Hey all
Im Mark, from the u.k. ( sheffield aka steel city )

Just thought id say hi.
Im thinking of investing in a basic cnc setup to cut carbon fibre sheet...
Hopefully after i get round to looking through more posts , and perhaps with a bit of guidance you may be able to help me chose suitable equipment to cut carbon fibre sheet. I posted in the " want to buy thread " (edit : looks like i accidently posted it in the composite section actually.)

It would be great if people with similar interests get in touch !!

Regards
Mark

Be very careful of the dust as it can kill your lungs. I use a vauum that I setup especially with multiple filters and a hepa final filter. I then exhaust it to the outside as a final safety measure.
I have heard that people cut it wet, but I have never looked into it.
