They are pressed into the holes mate I made the holes .1 under size, carbons pretty soft so needed a tighter fit.
If it was alloy 0.02 would be enough.
Don't waste your time trying any others mate I got some coated ones of the same style and not worth the extra money, I've only tried them on carbon, plastic and MDF.
1 cutter did all this that's all the holes and profiling but finished the profile with an end mill, I have another program that does 20 parts per plate just the smaller rectangle parts but the cutter was worn at the tip and makes the edge tapper.Last edited by Dean jeffery; 21-08-2016 at 04:13 PM.

I've tended to use diamond burrs, the type you find in rotary tool sets, for cutting carbon. Even less than 55p each! Here's a recent example:
And a not so recent (T-5 years) example (probably already posted somewhere on this site):
I'm still using that keyring - amazed that I've not lost it yet. I'll splash out on the cutters suggested here for the next part and compare...

Deffo splash out Jonathan that carbon looks really chewed up :(
This ones not been deburred or anything yet, but as said just a quick rub round the edge with wet and dry and it's burr free :)
