Anyone ever try it on a woodworking lathe with hand heald tools? We do
it on metal working lathes at work. We toss TONS of scrap laminate

I'm not sure of the chemical composition but I once turned a disc of Pergo
flooring (to use as an inlay in a small table top). Never worked anything
before or since that was faster at dulling a tool!!

When I hear Phenolic, I think of printed circuit boards. That stuff dulls
your tools and stinks. How does the phenolic cut, does it smell, and what
do you make out of it at work.
