    Info on thickness of CF shaft walls

    My experience I believe revo are about 1 mm thick walls. I make mine with a 1.5 mm thick wall, and have no problem, sanding one from 12.5 to 12 mm. I don't think it would be advisable to try to retaper a c.f. shaft using a router like you would use to retaper wood. It can be done by...
