    Default Permali / Panzerholz HELP!

    Help needed! I intend to make a new plinth for my Garrard 301 from Permali which has equal damping properties to Panzerholz but at markedly less cost and a darn site easier to source. I've worked a little bit with Panzerholz when I made some SME tonearm spacers and I remember it being bloody difficult to machine/cut. So, I need some help/tips with respects to cutting/prepping the Permali. Can anyone recommend a decent jigsaw blade? Secondly, can anyone recommend a decent sanding belt? Sorry if these appear a bit childish question but I'm only a novice at this wood working lark!

    The Bosch T144DP (the P suffix denotes precision, important) have always tracked well for me.

    They're a thick blade so tend not to bend, perhaps too coarse but certainly inexpensive enough to try ?

    Hi Andrew,
    I built a plinth using MU25. Like Panzerholz it's resin impregnated and compressed although not as much as Panzerholz. So I'm guessing it's similar to Permali. I used metal jigsaw blades and metal drill bits which worked very well. That sounds a bit silly, of course they are metal but I mean they are designed to cut metal!
