Title: carbon source (and cutting question)
Post by: md126 on January 24, 2012, 05:56:00 PM

hello all, can anyone tell me where i can get good carbon laminations. i know binghams carries some but are there others? i'm looking for the carbon that offers greater stability torsionally and not just speed.

thanks, mike

Kustom king archery carries it. Kenny might have it.

ttt also, what do you use to cut carbon down to size, length and width? will regular bandsaw or tablesaw work? do you need a special blade/saw?

thanks, mike

Never cut strips or sheets, but with arrows, it needs something high speed like a dremmel to do it or it splinters.

Cut it with whatever you use for glass

I tape it on a piece of 1/4" plywood then cut it on the bandsaw or tablesaw with a carbide blade.Fine tooth on the tablesaw.
