    How to machine E/G

    With all the reading here, I still have not found "best practices" machining Epoxy Granite. What is better, a mill or router and what type of tooling? Is carbide sufficient, or is a diamond tool needed?

    thanks

    Probably the same as cutting stone, as EG should be more than 85-90% stone.

    Which means diamond tools flooded with water.

    Just guessing, though.
