I've wanted to experiment with CF also, one reason I take interest in this thread. I've cut a lot of CF and Garolite G10/FR4 on my CNC for a previous client. I have endmills that could potentially be able to cut binding channel in CF, but they are extremely expensive PCD tools (polycrystalline diamond).
