    Easy-to-Machine Garolite LE Sheets and Strips

    Using nothing more than standard high-speed steel tooling, these Garolite LE sheets and strips can be machined into intricate parts. Garolite LE is made of a phenolic resin with a fine-weave linen fabric reinforcement. It is sometimes referred to as industrial laminate, phenolic, and Bakelite.
