Just found out, even if it’s quartz, I’ll need diamond bits.

Perhaps you have the Paperstone base? https://www.gpknives.com/wicked-edge-paperstone-base-we022.html
If so I believe you are in luck as carbide bits should work.

Paperstone is just a paper-resin composite, and should machine like Micarta. From https://paperstoneproducts.net/wordpress/installing/
PaperStone® lessens the load because it is easily worked using traditional high-quality carbide-tipped woodworking tools. No special fabrication equipment is necessary as is the case with quartz or granite. And a wide variety of edge profiles can be achieved with a router.

That looks like Paperstone to me.

Well, thanks for all the help with the base. I was confused, as WE was saying that it had to be either aluminum or quartz. I finally emailed a pic of my base and they confirmed it was in fact, paper stone.
Woodworking bits worked perfectly on it with no issues. I’ve include a pic of the cuts on the underside and the lites clipped onto the recesses.

I got similar lights first that were 3W, but found they weren’t bright enough. I also tried some that were adjustable warm, medium and daylight, but again, not quite bright enough. These lights are daylight color temp and plenty bright enough. Once positioned, they really highlight the scratch pattern.
