Got (30) diamond cutting discs 1" in diameter, with arbors, and (5) diamond burrs 3/8" in diameter, that fit Dremel tools, for only $15 from eBay. I recommend that you wear a mask, where I have an NIOSH rated mask for VOCs. You don't want to inhale the dust.

And dipping the blade in the water helped to keep the cutting edge cool (should last longer too) and reduced the dust to be more like a sludge. I taped leather to the vice grip jaws to hold the piece ... it cut apart in seconds with a clean cut.
