working with carbon fibre

how easy is it to drill a hole in a sheet of carbon fibre say 52mm with a hole cutter on a drill ?

would it leave a neat hole of frayed ends all over the place ?

easy enough if you mask the hole right up and go slowly.

as said easy with a hole cutter, do it outside well ventilated and where a mask, gloves and cover your arms, if its proper carbon, not the mickey mouse stuff.
