Summary of Standard Thicknesses

0.25mm (.010") Glossy one side
Our very thinnest carbon fiber veneer.
A very flexible carbon fiber sheet, used as a thin veneer over other substrates. It can be bent around a 1-inch diameter pipe and can be cut with a pair of scissors or razor knife. This carbon fiber veneer is so thin, and our resin is so clear that you can almost see through the weave intersections if you hold it up to the light.

0.5mm (.020") Glossy one side
Our standard thin carbon fiber veneer/sheet.
A fairly flexible carbon fiber veneer, it can be bent as around a 4 inch diameter pipe. This sheet can be cut with a pair of good scissors or sharp razor knife. Most commonly used for jobs requiring a decorative lamination over another stiff panel.

1.0mm (.038") Glossy one side
Medium carbon fiber sheet.
Somewhat flexible, but usually used in flat form. Used for durable surfaces or mounting control panels that have some backing support. This carbon fiber panel can be bent around a 12 inch diameter pipe. While tin snips can cut through this carbon fiber sheet, it should be cut with standard cutting tools like a hacksaw, coping saw, or a dremel tool. This panel can be cut with multiple scoring actions with a razor knife, but a carbide saw or abrasive cutoff wheel is faster and cleaner.

1.3mm (.052") Glossy one side
Stiff carbon fiber sheet
With only slight flexibility, this carbon fiber panel doesn't need much backing to support gauges and controls mounted to it. It can be cut with a carbide saw or abrasive cutoff wheels. Use of common metal cutting tools will work but steel tools will wear down after a few panels are cut. We recommend using carbide, bimetal, and diamond coated cutting tools available at hardware stores.

1.7mm (.068") Matte texture on BOTH sides
Structural Panel - very Stiff carbon fiber sheet
This carbon fiber panel is rigid and doesn't need a backing to support gauges and controls mounted to it. It can be cut with a carbide saw or abrasive cutoff wheels. Standard dremel tools can be used to cut features but plain steel tools will wear down after a few panels are cut. Many diamond coated cutting tools (can be used for all panel sizes) are available at hardware stores for low cost.

2.4mm (.093") Matte texture on BOTH sides
Structural Panel - rigid carbon fiber plate
Very rigid, this carbon fiber panel doesn't need a backing to support gauges and controls mounted to it. It can be cut with a carbide saw or abrasive cutoff wheels. Standard dremel tools can be used to cut features but plain steel tools will wear down after a few panels are cut. Diamond coated cutting tools are also a good choice.

3.1mm (.122") Matte texture on BOTH sides
1/8" thick Structural Panel - rigid carbon fiber plate
Very rigid, this carbon fiber panel is rock solid. It can be cut with a carbide saw or abrasive cutoff wheels. Standard dremel tools can be used to cut features but you should only use carbide or diamond coated tools. Many diamond coated cutting tools (can be used for all panel sizes) are available at hardware stores.
