Default TO CUT CARBON FIBER?

i just picked up a blank sheet of carbon fiber. i plan on using it on some interior parts and was wondering how well would it hold up once it came time to cut and shape.

i plan on using a scroll saw and a belt sander to smooth out the edges. if anybody has done this, how well did it hold up for you? any suggestions would be appreciated.

We don't need a bump every 18 minutes.

I've never cut CF, just worked on it with a Dremel, but I'd suggest using a very fine blade on the scroll saw. Other than that, you shouldn't have much of a problem, and if you lightly sand the edges they should have a decent finished look.
