<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is a great thread. I really like hearing
what people use for different purposes. Unfortunately I'm not sure what some
of you are referring to because there are so many different tips and cut-off
tools.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll start. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>When
cutting long straight lines in fiberglass or carbon fiber I use cutting tools
456 or 540. I like 456 because it's bigger and easier to reach flat areas, but
for shorter straight lines I'll use 540. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>For
going around corners I use 562, this is actually called a "Tile Cutting Bit"
but I find that it does a good job on carbon/fiberglass and is less likely
take-off uncontrollably than the other cutting bits such as 560 and 561. After
cutting with 562 I will then sand smooth with a sanding drum tip 444 or
438.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I prefer to use Dremel grinding stones on
composites. They're easy to control and won't snag Kevlar as a burr or drill
can. The conical styles allow cutting lines with the tip, making smooth
radii with the larger end, and boring holes from small to large. Cutoff
wheels work well on straight cuts. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(Be careful if using the round saws, a
friend lost control of one and it ran up his thumb / arm as deep as the
shaft would allow, finally to be stopped at his watch band.) </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>For the stright line areas, a thin minature round saw blade
works very well.</DIV>
<DIV>It may take a bit of practice to keep the blade aligned in the cut to
avoid binding.</DIV>
<DIV>For curved areas, I find the smallest diamond patterned cutter works
well. I use it to get close to the desired cut, then a sanding drum
to finish cutting to the final edge.</DIV>
