I am going to build a new companionway hatch and sea hood partially out of G10. To do this I am going to need to rip some lengths of 1-1/4" and 1" G10 bars down to 3/4". I am also making my backing plates out of G10 so the blade I end up with will be used heavily.
To save money by not finding out what works through trial and error I come to you ladies and gentlemen. Can someone recommend a 10" table saw blade that will cut G10 without ruining it or pose a safety hazard?
I have been looking for a carbide grit blade but I am coming up with nothing. I see many continuous diamond masonry blades but all say no to cutting laminate. I would love to find a blade like the ones we use in our grinders (forget the name).
Thanks in advance,
10" Circ saw blade for G10/FRP

Re: 10" Circ saw blade for G10/FRP
I use ordinary 10" carbide blades and destroy 'em in short order. I've since learned to use cutoff wheels in an angle grinder.
Here, I'm cutting McMaster Carr's 1/2" fiberglass rod lengthwise to make fiberglass keelbands for the Flying Dutchman.
