Re: CUTTING CARBON FIBRE
Hi ARM
You need a carbide grit blade. It specially made for exactly what you're

Re: Curious why people need a small bandsaw for DIY?

Re: Curious why people need a small bandsaw for DIY?
Why do I need a band saw instead of cutting metal with a hacksaw? The same
reason I own an 14" abrasive blade cut off saw, a vertical band saw and a
hand held portable band saw in addition to my 4x6

Re: Redesign of the 4x6

Re: Redesign of the 4x6
I get your point.? Some companies basically plagiarize the ideas of other companies as their business plan - and that is a problem.
