Does anyone know what type of blade/saw to use to cut G-10 board?

If using a hand held jig saw, I use a good quality fine metal blade. Drill holes with a carbide bit. Wear a dust mask, the dust is nasty.

I used a hand held jig saw first and always had curvy cuts. Now I use a broken metal saw blade, hold by hand. I clamp a straight hard wood as guide to the board, that gives me a straight cut.

Table saw/radial arm saw with a carbide blade will work.
I use a jig saw with metal cutting blades.

I use a band saw now, but for the past 4 or 5 years I used a hand held jig saw.

G10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was using a jigsaw with metal cutting blades, but I would wear one out with one 12" cut. The teeth would wear away about 3/4 of the way through and I had wavy lines.
I use an old carbide blade on my table saw now, fast, easy and straight lines. You waste a little more material, but it works well.
(do wear a mask.....that dust is a bitch if it gets in your lungs)

Fiber glass does a number on everything. Old carbide blades are good. Or you can get the thin seven inch cheap carbide blades for a circular saw and not worry about spoiling them, and use it on a table saw. I've seen people use Heavy duty paper cutters (ouch) or a pedal operated metal shear....great way to ruin a good steel blade, but who is to argue with a shop teacher when they've taken all the metal shop classes away in favor of electronics??? and all the equipment looks to be destined for a dumpster in a few years anyway???
