!!

  >wife...LOL!!!

  The wet saw is an excellent idea, but I would actually have to borrow =
Ann's=20
  saw.  She did all the ceramics and the Italian 1 foot square stuff in =
our=20
  home when we built it.  Ann does masonry and original ornamental =
concrete=20
  castings as one of her winter hobbies.

  I had no idea that those saws could cut ferrite and iron powder =
cores...

  You do realize that if the core damages the saw you will be reading an =

  obituary about some unbelievable accident I had... :o)

  J.
