Cutting fiberglass
Hi All,
Looking for a little help for my son. He is a mechanical engineer for a company that designs and manufactures power supplies. They are looking for the best machine for cutting fiberglass. They will be cutting gpo (glastic), max 1/4" thick, sheet size is 48" x 96". Any suggestions for best equipment to handle this type of job?
Thanks in advance.

This would be for large quantities. So water jet is the best way? Any idea on brand and model that would work best?

Thanks, but this is more for an industrial job cutting large quantity of fiberglass sheets. Just trying to get my son a leg up with his boss. I figured someone here would know the best manufacturer of industrial water jets.

We have two large Omax machines in our shop that are used two shifts a day and just bought another. We have had good luck with them on ship building work. Omax would be a good company to reach out to.

When I saw the title to this thread "Cutting Fiberglass" I automatically said to myself "SUCKS". Because every time I've done it I get little invisible splinters all over. So my opinion is that "Cutting Fiberglass Sucks".
