Thread: Carbon Fiber Scales

Hello all,

I've been doing some googling on how to make carbon fiber scales. I've found several razors that have them, but no information on how to make them. Anyone know how? What tools and materials are necessary? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Not really sure if this answers your question but you can actually order sheets of carbon fiber from places such as Masecraft.

I looked at their website, do you know if I would use the tape? Or is it an actual sheet of carbon fiber?

You'd want the 1/8" x 5" x 12" piece...its an actual sheet.

Thank you!

worse handle material work with.
So much dust and it is nasty.
I replaced 3 clothing (basically throw it away) after everything done.

Ive never used it personally...doesn't appeal to me. But I know G10 and Micarta are bad enough...if it's worse...you can keep it..lol

Hi Bud,
How did you prepare the scales? Did you buy the sheets and cut/sand them? Any information is greatly appreciated!

CF IS Coming ready condition. you will need to cut it and sand it.
The problem is so much fiber(while you cut) comes out of from that scales all your cloths gets dirty and there is no way you could clean (wash etc) that stuff.
You must use some mask etc.
if i would never go that scales again.
i understand it doesn't bend ,broke etc but working with that scales is really PITA.

i hae worked with micarta G10 and CF and can tell you CF just plain sucks

think about rolling around in fiberglass then think abut the fact that CF fibers are lighter then glass and much finer

i worked mmy CF 99% of the time wet to keep dust to a min and that still only helped a bit

CF is cool to look at and i like the strength to weight but i might never work any of it ever again
