- 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.

The fact that these guys are still recording for us such professional videos in 2021 confirms that the safety advices work :)
Thanks!
Appreciate the comment Yury, hopefully many more years of videos are still to come :)
This is the most thorough carbon fiber cutting video on the net.
Literally.
Yes. Still is.
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.
That's an electric tool, how do you do with the dust/explosive atmosphere?
@@tomasescobargallardo6579 I have seen few that use a vacuum cleaner close to the cutting so all fibres dust gets trapped inside the vacuum bag.
Thanks for all the feedback people; it makes us want to keep producing these videos. We have something very exciting in the pipeline now (another big 'project' similar to the bonnet/hood) which I think will really inspire people. Lots of filming and editting to do yet but stay tuned in....
Thank you so much for this video! Spent hours looking at all these other videos without any answers, only to serendipitously click on this video and have all the answers laid out right in front of me. Thank you so much!
Its our pleasure and glad we could be of some help!
This helped a lot! I'm planning on cutting down the carbon fibre sideguards from my current wheelchair to use on my new one when it comes to match my wheel profile. I wanted to make sure I wouldn't ruin them and this video answered all of the questions I had!
Thanks David; it's a great product, you'll get on really well with it. Of course we're all here if you have any questions or problems.
best instructional on the web!! all the answers in one video great job!!
Answered all my questions. Thank you for a well presented clear video
I love the videos you guys put together. By far the most informative, and best production quality.
This is the most informative and helpful video I’ve ever watched. THANK YOU
Such a great detailed visually demonstrated video!! For a kinesthetic and visual learner that I am, this was exactly the information and type of video I was looking for before starting on my carbon fiber project, Thank you so much for the awesome video!!
You're very welcome. I'm glad it's helped you.
Excellent video catering for the hobbyist and low output workshop. Perfect for my needs
Very useful video. Covered everything I need to know. Thank you
absolutely amazing video, thank you for making this!
this is a critically important videos. i think a lot of people start working with carbon fiber thinking it's as safe as arts & crafts and it's really not
Extremely well made. I know everything I need too now so Thank you
great advice,have had to discover most of this for myself by doing it (for 1/10th R/C car parts) but good to see how the professionals do it-thanks!
You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it.
Great video! it answered all my questions and it was very informative, good job!
Great information on how to do multiple different types of cutting carbon. Thx for your tips sir.
Thank you for such professional video!
Thanks for such a detailed video, answered all of my questions
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much for taking the time to share this info!
Thanks very much for an informative, interesting and thorough tutorial. I can finally cut my carbon fiber using my rotary tool and hand saws with confidence.
I'm glad you found the video useful :)
Very good video. Thorough and gave easy techniques for various carbon fiber materials.
That is a great demonstration, and very informative.
Well done.
And to the aircraft engineer mentioning the Fein oscillating diamond cutter.
Thanks to the both of you.
You're welcome Terrence, appreciate your feedback.
Thank you for this video. Great comprehensive tutorial!
Excellent video! You answered a number of questions that I had. Will proceed to your website. Thanks.
Great instructional video. Much appreciated!
great info as usual guys. I just received my easylease today and can't wait to try it!
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.
Just what I needed to know. Thanks for this and the other great vids!
Perfect video, just what I was looking for! Thanks for making it.
No problem at all, I'm glad the information has helped.
Very informative, thanks for taking the time to make and for sharing this
Best video about CF ever! Thank you!
Great video Thankyou for this . Material on the way for a small project - this has been brilliant thanks 😊
Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed the video!
I learned everything I needed to from this one video. Thank you!
I'm glad it was useful :-)
tons of great information in this video, thank you
Extremely helpful video, thank you. Now I need to order the permagrit kit!
Exactly what I needed thanks a lot
Just the video I wanted, great info 👍🏼
Thoroughly excellent video.
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise in cutting Carbon Fiber, a superb tutorial !!
Its our pleasure - this is quite an old video now but the tools and techniques are equally as relevant today.
that was outstanding - wow! thank you so much for this 30min video. very very cool
Thanks. 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 :)
Excellent video!
Excellent video! Thank you! 👍👍❤❤
Fantastic Tutorial! Thanks!
thank you for your video. Very helpful.
Great video, helped me a lot! Thanks for that!
Great work guys thank much!!!
Great video! Thanks
Thank you! You just saved me a ton of money having to pay for custom work on a relatively simple project!
Glad we could help Tim!
This video it’s absolutely fantastic! Impressive, really! Thanks for your help! 👍
You're very welcome Giuseppe.
thank you for great presentation
It's the new Dremel Fortiflex. They used to be called Motorflexes which were amazing until they stopped making them but the good news is they releaunched it, called the Motorflex. Worth every penny (and you can get all replacement spare parts if you use it a lot like we do).
Awesome video. Thanks for making these
I wanted to know a little about cutting and finishing a sheet of carbon fiber. I'd say this video was pretty on point.
Thanks Brian, glad it helped and answered your questions.
Myths busted, This has been very helpful. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this video. A great video.
Thank you - excellent and useful information, clearly presented!
You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I have learned so much from these videos!
Hi Johnny, we keep producing videos due to comments like this :) Thanks for the feedback
Brilliant video and information, all the concerns I had, have been covered! Top Class!! :) ....Thank You ...
and thanks to you Rupert - feedback like this makes it all worthwhile and makes us want to get more tutorials out there!! :)
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.
Brilliant video guys. Can't wait for the next one. (happy customer)
Great quality video very clear and covered everything very helpful cheers
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it :)
very well presented. thank you
Wow. I’m great full to you for this video. Now I have to source some prepreg sheet!
Well Colin, hopefully you know where to come for that. We’ve been the leading manufacturer of carbon fibre sheet for a number of years, hopefully our quality and price will meet your needs.
Thank you so much for your advice~
Thank you.
You guys are the best.
Haha, that’s very kind, thanks.
Thank you I am building a case for my ham radio and want a carbon fiber face plate this helped alot👍👍👍👍
I'm glad that our video helped your project!
amazing tut.! please make a how to for carbon fiber tubes!! thanks for this tutorials! i´ve learned a lot!
Very useful instructions with rich content.. Please do keep them coming!
Thanks for sharing excellent recommendations
There will be a new laminating video coming soon and also a new skinning video (they are two different processes). We've learned a lot over the years, not to mention increased the production values for our videos so replacement videos for skinning and laminating are overdue :)
I highly recommend this video. ONLY thing it lacked was cleaning up drilled holes.
True enough, we could perhaps have shown that. In reality, just a tickle round with some wet and dry paper is usually all it takes 👍
And y’all reply to comments.?..!. Where’s that subscribe button?
Just love your work
Explaining all the way
Well done
Must watch all YOUR videos 📹 😉
Thank you for the really kind feedback Dhanash!
Amazing video!! Thank you
Thank you for your kind comment!
thank you for this information!!!
You’re welcome Adrian, glad you’re enjoying it.
great job man
Great, thank you for the education
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.
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.
Best video I've seen yet on how to work on carbon. I image that piece of high density foam isn't cheap?
Fantastic ...thanks!
well done video, thanks!
Excellent, thank you!
Awesome video! thanks a lot :D
great info.Thanks very much.
Our pleasure Gerard; glad you liked.
I was worried I might be getting in over my head without CNC milling capability, this video showed me that carbon fiber is probably easier to work with than metal with the tools I have, excellent.
Thanks for the comment Andy, glad you enjoyed the video!
It sands beautifully. Just make sure to have a vacuum or other dust collection under control, and a good respirator. If you’re drilling it, use a 1/16” drill bit for a pilot hole. Otherwise it likes to splinter.
Great info, thanks for this.
that was brilliant
Great video. I have this insane idea to buy a pre-2019 Audi RS7 or S7 and cut through the CF diffuser so I can install the trailer hitch from the A7 on it(the A7 uses a plastic fascia). That way I can still use my bike rack and possibly tow my motorcycle. Having watched this video, I now have confidence that I can cut it out cleanly and easily with a dremel, sand it down, then put epoxy on the edges so snow and rain can't damage it.
yes, I am completely aware that cutting through that diffuser is absolutely insane
Did you do it?
Great video thanks
Nice video! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed Vince!
Yery good explanations.
Superb video! ✊🏻😊 - Thank you
Thanks Larry, glad you liked it.
Totally fresh guys. TY. I am very noob to all of this - TY. :D
Thanks Matt, glad you enjoyed it.
Wow vas a ser mi profesor de ahora en adelante
Good video but GREAT index on the side. Easy to skip the safety stuff (j/k)
