Bakelite question

Has anyone tried cutting bakelite.
Is it safe to cut. I need to replace an old radio part 3mm thick.
Thanks
Rudy

Yes and no, respectively. :grin:

At least that’s what happened with a test cut in scrap from an old Silite cafeteria tray: not much cut, plenty of stink.

Knowing that we’ll be eating from Silite trays in the cafeteria after the Apocalypse, I should’a known better …
