can some one tell me where i can buy a piece of grapite. want to try to make a bridge.

I believe Stewart-MAcDonald sells it. A 1/4" square piece will make a saddle. Get carbide tips for your Dremel; work slow or you'll melt the material.

Holy graphite dust! Melting is nowhere near the problem that kicking up carbon microfibers in the dust is! you don't want to breath that stuff. LMII, Stew-Mac, etc., all cut the stuff, to the extent that they cut it at all, with a wetsaw. The wetsaw operators wear respirators as well.
