Hello to you all, I'm new to composites and am planning on making some carbon fibre leg braces for myself.
I'm very impressed with some of the things going on here.
I've been involved in designing on CAD for 35 years but am new to the world of CNC with a Chinese router just delivered (it works very well Smile
Still not sure how best to get going with the composites so any suggestions for easing me into this would be appreciated.
Can't decide whether to buy an oven, or which ones I should look at.
I'm in the south east of the UK should any of you wish to get in touch.
Thank you for reading.
Liam

Welcome to the forum!!

First of all, do your research, watch a few videos and read up here and elsewhere so you can get a broad brush idea of how you might tackle the project..

Then most people will have an experiment  before jumping into their main project.

In terms of ovens., It all depends on budget.  If your budget is very low, you may have to modify or make something.  If you have a reasonable budget then our own in house designed  Composites Curing Oven is a very good choice.
