As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under \"Comments\" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut OnceSince custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring TapeExtend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2\" has a bigger mark than 1/4\" which has a bigger mark than 1/8\". The smallest mark follows at 1/16\". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End HookThe sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
G10 Glass Epoxy is the time-tested material for structural applications where dimensional stability and electrical insulation are non-negotiable. This high-pressure laminate combines a continuous filament glass cloth with a specialized epoxy resin, creating a material that excels where standard thermoplastics fail. Standard G10 (Non-FR) is the cost-effective choice for mechanical spacers, chemical-resistant shims, and high-voltage barriers where UL 94 V-0 flame retardancy is not required. Need flame retardant properties? For applications requiring a UL 94 V-0 rating, we carry G10/FR4 Glass Epoxy (the flame-retardant alternative to G10). G10 is the reliable standard for non-FR glass-base laminates. It is the correct choice if you need: While both materials share the same glass-epoxy construction and mechanical specs, their fire safety certifications differ. G10 is a very hard and abrasive material. It can be machined using standard metalworking equipment, but carbide-tipped or diamond-coated tools are highly recommended to prevent rapid tool wear. Due to the glass-cloth substrate, proper dust collection and PPE are essential during cutting, drilling, and routing to manage glass fibers and dust. Trusted Industry Expertise When you order from Interstate Advanced Materials, you're accessing an expansive nationwide network of material expertise. We source our G10 from premier industrial laminators to ensure our sheets meet or exceed specifications for MIL-I-24768/2 (Type GEE) and NEMA standards for consistency and performance.
