Default New blog article on how to cut a pefect hole in glass/ carbon/ kevlar laminates.

Hello everyone.
I just made a new blog on how to cut a perfect hole in glass carbon and kevlar laminates.
The basics is very simple: use the right tool at the right speed.
A few more tips are available like using a softer material under the part to drill, vacuuming the part as the drill progresses, letting the part cool down to avoid heat buildup.
Note that these laminates do not like too much lubrication during the drilling progress.

Here is a picture of the tools I am using:



These are by far the best jobbers I have ever used and 100% made in the USA.
