10" Circ saw blade for G10/FRP?

[Surveyor]

I am going to build a new companionway hatch and sea hood partially out of G10. To do this I am going to need to rip some lengths of 1-1/4" and 1" G10 bars down to 3/4". I am also making my backing plates out of G10 so the blade I end up with will be used heavily.

To save money by not finding out what works through trial and error I come to you ladies and gentlemen. Can someone recommend a 10" table saw blade that will cut G10 without ruining it or pose a safety hazard?

I have been looking for a carbide grit blade but I am coming up with nothing. I see many continuous diamond masonry blades but all say no to cutting laminate. I would love to find a blade like the ones we use in our grinders (forget the name).

Thanks in advance,

A 60-80 tooth triple chip blade should cut this, with clean edges on the cuts.

Please don't try to do this with a regular blade, it is very dangerous. Tablesaw kickbacks in G-10 are easy to develop, and G-10 doesn't break. Use a quality featherboard, a push stick, and make multiple passes on your cuts. For 1" stock I often make three passes on a cut. Not only is it much safer, but you don't put black burn marks on the edges this way either. I get mine from Eastside Saw, who also care rare items like Carbide Abrasive band saw blades, hack saw blades, jig saw blades, etc. etc.

Thanks Minaret! Eastside hooked me up with a proper carbide grit blade at a good price too. Do not fear, I would never try to cut G10 with a regular blade. Safety first, quality job second!

Excellent. Have fun cutting G-10, I usually suit up and wear a full face to do this. Even with vacuum extraction the dust stream created is quite impressive. But it is an amazing product, I have made some really cool stuff with it using routers and shapers.
