What Dremel tool t....

[Generalen]

... do U recommend for cutting holes in computer cases I will be glad if U have the number for it, but a description is enough.
BTW what's the size of the holes on fans (so I know what drill to use, when I make the mounting holes)

I use the Dremel Multipro Variable speed with cutting wheels to do my blowholes. Just see the size of your screw and measure the middle part of your screw and get the drill bit that closely matches it.

if you are steady handed (arent we all), just use the shank arbor it comes with and metal cutting discs (the real flimsy looking ones, but they pack a punch).

i recommend you just get some 80mm and 120 mm (depending on what size fan) and find a hole saw in that size and strap it to a nice 14.4 volt drill and you will get a nice clean perfectly round cut.

if you use the drememl, make sure you arent going against the rotation, just cuz if the disc breaks it could go flying at your face.

If you get the cordless on you better buy some extra batteries. Theres nothing more aggervating than working on something and the dang battery dies. I would recommend a corded one unless you think the cord will get in your way.

I just use scissors.

I don't have the cordlessone so batteries won't be a problem. Got Dremel Multi 3950:UN

The Brown or black disk?

scissor:Q for the side panels???

i used a &quot;rotozip&quot; it worked like a charm. probably a lot quicker too.

You can buy 'rotozip' side cutting bits for the dremel too. They work pretty well.

bunker: do u know what number the rotozip got or how it look like?

I Would also reccomend the 80, or 120mm hole saw &amp; a drill... No need to even get cordless... For everything else I have a Black &amp; decker rtx.. its bassically the same thing as a dremmel except it's orange &amp; more comfortable... plus it was cheaper at the time...

and remember to keep the speed of the dremel down, too fast = too hot and may leave burn/melt marks on cuts

as a non-english speaker, I was always wondering, how do you guys pronounce &quot;DREMEL&quot;

is it DREAMEEL, or what?

Not quite sure what you are asking here....

If you're asking for the number of the bit, I'm not sure as I threw away the packaging for it a while ago. I got mine at Sears, they have their own version of the Dremel, and they sell the bits. It's called a side cutting bit.

It's pronounced like this: DREH MEL (as in the word melt)

brown disc.

the rotozip is good too, just takes some practice, and since you have one case, its kinda iffy.

the hole saw i still say is better. yes, corded is fine, but on cordless ones you get the higher torque ones on lower speeds (look at some if you dont believe me) and you want to go slow and strong, which low speed and high torque will do.
