Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Hard composite wood like machining - benolix?

Ron,
Yeah, benolix or however it's spelled may be just a
manufacturer's name for it. I did have a chance to
machine some glass filled nylon on my carriage rollers
on my plasma machine. NICE stuff to machine and would
also fit the bill. I was hoping to find something
similar to that as well - Probably any of them would
work for what I'm doing. I think I would need
something about 2" thick for top die and 1" thick for
bottom. over 60" in length and 10" or so in width.
Anyone?? Sources??
