hi all,

im replacing the carbon canards on my rex and just wondered if anyone has any tips on cutting

2mm thick carbon sheet

I would imagine a high speed rotary tool with a very sharp disk?

I\'ve used a tile cutting blade in a jigsaw, Don\'t forget to wear a Dust Mask !!

Carbon dust will absolutely murder the motor in a Dremel in very short order. Don\'t do it unless you have a Dremel you don\'t mind killing! Or borrow someone else\'s and feign innocence when it coughs its last :rollin

Ive done cutting using dremel without issues, you will find the cheap discs you get with the kit will snap very easily, you can get a fibre constructed discs similar to hand grinder discs which are the bollaks :Thumbs-up
