Can You Bore a Fiberglass Tubing

Can You Bore a Fiberglass Tubing

Can You Bore a Fiberglass Tubing

(OP)
Can someone tell me if a fiberglass tubing can be bored to a larger inner diameter?

RE: Can You Bore a Fiberglass Tubing

Certainly.  Carbide tooling will last longer.

I assume you don't care about the surface finish.  It will be rough, and covered with short fibers and cavities where fibers used to be.
