To reduce the number of chips and splinters within the carbon fibre laminate it is widely recommended to use a blade with as many teeth as possible, or preferably a tool with an abrasive edge.  E.g. Metal cutting discs or Tungsten Carbide hacksaw / jigsaw blades.

In this article, we take you through the necessary steps required in cutting carbon fibre, trimming, and sanding carbon fibre, as well as giving an insight into the tools that are required to do it safely.

Always ensure when cutting carbon fibre that you cut slightly less off your material than you actually need to remove, this will allow you to sand back the excess material, giving yourself a nicer edge finish to the final piece.

In terms of the actual cutting tools available for cutting carbon fibre, there is, at the time of writing, no specialist cutting tool for how to cut carbon fibre. In fact, you are free to use any number of tools including Hacksaw, Dremel, Angle Grinder or Jigsaw. The trick, as we have stated above, is to use either a blade with very fine teeth or, ideally an abrasive material in place of teeth.

If you wish to polish your cut edges you can do so with a very fine 180 or 400 fine-grit sandpaper wrapped around your sanding block, which should give a perfect edge finish for your trimmed parts.

For a brief overview of respiratory protection read our article here. Or to understand the full safety standard requirements around working with carbon fibre read our article here.

As ever, take care to wear the correct PPE equipment, as sanding carbon fibre can produce a large amount of very fine dust particles that can easily cause irritation.

For hand protection, we recommend a pair of Kevlar Gloves, lightweight and comfortable so allow you plenty of movement to work on your product but provide a high level of protection against sharp edges.

Next, you will need to decide just what it is you want to do, as the amount and shape of material you want to remove may well dictate the tool(s) you use.  For example, for cutting off large sections of material in straight lines the best tool for the job would be an angle grinder, whereas if you have complex shapes you need to trim you may opt for a Jigsaw or a Dremel.

The main thing to remember is that the finer the abrasive, the better the end result will be. For example, a GRP cutting blade for a jigsaw will have large, jagged teeth and will chip and fracture its way through the resin as you cut, leaving you with a very rough and messy edge to clean up.  In direct contrast, an abrasive blade such as one coated in Tungsten Carbide will give a much cleaner cut, greatly reducing the amount of finishing work you will need to undertake.

Once you have created your carbon fibre part(s), either by way of infusion or wet lay-up, you will most likely need to get your parts ‘showroom ready’ by trimming, cutting, or filing them to achieve the perfect result.

Given your part is new, and fresh out of the mould it is doubtful you will need to polish any more of the part other than the cut edges.

Whatever you use, when cutting carbon fibre, we recommend utilising a cutting surface such as a high-density foam to allow you to cut cleanly and evenly through your workpiece.

To remove the last few millimetres of carbon fibre, tidying up any chipping of your edges we recommend sanding carbon fibre. This can be completed with a simple sanding block used with a mixture of coarse and fine abrasive papers to allow you to get the very best finish.

Once again, depending on the nature of the task being undertaken you should also consider your clothing protection, as not only can recently demoulded parts be razor-sharp at the edges, but carbon fibre dust can cause irritation to the eyes, hands, and forearms.  We would therefore recommend that you wear suitable protective eyewear, gloves, and overalls to avoid any unnecessary risk.
