Hi all,
I am looking for ideas for tooling and bits to "carve" thick laminate stock.
In this case it is thick laminate 3"+ thick comprised of < 1/8" layers.
This is gunstock material produced with unknown adhesives (probably epoxies) under high pressure.
Likely it will will require carbide.
Also, due to the thinness of the layers I am not expecting to remove a lot of material fast to eliminate splintering, etc.
I am guessing right now that I will need some convex burr wheels for my 4" die grinder as a starting tool (after rough bandsaw shaping).
after that not sure.
All I know is I was told do NOT try using my good chisels on it for anything other than light paring, and I won't.
Any ideas or help greatly appreciated !
