The tool isn't as important as the bit when cutting/milling carbon-fiber. You need high-quality carbide bits if you want perfect results. My carbide countersink makes perfect countersunk holes in carbon-fiber, and it has already made hundreds...in carbon-fiber, 6061 & 7075 aluminum, stainless-steel, and even steel.

i have carbide bits for my dremel but my machinist did not have carbide bits. i looked online and found several different types for CNCs. was not sure what type to buy. any recommendations on carbide bits?

Maybe you can have him look at the bits below built specifically for carbon fiber:


"Milling cutter for carbon fiber"




"Solid Carbide Carbon Graphite Cutter"



Base on the designs above, I think you will have to look for a tool that really grinds away the material to leave a clean 'cut'... I am also assuming that these tools are spon at a high rate too.
If I find any more, I will post them.
