  • drillbit for CF?

    Do I need a particular type of drillbit for carbon fibre frames? I need to drill some 3mm holes and the bits I have for my 'Roto-tool' (cheap dremel wannabe but it's OK for simple stuff) are all too worn now and they don't even begin to bite into these carbon frames.

    I've drilled loads of holes in CF frames and only ever used normal HSS bits. Never had a problem.

        Nice new standard drill bit but drill through masking tape.
        Stops the drill bit from skating across the surface.

          I do the same as Malc, I do it the same way when cutting it too.
