For a small piece of material I find it a bit expensive. But it can be processed very well, without corners and edges. Used a table saw to cut it to size and a hole saw to cut out the required hole to fit the tool. Looks great. My original intention was to make the part out of a 1/16" piece of aluminum and then paint it crumpled black paint. The decision to use carbon fiber material is because it has a nicer finish than store bought and has never been touched up or needs to be repainted.
