I have a design where I want some complex curves in a piece of G10. I have cut G10 with a Dremel, bandsaw and handheld jigsaw in the past, and I could do it here (at least the Dremel option maybe by nibbling away and sanding a lot), but there are a lot of curves and some that are fairly tight plus the G10 is fairly thick (3/16") so it would be hard with any of the above tools. So instead I was thinking of using my Harbor Freight Scroll Saw IF I HAD a diamond wire blade. I know they sell diamond wire blades for handheld coping saws and I have seen carbide grit wire blades for scroll saws (I believe they call them sanding or file blades). The later might work but would probably wear down quickly with that thick of G10. Has anyone seen/used diamond wire blades for scroll saws? (BTW, the blades for the HF saw are fairly standard 5" length with pinned or plain ends).
