I got this with thoughts it might add weight and a lot of strength to a riser. It's much heavier then pholnic and a lot stiffer. Its half inch thick. Anybody ever see it or use it?

Is that ballistic paneling?
I believe so level 3. Was told this piece should stop a 44
Holy cow!
To answer the question, it should behave like any other resin/fiber plate. Glass, phenolic, etc.
How much of it do you have?
What in the world would you cut it with Glenn?
God bless you, Stve
I only got the piece in the picture
Steve I was going to use a high speed cutoff wheel Or when my buddy goes deer hunting this weekend use his bandsaw, cause I sure ain't going to use mine on it.
Jokes on you. The bandsaw is busted!
Boy that got a quick answer Glenn. LOL
God bless y'all, Steve
That looks like Kevlar,I have used it a couple times,you will absolutely smoke a bandsaw blade in the first 1/4'' inch of cutting. Try a carbide table saw blade but still will be junk when your done.
It isn't Kevlar, but it is a ballistic plate. That company makes them to go inside of walls and podiums and desks and things like that. It's actually woven fiberglass/resin.
Their site says it can be cut with a 7" diamond circular saw blade. For small openings like for electrical outlets and the like they suggest a diamond grit wheel like you cut ceramic tile with.
Level 3 plate like that is tested and can withstand rifle fire from a .308 win., as well as stopping .44 mag as mentioned above.
