Hi guys

I have been cutting and trimming Carbon with the following.

Dremel Tool    -   Jigsaw with a carbid grit blade    -    4 inch cut off wheel -  Vibrator Tool -  Chisel

I am about to make a Carbon Fiber Violin of a Strad 1701 copy that I just bought for that purpose.

If you have ever looked at the F holes you can see the problems of the fine cuts involved.

What would be the best way? A 3d water jet would probably be the best, but real expensive.

Have you guys had any experience where real fine perfect cuts are involved?

Or could a steady hand with a dremel also get me there. Perhaps used like a router with a template guide.

Which cutters are the best?   Carbid   Diamond .

Thanks

Fred
