it's something you connect to an air compressor, with a changeable cutting wheelcurrently it has a wheel meant for cutting metal, but i'm sure i can use a dremel bit

if it has adjustable speeds, you'd probably want it on the lowest, because that female of the dog species sounds powerful

[metalcookie]

i don't think it has adjustable speeds, but i can change the air pressure.

[Taiben]

What kinda discs does it take? dremel discs are tiny with something like a .7mm hole. Make sure their rated for the kinda speeds your airtool gets up to.

[metalcookie]

lol it would never work.
it's rated at like 30,000 rpm. i'm sure i could find a plastic cutting wheel for it.

HOLY S**T!! Thats the maximum speed my dremel goes. On that level you melt through plastic not cut it.

plastic (abs) is a b*tch to cut, dremel i found too awkward so i just drilled then hacksawed

My Dremel is a $9 piece of crap. It has no torque and it gigantic.

Dude, that's more spammy than me. Please stop. I quit, you should too.[/justicespam]

Ugh. This is one of the biggest misconceptions of Dremels. They aren't the same as a drill, torque isn't what does the job. With a dremel, the speed does the work. ALWAYS use a light touch and let the speed do the work for you. Think less like a jackhammer breaking through concrete and more like eroding stone. That's how it's designed, reaming down on it will put extra stress on the motor and the bits.

Reading the manual isn't for pansies. It really does help.

hey, where did you get a 9 dollar dremel? i didn't think people would sell those things so cheap.

I use a $14 Black and Decker rotary tool I got from Wal-Mart. I like it better than my previous Dremel, and it's lasted longer too. A rotary tool is a rotary tool - you don't need a name-brand Dremel.

My generic Michael's brand dremel, was useless.
Crapped out on me as soon as I want for the n64 case.
I hope to see this finished soon.

[banditpaw1]

I have a 5$ "rotary tool" from target!
only problem was the shaft dosent work
oh well it came with 20 bits and lots of cutting wheels!

[metalcookie]

i hope to finish this by the first week in may. reasons?
i have no heatsinking/fans
i have no battery charger
i have no PSone screen
i have but only 28 gauge wire for power, so i have no wire for power
i do have money, but only get paid on friday
i've got most of the electrical wiring done, like the cart slot and a power circuit and the right side of the controller, so i've got much of the portable done
