First Attempt at Machining Carbon Fiber - Light Duty Utility Knife [#173]
I’ve long wanted to try machining carbon fiber, so I put together a quick little project to test some basic toolpaths. It’s a little proof of concept utility blade holder that I’m actually quite fond of now. I’ll probably end up using it for a few weeks to see where I can improve the design. So far I’ve only stabbed myself with it once.
Special thanks to Home Depot for providing the tools I used to keep me safe during this project:
14 Gal. HP NXT Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum -
HEPA Filtration Kit w/ Cyclonic Dust Bags -
Shoutout to Ryan at Elevated Materials () for the tips.
His recommended endmills for budget CF machining:
