I have both a bandsaw (7 inch delta benchtop) and a scrollsaw(17" delta, 2 speed) I haven't had a chance to try either of them on G10. But I have cut a lot of hardwood on them and have found that the bandsaw is way to fast to do much cutting in anything that is extremely hard (G10 would fall in this category, along with the fact that it is extremely abrasive to blades, full of glass fiber)If your buying it only to cut G10 I would go with a variable speed scrollsaw for a couple of reasons. The first is that a scrollsaw is a lot easier to learn on, and you can get much greater detail in your cuts. The second is the blades are cheap. Less than $10 dollars for a dozen. Even if you use one for every slab you won't go broke at that price, whereas a bandsaw blade is $10-$100 depending on the size and kind you buy. Scrollsaws are slower, and take more time to cut especially in things more than 1/2 an inch thick. Mine will cut up to 2 inches thickness but it takes a while, but it gets the job done. I would get blades with the most teeth per inch you can find, and get the heaviest ones you can find. There will be number on the packeage that tells you the kerf(blade thicknes) get the heavier ones. Also they come in different tooth patterns. The spiral can cut in any direction and make extreme detail amazingly easy, but they are thin and burn up or break easily. Skip tooth would be too coarse for G10 I think, but you might get some to try since they're cheap. I would not get the double cut blades ( they have teeth going both ways on the blade, so they cut on the up and down stroke) These cut faster, but in hard materials they jerk the work peice up away from the saw table and make it hard to control your work. Always run the saw at the slowest speed possible to make blades last longer too.I only run mine on the high speed setting when I'm cutting things like pine.I would reccomend a delta saw too. I've used mine a lot and its still in great shape. I think their fairly inexpensive now too. Hope this helps.
