Hi Bob ...

most of the stuff is cut with a band saw ( look at the edges when you
get it ) 

BUT....

i cut G-10 with a table saw equiped with a 80 tooth tungsten carbide
blade

BE SURE TO ...  wear a respirator & safety glasses , and ventilate
well...

the glass fibers are nasty and it stinks too  ;)
