RE: Drilling CF props
Hi,
Yes with qualifications. The swarf and dust from CF is nasty and will cause cancer in Californian lab rats and at the least result in "mega itchies" in humans . I would strongly suggest that you wear PPE (at the minimum a particle mask) and do the job outside on a windy day, (with the wind at your back), to disperse the nasties. When I cut or drill CF I do so with hand tools if possible with water running over the job. If this isn't a viable option at least set up your shop vac to suck up the particles as you go and do the work outside.
Cheers,
Colin
