Very detailed guide to cutting and shaping carbon fibre sheet and carbon fibre parts (like a seat-post). In this guide we dispel some myths surrounding cutting carbon fibre (no it won't kill you) and demonstrate exactly what you can expect when cutting different types of sheet, tube and parts using a range of common workshop tools.

I work an an engineer on carbon fibre aircraft and would like to recommend the cutting tool I prefer to se to work on the aircraft. I use a Fein multimaster oscillating cutting tool with a bonded diamond blade. Cuts beautifully and you can cut very close to finished size. Bonus is it can be used for finishing too.

Thanks! - We can ship to Puerto Rico and for any none-dangerous items shipping is quick and quite reasonable. For dangerous-goods (like resins) it can get a bit complicated and more expensive but most things are possible if there's something you need to source from us. Perma-Grit tools and carbon fibre sheet/tubes etc we can certainly send to you, no problem.

I'm handmaking a guitar with Rick Toone style carbon plates holding the wooden pieces together (mainly because I don't want to spend 15 thousand dollars on a real RT guitar) and this helped me with my game plan a lot...I don't have a proper workshop and most of my hand crafted guitars have been done with hand tools, but I've never worked with carbon fibre before so I was a little concerned going into it. Not anymore though :)

I think it's always a good idea to use skin protection creme to avoid any skin irritation. The dust will come off easier or does it interfere with the cut surface, by which I mean damaging the laminate with chemicals.

Work through the grits with wet and dry paper. Taking care to remove the scratches from the previous paper. Change the water with each move up the grits to ensure no grit from the previous paper contaminates your part. once you have worked upto 1500 grit, you should be able to polish the part by hand with a polishing compound or by machine, to get a final gloss.

I use a bandsaw, oscilating spindle sander, and a tile cutting saw with a diamond blade to cut and shape parts. If you want to use a bandsaw I would recommend calling Lenox blades and have them recommend a blade for your specific application.

Great share, nicely done. Seems I'd want to take the CF dust control to a higher level. The good respirator - I totally agree. But I would seal eye areas because dust gets right into eye fluids. Then, use a shop vac seems bad if CF dust goes through filter and then shot into room's atmosphere. What to do with dust that is collected? Seems to be like nuclear waste, it will always be with us. Dump it out back where it gets into the watershed? I am cautious about this stuff - seems easy to have an incident you won't realize until well down the road when the equivalent of mesothelioma kicks in. There was a lot of loose dust sitting on the foam board after you post-processed the items, to deal with.

An Air fed mask would be ideal if a lot of material is being cut. Such air feeds need to be filtered as a matter of course. Carbon Fibre Dust itself is not a hazardous material - cured carbon fibre is not generally hazardous - it only becomes a particle hazard once airbourne. Disposal for carbon fibre dust and cut cured carbon fibre is generally in non-recyclable waste, although local rules may differ. If you are careful and wear appropriate PPE, then there is no reason to be concerned about any long term health effects.
