Jeremy, Use a dremel tool with a rotary cutting blade. Check YouTube for some videos, I'm sure there must be a few

yea as long as its a wet band saw youll be fine the regular band saws are around 2 or 3 hundred the wet saw's are more expensive u might have to do some searching

Since you also asked this part...yes, you will lose a little of the chalice simply due to the width of the blade you are cutting with.

Those are really not made to get wet, they are primarily for cutting wood and the blade on it is worthless for cutting coral..

Look up inland or speedster, I use the speedster and I love it..

Dremels work, just get a small diamond cutting wheel for it, some people like to dip the coral in a cleanser after the cut but I prefer to cut it and drop it right back in the tank asap... But eitherway works!

man.. drop it on the floor.. problem solved..

 

[tosiek]

Fragging a single eye?!? What is this hobby coming to? Sigh.

Dremel diamond blade is more than enough to cut up chalices. Don't go spending 200+$$ for a tool you will only use once in a blue moon to cut up chalices. You might have to make 2 cuts with the dremel, one on the top and one on the underside and break it. Depends on how thick the chalice is.
