"Case cutting knife"

[Zand]

I saw a case cutting knife at CompUSA... I don't really have access to many powertools and I was wondering if these things actually worked.

They are typically called "nibblers" and yes they do work but are hard on the hands and are slow.

If you search under "nibbler" you will find more discussion on it.

if you want your hand to hurt, sure.

If you get one wear a thick work glove or something like that.

slow - but they do work and can get very clean results....

A rotary tool like a dremel does a much better job.

while this is true and all but he said he doesnt have access and besides a nibbler wont "jump" around on you or break off like a dremal with a cutting wheel on it can.
myself i prefer a dremal or air nibbler but if i didnt have access then hand nibbler it is.
my first window i used a 40mm holes saw and made the corners and then used a dremal to cut out in between and made a nice round corner square..........those were the days 🙂
my father has pretty much a full shop in his backyard so if i needed it i got everything from a oxygen acetlyne torch to a plasma cutter.
