Hi everyone,
        
       After encountering problems machining square g-10 sheets into disks (30
min est. table time for all the work, all holes included -at- $60 per 1/2hr.
"table time") I was wondering what I should be looking to pay for precut g-10
disks. So far, I've only found one place that sells 3/8"thick 10"dia. g-10
disks, -at- $40 each, with a 12pc minimum, obviously this looks like the way to
go. Anyone who is interested in this deal or has a better one please E-mail me
personally at Lugnut00-at-aol-dot-com or over the list if you wish. I understand that
these disks are only beneficial in power ranges above 1kw, where the heating of
the rotating eletrodes becomes a problem. I personally have to recommend these
for the higher power levels. Also, anyone who is experienced with drilling
holes through this stuff please let us know how it's done.
