Waterjet to cut carbon fibre gauge bezel?

[tekdeus]

I've got a sheet of ultra-thin 0.3mm real carbon fibre, plus a stainless steel guage bezel. Do you guys know who I could send these to to get the bezel pattern cleanly cut into the carbon fibre? It's very tough to cut with shears or scissors, so I'm thinking maybe a waterjet or laser would be the way to go.

waterjet.

dremmel/air grinder or drill and a cone shaped sanding wheel..:icon_bigg

2nd the Dremmel idea.

I think it's far too much small detail to do a quality job by hand. Especially the tiny little turn signal arrows.

You're boostin!

Actually, I had an extra one made since I had enough material. I plan to sell it on eBay to offset the high cost of getting this custom made.

It looks nice.

I always wanted to have chrome accent trim opposed to the bezel, similar to the ones manufactured for the MK4.

Excellent job.

[Rennat]

serisouly you have a GOOD product and could crank em out and sell em..

I'd buy one, I really like the way it looks compared to the stainless one that is on ebay...

if it was aluminum and I could have it anodized it would be sweet as well...

 

[7Mboost]

You have a possible product here, nice work as expected from you!

 

[Rennat]

Shall we put up a poll? And how much was this "one off" custom bezel? and if you save it to a cad file, couldnt you have a supporting vendor do it out of any material then? Aluminum, stainless, and then you could offer it in powder coat, and other special types of finishes. But i think most of us like the CF better.

I smell a group buy. I want some of that CF love.
