I posted here a while back when my glass bed failed. One of the suggestions was to replace with Garolite or G10. My sheet finally arrived and i set about cutting it down to size.
…
Within 4cm, my basically unused jigsaw blade was worn flat, and by the end of the first cut (20cm), there is basically no more teeth.
For the second side, I tried using a multitool cutter, and within a few millimeters it was visibly blunt (plastic and metal tools). Finished it off with a standard wood hand saw, which seemed to go better.
So warning to anyone considering garolite, dont use power tools, it will fuck them up.
Yeah, usually you use a cutter to score where you want the cut and just break it. That always worked for me, though I have never tried anything thicker than 2.5mm. Also, cut in both sides for optimal performance
I milled G10 the other day. Maybe use a router if don’t have access to a mill and don’t wanna have a local shop do it for ya. Wear a mask
