dremel bit

[Earl Haury]

I prefer to use Dremel grinding stones on composites. They're easy to control and won't snag Kevlar as a burr or drill can. The conical styles allow cutting lines with the tip, making smooth radii with the larger end, and boring holes from small to large. Cutoff wheels work well on straight cuts. 

(Be careful if using the round saws, a friend lost control of one and it ran up his thumb / arm as deep as the shaft would allow, finally to be stopped at his watch band.)

  For the stright line areas, a thin minature round saw blade works very well.
  It may take a bit of practice to keep the blade aligned in the cut to avoid binding.
  For curved areas, I find the smallest diamond patterned cutter works well.  I use it to get close to the desired cut, then a sanding drum to finish cutting to the final edge.
