Hi Joe, I've machined G-10 Epoxy (yellow and green). Others have accurately pointed out speeds and cutters. One thing that we would do is use a mister with light water only. The dust from that stuff is really abrasive and the water would help keep it out of the air (and off the other equipment). It's a mess at the end, but at least it's all in one place.
There's also the blue stuff (phenolic, I think), but I only punched that stuff.
