Drilling a hole in carbon fiber handguard
#9
We use a grinding bit. For those DIY, use a dremel grinding bit at high speed. Go slow to prevent heat and blow the dust away as you "Drill". Then smooth out the edges and round over. Seal with Nail Polish. Using a bit will normally end up tearing the fibers on the inside.

Another way is to glue a steel plate to the inside of the HG where you want to drill. Use an epoxy cement. Then drill with a Sharp bit (high Speed) through CF and then slower through the steel plate.

Lawyer Talk: Use Full Face mask, Breathing apparatus, Safety glasses, and Gloves when working with CF and High Speed tools.
