its hard to even find CF rigid sheet in the thickness I want (3mm) of the size I want. I've only found ONE seller on ebay, and its 2mm. I can do 2mm no problem. I just haven't ordered it yet. Price was good too.
What I would really like to find is someone who COULD machine it, but that is hard. I'm amazed at how hard it is to find someone to who can machine it. I hadn't realised the dust was such an issue, or that the bits could be so expensive. The dremel I have cut through the RC stuff like butter.
I'm not looking for full-on carbon fiber, the graphite impregnated stuff they use on RC's and shock towers would be fine too.
What do you guys plan tocut? I know someone who can machine CF plates. However he only has 3mm plates. Price is quite reasonable. Email me at othman.hafiz@gmail.com if you need further info.
