Cutting and sanding Fiberglass?
What are the best tools to use to cut and file/sand down fiberglass.
I have never worked with the stuff before.
I need to enlarge the opening for the clutch cover, cut a hole for the dump pipes, and the air filter, and clean up many of the casting flaws on my catalyst panels.
Looks like the gobs I need to remove are epoxy.
Thanks in advance.
Lyle

A standard dremel with the right attachments always worked for me.
except for cutting holes I usually use a variable speed drill in slow mode, first I tape the fiberglass then mark the sport and drill just like we do when cutting fairings for installing frame sliders
