A hand held, variable speed air powered chopper gun for coating molds or parts with glass reinforcement. Continuous glass roving is fed into the rear of the gun. The gun then chops the roving into short pieces and deposits them onto the mold. Resin is then applied by brush, roller or sprayed on using a cup gun. The length of the fibers can be varied from 4" down to 5/16". This gun will deposit the equivalent of one layer of 1 oz mat onto a vertical surface without fall-off before wet-out. Ideally suited to quick mold or part build-up once the first layer or two are in place. Use a saturation roller to remove trapped air. New design increases cutter head surface by 32% and increased quantity of chopped material between blade replacements by 33%. Works with #522 Gun Roving or #2293 24K Carbon Tow.  

Available in 40 lb rolls, this gun roving feeds through our #1171-A Air Chopper Gun and is designed for use in all polyester spray up systems, both filled and unfilled.. This versatile roving chops cleanly, wets rapidly and completely. Yields approximately 205 yards per pound.  

24,000 individual Carbon filaments make up this tow(yarn). It can be used to selectively reinforce Fiberglass, KEVLAR®, and Carbon components. This high strength Carbon Tow is ideal for fabricating small, high strength, low weight structures, as well as building out fillets on Carbon parts. It can also be used to filament wind tubes or for compression molding applications. It wets out easily with resin and can be cut with a sharp pair of shears or used with out 1171-A Air Driven Chopper Gun. For the highest strength properties we suggest using Epoxy or Vinyl-Ester resin, although Polyester resin is also compatible.
