Yes, though you'll have to wait until I have tooling for that (a few weeks
if all goes well). Cutting G-10 is hell on tools. We're working with our
tooling supplier on finding a workable solution to do this in production
quantities. Email me at info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and we'll get you sorted out.



The two choices I've used (and seen) that seem to work are:
1) diamond grit
2) standard tool steel, and just resharpen a lot

Either way, it's getting rid of the dust that's important, because it is really, really hard on the machine ways, lead screws, etc.and you'll destroy the precision.

In PC board mfr they use carbide for punches, for instance.
