I have a honey yellow Fenwick fiberglass FL 84-5 , i was thinking of cutting and installing spigot ferrules. I would like to make it into a three piece rod. Has anyone used this Fenwick blank what are your thoughts ? Re: Cutting a fiberglass flyrod blank

Carl,
Consider investigating the FG ferrule system I developed before proceeding. Search “CARL” (Constant Arc Rod Link) in the forum and photo sections. Contact me with further questions.

i like using a three sided file because it doesn,t create any carbon or glass air born dust.. Re: Cutting a fiberglass flyrod blank

To cut blanks or solid stock, or brass, aluminum , or steel, I use a modified miniature chop saw obtained from Harbor freight:
I replaced the saw blade with a 3 inch abrasive cut off wheel. It cuts anything that is put in front of it. Thin wheel, so minimal cutting dust or debris: [www.rodbuilding.org] ---------------------- [www.harborfreight.com] I removed the saw from the base. Removed everything on the cutting surface of the saw. Took a piece of 1/4 x 1/4 angled aluminum and used it to make a backing stop for the saw. Then, mounted the back stop on the base with machine screws. When I mounted the back stop, I made sure that I was mounting the stop at 90 degrees to the cut off wheel. Then, I dropped the spinning wheel through the back stop to make a wheel width cut through the back stop. In use, just hold the item next to the back stop and put the spinning wheel through the material being cut. Take care Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
