Does anyone know a good source for this stuff, at a better price than
McMaster:

I'm looking for 1/4" thick. 3 or 4 inch wide sheets would be nice,
because I could just make my part that size, and save on cuts.

You might try searching for NEMA G10. It's a fairly standardized
glass-epoxy laminate, widely manufactured and used. Probably a
bit better than the polyester from McMaster. It's no fun to machine.
