- 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.
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....
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 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.
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 :)
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!
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
Very useful video. Covered everything I need to know. Thank you
I love the videos you guys put together. By far the most informative, and best production quality.
Excellent video catering for the hobbyist and low output workshop. Perfect for my needs
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.
Extremely well made. I know everything I need too now so Thank you
absolutely amazing video, thank you for making this!
Thank you for such professional video!

Great information on how to do multiple different types of cutting carbon. Thx for your tips sir.
Thank you for this video. Great comprehensive tutorial!
Great instructional video. Much appreciated!
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! - 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.
Very good video. Thorough and gave easy techniques for various carbon fiber materials.
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 :)
Excellent video! You answered a number of questions that I had. Will proceed to your website. Thanks.
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
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.

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).

Hi Johnny, we keep producing videos due to comments like this :) Thanks for the feedback
Thanks for sharing excellent recommendations
You guys are the best.
Haha, that’s very kind, thanks.
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 :)
amazing tut.! please make a how to for carbon fiber tubes!! thanks for this tutorials! i´ve learned a lot!
Great, thank you for the education
Great quality video very clear and covered everything very helpful cheers
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it :)
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.
Amazing video!! Thank you
Thank you for your kind comment!
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.
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.
Wow vas a ser mi profesor de ahora en adelante
thank you for this information!!!
You’re welcome Adrian, glad you’re enjoying it.

Thank you for the really kind feedback Dhanash!
Awesome video! thanks a lot :D
Totally fresh guys. TY. I am very noob to all of this - TY. :D
Thanks Matt, glad you enjoyed it.
great job man
that was brilliant
Best video I've seen yet on how to work on carbon. I image that piece of high density foam isn't cheap?
Superb video! ✊🏻😊 - Thank you
Thanks Larry, glad you liked it.
Nice video! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed Vince!
Great video thanks
thanks for the video,,,thumbs up!
Ottimi insegnamenti 👌🏻
Grazie 🙂
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.
Wow, wow great video, everything we wanted to learn is HERE…..
Hi Steve, thank you for the great feedback! Glad you enjoyed!
Great info, thanks for this.
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?
Thanks a lot!!!
