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.

Sort of swings and roundabouts. Soft metal, low strength for the cutting but
if high strength wire will not take abrasive without spot welding or
similar, then no cutting at all.
