Hi,
i've already decided what products i need for build a carbon fiber tube (braided sleeve, appropriate resine and hardner..)
and now before i place the order i'd like to understand what type of carbon rigid plate buy to build a small 
plate (roughly 47mm x 36mm) with i think a 2mm thick to substain the 5208-150 brushless gimbal motor.
What i'd like to make it's something similar to this plate 
but without this curves..

I see you have two types of rigid plates:

the The pre reg 
and the WetLay one

I do not have any issues of cosmetics.. it's only a support that goes under the brushless motor plate...
so no one could see it...

I do not have also nay issues of precision.. (i read that the expensive one could be more precise..)
if it will be 2,2 or 2,6 millimiters does not matter..

I only need a strong sheet..that could support the brushless motor to the two clamps..

Ok i know there is some plate already made..but i prefer to build one for my self.. with only the holes that my motor need..

In order to make the right holes..i do not see any Tips for a drill on  your site..?
What kind of drill do you suggest..?
Should i buy a "dremel" ...

In order to cut the sheet into the plate dimension (47 mm x 36mm ) 
to have some plates.. what kind of tool do you suggest to me...?

This set in union with a "Dremel"...?
Or this product ...?

Thank you very much for the time you dedicate in answering to me..

I'm wait for your reply before to place the prder..

Paul.

Any good quality HSS metal drill bit will drill into carbon.  As with most materials, small pilot hole first then increase the size.  Carbon will blunt drill bits fairly quickly.

In terms of cutting the sheet, either of those tools will work fine.  Dremel based tools will be quicker and neater initially but both will still need the edges finishing off.
