    How to cut Carbon fiber?

    I have a CF battery tray that I want to cut into a ESC mount and receiver mount. Don't want it to look like a hack job. What do y'all use?
    Thanks for your time,

    Diamond coated cutoff disc on a Dremel. I like to cover the area with a piece of mashing tape so I can draw a sharp pencil line to cut along. Wear a mask, or do it outside because the fine dust is no bueno for your lungs.

    As for what I use, I also have a diamond disc in a mini table saw that I use to make long, straight cuts. A bench sander is useful to smooth edges or round off corners, but a dremel sanding drum will work well too.

        Thanks guys. I will do it on my back porch with a dremel cutoff wheel and a mask. The battery tray is large enough that I can make a practice cut.
