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!!!

Mike,

>wife...LOL!!!
The wet saw is an
excellent idea, but I would actually have to borrow Ann's
saw. She
did all the ceramics and the Italian 1 foot square stuff in our
home when
we built it. Ann does masonry and original ornamental concrete
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...
