When designing a blade, what is the maximum thickness a composite material (such as carbon) be?

And does it matter if that is separated by wood, or all put together?

Say you were creating a blade with 2 different speeds... could you combine all of the max, allowable carbon on one side of the blade and leave the other half with natural wood?

Quote 2.4.2
At least 85% of the blade by thickness shall be of natural wood; an adhesive layer within the blade may be reinforced with fibrous material such as carbon fibre, glass fibre or compressed paper, but shall not be thicker than 7.5% of the total thickness or 0.35mm, whichever is the smaller.

Basically, if your total thickness is 4.66mm, then your composite layers are at 0.3495mm @ 7.5% total, the maximum thickness allowed.

Take the Viscaria for example, its total thickness is 5.7mm, then the composite layers at max are 0.3477mm @6.1% total.

You can have any number of layers of composite material so long as they are within the above limits.

Viscaria FL - 91g
+ Neo H3 2.15 Blk - 44.5g(55.3g uncut bare)
+ Hexer HD 2.1 Red - 49.3g(68.5g 〃 〃)
= 184.8g
