Hi! All
Just for the record! Since it matters not to me now ! If the knife is<
buggering> the lay up then you have not discovered the right time to do it
after the layup is completed.
Get the timing right it cuts like butter.
The only reason I'm being so pedantic on this issue is that I would be sorry
that those new builders coming on behind didn't enjoy the benefit of it. If
you are really brave and cut very close to the finish line there will be an
absolute minimum of sanding dust.

Hi Rowland
I have used the little angle grinder wheels for the dremel and they
work very well. They seem to be more balanced than the permagrit
although that too has its uses.
What is the point of knife trimming anyway? It just appears to bugger
up the layup that you spend so long perfecting. I tried it only
twice, then reverted to the Dremel or craft knife and metal ruler or
pad saw.
all IMHO
