It's gonna be hard to find someone willing to laser cut carbon. Cnc mill/router is gonna be your best bet

all i know are equipped w. extraction units because all the cutting fumes are toxic short pulsed lasers like femtosec units will work the pulsed laser reduces the backburn of the plastic matrix some shops use laser cutters designed for FRP they seal the cutting edge w. a plastik powder it melts by the heat of the laser and fills the backburn area | |

| Re: Progress II Both have their pros and cons. I see a lot of guys going back to bodies but it seems to be a trend more than a decision based on performance. I like the body for ease of maintenance and righting yourself when turtled out but the bodyless keeps the COG a little lower, you can see whats working and whats not and theres less to bind you up in a tight spot. As I said...pros and cons. I wouldn't choose one over the other based on who's running what but keep it performance and personal preference based. J.D. |
