Default where to buy G-10?

tried here...... http://composite-laminates.com/g10-sheets.htm

not feasable to buy here due to minimum quantities....even though it says 1 sheet, when u add it to your cart, it comes in multiples....looking for .031", .063", .094", and some .125".....24 to 35" sheets......anyone know a good source for the thicker sheets...most of the jet places (BVM, DW, FTE) have the smaller thicknesses......

As the guys are pointing out above, find any plastic supply house.. they may not refer to it as G-10, but you can typically find alot of it cheaply.

Reuben

I often use 2mm thickness fo varoius parts. I use the caompany next door for CNC milling and I have my own designs like magic :-) With 2mm G10 you can make a M3 thread directky in the plastic and it works very well!

Hi Henke,
Thanks for your reply....do you know of a European supplier of G-10? Also is it normal to have black G-10 as it looks like carbon fibre sheet? CNC cutting of G10 is another hurdle that has to be overcome in due course!!
Thanks again.

Reuben if your after a relatively small amount say a few 24" square sheets then I might have some which I can ship to you direct as keep a small stock for my parts etc.

PM me if you want to discuss.

The GUND Co. in St Louis deals in G-10 & G-11 as well as phenolic laminates -
Schoen insulations in Canton Georgia deals in G10 & G-11 as well as phenolic laminates -
These two companys will supply & cut any thickness you want, eg....I have had 4" thick G-11 cut by GUND Co. they have a killer water jet set-up.
