It’s actually raw G10. The stuff you normally see as knife scales? Only much thicker. Raw meaning no attempt to color it was made when it was produced. We’re used to seeing black, even a few colors these days… recently even some knife scales in the jewel hued light green of it’s raw state. It’s a high pressure laminate fiberglass/epoxy material that is extremely dense and stable.
I’ve got a few 12” rounds that are over 2” thick, they’re heavy! lol
I’ve had it for 20+ years, it was actually a 16” square sheet 13/16” thick with a hole in the center and drilled/tapped holes for mounting the machine that does the surgical procedure of knee replacements. I cut out a square on my table saw, then used an end mill bit in my table top drill press to get an L bracket shape. Sanded it to profile on my belt sander, finished sanding by hand.
Life got in the way. Been a busy couple weeks bouncing around from shop to shop trying to get a new job up and running then my boiler decided to take a crap on me last week. I have the V2 programmed save for a couple minor tweaks. I hope to get something cut out this week to send down to Texas for some Dale testing and approval.
Now you just need to find room on it for a quick detach swivel and 2nd tripod fitting to replace the one you are using for the handle! (mostly kidding)
