I just finished using these to make cuts to some corals in my saltwater aquarium. It worked very well. Some corals are very porous that cut very easily--just let the cutter do everything and apply light movement / pressure. I also had to make very small nips and cuts on the base which is more solid, but these cutters went into them (but slower). I had to use a bone cutter to finish because I could not angle these cutting discs. At the end, these cutting discs made the use of the bone cutters more precise and easy.
I had to rinse (or dip) the cuts every few seconds to wash the fine milky dust off. After I was done with very small cuts, the water was cloudy. As part of cutting, about a 1mm (the width of the cutter) line is disintegrated--I use a razor or scalpel to get a cleaner cut on the flesh of corals, and use these cutters on the stone underneath it.
It is correct that the limited instructions do say to run this on "low" speeds with water or oil. However, my "low" speed on my Black and Decker is 12,000rpm. It seems to work fine.
(It is odd, I just ordered this item, and the price jumped up 30%. Still very inexpensive.)
