Re: strong composites for belly pan

G10 is incredibly abrasive and will destroy even carbide end mills/router bits in no time flat. You will probably want a diamond coated bit if you intend to do extensive machining to it.

The dust is very very nasty. If you breathe it, imagine essentially ending up with microscopic glass particles deep in your lung tissue. You want an appropriate respirator for sure, if you produce any dust.
