Default Making an abrasive wire saw?

I have some 1.5Kg breaking strain (as it stands) 0.08mm diameter tungsten

How to load the wire with grit/ source of abrasive grit?


My guess is that for an abrasive wire saw, a soft wire like brass
would work better. The grit would imbed in soft wire. Not so much in
tungsten.
