That G10 stuff is some hard and stiff stuff! I was able to cut it with my chop and table saw (albeit slowly) but after drilling a few holes on the drill press the shavings caught fire as they were sucked up by the vac. (It has a nasty smell when you machine that stuff) I had to check the vac to make sure I didn't start a fire in the vac.

It will make a great backing plate though. You can really crank on it with a bolt and it will not rust/warp/corrode or interact with anything. Uuber strong stuff.

I gotta get some more .. Thanks for the tip.
