5/10/22 Cutting the Carbon Fiber tubes

May 10

Eesh with respirator

Have to use an industrial respirator since the CF powder is insanely fine and can cause irritation to eyes (found this out the hard way) and lungs.

cut carbon fiber tube in clamp

Followed the tutorial to cut the CF tube. Used a handsaw with a metal cutting blade and it might light work of the tube.

First cut a shallow circle all the way around it and then once satisfied cut all the way through following the tape line.

end of carbon fiber tube, needs sanding

The result was that it was decently straightish for the most part but there were some light fractures near the edge.

This can be disregarded since it won't affect the structural integrity.
