Hey all, 

I have a question regarding working with G-10 material. One of 
the 3/8" thick lexan stationary electrode supports of my RSG 
finally shattered the other day while firing my big coil. I ordered 
some 1/2" thick G-10 material from a local plastic supplier and 
am waiting on it to arrive (they had to order it theirselves) and I 
was wanting to know if I could drill it with the standard titanium 
nitride drill bits ( the gold-colored ones). Also, I have a circular 
saw blade with carbide-tipped teeth and I was wondering if this 
would be suitable for cutting G-10 material, as I know G-10 is 
very tough with its glass fiber base. 

Thank you,
