I agree with the dust particals. CF is nasty to inhale and G10 (Garolite) or fiberglass are not much better.

I can not seem to find economical lexan. Where do you source yours? McMaster is not cheap for Lexan.

And BTW for cutting CF and certain harder composites in the "Fiberglass" family it is best to use carbide tooling and cobalt drills. For some tasks "Cut-off" wheels can also work well.

I've also used "diamond coated" abrasive bits such as might be used for cutting ceramic tile.
