Nowdays, binocular microscopes are all the rage with the meteorite crowd, but like I said, any microscope is better than no microscope.
I've never cut my own meteorites, yet, so everything I said about them is second-hand information. I have heard of people using dremel tools to cut small meteorites, but anything bigger than a pebble would require something with more cutting power I would think.
Here's a link to some rocksaws :

This should give a good idea of what is generally used.
