[IRCA] Semi OT: Cutting Ferrite Bars?

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the work that Gary DeBock, Guy Atkins and I are doing with mods to 
the E100, I've run up against the need to reduce the length of the 
stock ferrite bar by half.

Has anybody ever done this successfully??? Have you ever heard rumors 
of someone doing this successfully?  HOW????

I seem to remember that Ferrite is actually a ceramic product. Is 
this true?  If so, I just happen to have a professional tile cutters 
say, water-cooled, with a diamond blade.  Ideas, comments? Prayers 
for the intrepid?

Thanks,
