Nope. That one belongs in your wheelhouse Tom. Big Grin

By the way, how is the anodizing coming along? Popcorn

The anodizing is working fine Willie, I just used it a couple days ago. Maybe a video is in order.

Willie,

Hard coat or type one anodizing requires a chilled tank and a higher voltage supply. That means a dedicated setup for just hardcoat. Sorry, but I am flat out of room.

This is what I'll be doing tomorrow.
A chap brought in a fibreglass fan shroud for the rad on a Jaguar. Wants about 1/2 in taken off the edge, its too thick. Wouldn't be easy to cut on the table saw due to the shape but could be clamped down to the milling table and do one edge at a time. Will an end mill cut fibreglass or would a slitting saw do better?
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

I know fiberglass is brutal on bandsaw blades, at least at wood-cutting speeds. Run the bit slowly - maybe cast iron speed and be prepared to set it aside after this job. Endmills are cheaper than slitting saws, so might be the better choice.

If you can't get one, make one.

I wouldn't even bother trying High speed on fiberglass, it's really abrasive!

Yes, fiberglass will ruin a high speed tool bit instantly. Carbide or abrasive is the only option.
