Abstract
A method for cutting a rare earth alloy of the invention using a wire having abrasive grains stuck thereon is disclosed. The method includes the step of cutting the rare earth alloy while supplying a cutting fluid having a predetermined kinematic viscosity between the wire and the rare earth alloy. The method further includes the step of varying the temperature of a supplied amount of fresh cutting fluid in order to control the kinematic viscosity of the cutting fluid.
