cutting fibreglass question
Hi everyone,
i have a quick question about cutting fibreglass in a rounded arc
i have used a dremel to cut sections out with a little cut off wheel, would this work for what i'm trying to do
i am worried i won't be able to curve it while cutting, is there maybe a better tool to use?
this is essentially what i have to do, picture borrowed from the internet
thanks for any help

You could do that to a rough finish and then finalize with sanding drum in dremel. Other option might be a air saw. https://www.harborfreight.com/air-to...saw-91753.html

try an air saw then finish with a roloc or sanding roll

Air saw....... I do this all the time. Even a Harbor Freight cheapy one works fine. Just get fine toothed blades..
