Cutting Fiberglass Cloth 1

[bduff]

I am inquiring into if any of you have ever cut holes into a piece of fiberglass cloth. I need an efficient way of doing so in a production environment prior to bonding the cloth with epoxy. I have inquired to our local Laser Cutting Shop to see if they can do so but I'm not confident this will be successful. Any thoughts you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
bduff

A waterjet will do a nice job.

Look at CNC Gerber cutting tables. We had a 12' x 80Ft for making fiberglass composite fabrics for radomes.

It sounds like you mean dry fiberglass. A steel rule cutting die works great for production.
