     What material did you use for the base plates?  G-10?  I'd rather use 
     HDPE if you think it could take the temperatures.  G-10 seems to be 
     rated to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.  If there's a material that's cheaper 
     and easier to machine that can take the heat. . .

    Paul,
           I would caution against HDPE (max continuous is almost 100deg less)
however,you can use other high pressure laminates other than G-10(which
most distributors have very high cutting charges for). nema grades
C,CE,L,LE,the X grades,GPO,or (although less common) vulcanized fibre
(laminated fish paper). in the  thermoplastics polycarbonate has a 275* rating
(aka lexan). nylon 6 cast.
as an aside,i have had very good luck with contacting a local plastic
distributor who cuts G-10 and asked then about "drops". many times there 
will load you with 20lbs of G-10 for a doz. donuts!!!  (or beer on a Friday pm)
