I want to cut about 600mm (2 feet) off a carbon epoxy spinnaker pole. The pole is 100 mm (4 inch) diameter with a 3mm (1/8th inch) wall.
What would be the best hand tool to use? I know that dust is a concern and all precautions re inhalation and eye and skin contact should be avoided, so I did not want to use any power tool. If a hand saw can be used, what would the best material for the cutting teeth. After cutting, should I treat the cut edge with anything?
Thanks in anticipation of a response.
