Thread: Shaping G10 scales

+1 to everything Brad said.
I cut my G10 with a scroll saw , and use about 3 blades per set, which only cost me 2 bucks for a 5 pack. I have tried a coping saw but I am a weakling and had trouble with it, although have done a set and know its possible, also as Brad said he does it all the time.
As for sanding thats the easy part, G10 is really easy to sand, its not brittle , and it goes by pretty quick. I would suggest getting a belt sander too, because it would be soooo much easier for you. ( harbor freight has them for 60 bucks usually and if u get a 20% off coupon even cheaper)
Also once done with the rough sanding and u start to finalize the shape always wet sand it with sandpaper, stops all the dust from gettin in your lungs.

EDIT: Finishing G10 what I do. When wetsanding I go from 120-2k, then micromesh up to 12k , or I will swap it out and do 120-2k then buff on cotton wheel with plastic polish.
