How nasty is the dust?







Any other bits of wisdom are appreciated.

A hacksaw or coping saw should work just fine and will not produce much dust.



Carbon fiber is not all that hard. The dust is mostly expoxy. But should not be a big problem.



Boron fiber is a different story. It produces splinters .

Carbide rod saw in hacksaw frame http://goo.gl/HBQRU6 I use these to cut hard stuff like ceramic tile. You could use water to keep the dust down.

Also, I wonder if you could score & snap this material like I do with fiberglass PC boards?
