Vince,

If you heatsink your flying electrodes on a medium sized RSG you can use
Garolite CE at $25.00 sq/ft (McMaster-Carr 8491K34). There is probably no
need for the finer grain the LE (linen ) offers over CE(canvas).

Although the G11 really works GREAT if you need the utmost in power handling
capabilities!!!

Regards,
Brian B.

Hello People,

  I'm currently trying to gather information and resources to build an SRSG.
I have noticed that most rotory disks are made of Phenolic LE or G10.
The research I have done so far shows that both of those materials
are pretty pricey. I have found them to run about 105.00 dollars per
sq. foot.
  Do any of you have a more economical solution or resource?
I will not risk safety so if I need to pay those prices I will. I'm just
checking to see if there is an alternative.
