I have a 10" abrasive wheel that works nicely on a table saw.   It might work on G10?? 

Anymore I rough limbs out on the Rigid oscillating belt with 36 grit and do the final by hand.

I use a 6 tpi x.025 bi-metal blade for cutting out risers, resaw, and cutting out the sight window. I did notice the glass does dull it a lil bit. I have not cut limbs down with it, I was worried about the glass chipping or peeling on the bottom side of the cut. Am I ok to rough out limbs with one. Ive been grinding them down with belt sander and a 36 grit belt.
...stood alone on a montaintop, starin out at a great divide, I could go east, I could go West, it was all up to me to decide, just then I saw a young hawk flyin and my soul began to rise......

You can rough them with the bandsaw but honestly I prefer to use the belt sander with 36 grit like you say you've been doing. I feel like I'm just as accurate with the sander and also saves on the blade some.

Same here but I use an ancient disc sander . Use good dust collection , glass dust is no good!! And check to see you aren't getting the limb hot, the disc doesn't seem to get it as hot as my edge sander...
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I use a carbide Dedicated band saw for cutting anything that's not wood...works great.
