That G10 stuff is insanely tough...How do you machine it? I heard it eats up carbide tipped tools within a few inches.

Its not that bad as long as you don't go too thick.

Diamond table saw blade will do it fine. It will chew up teeth on everything else.

Make sure to bed with 4200 on BOTH sides (around the bolts).

If you really wanna make sure you have no core penetration, oversize the holes, fill with epoxy, redrill.
