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.

Our high strength Carbon Tow is for selectively reinforcing fiberglass or carbon and for fabricating small, high strength, low weight structures. Use to filament wind tubes or add as a dense charge for compression molding.
