Subject: G10 dust!

Hi Listies,

I had the opportunity to mill some more PCB material this last weekend.
Phenolic and G10 Gass Epoxy. Boy does the G10 make nasty dust! John,
how can you stand it! I had been cutting up scrap phenolic for testing,
but ran out.

And I think I just discovered something, if phenolic board is OK for the
circuits you want to do, the cutters PROBABLY won't get DULL nearly as
fast! And it's a lot cleaner. I LOVE G10 and FR4, but maybe I'll try
to find some more phenolic board (single sided is fine)!
