Hi Hexites,
Not sure where to ask so decided to post here.
If I got this Dremel, would it be powerful enough to cut through 3mm thick aluminium "smoothly"? I've never used a dremel or any rotary cutting tool before although I do have some DIY experience from GCSE DT from 3+ years ago where I got an A*!
EDIT: I just measured the aluminium and it's actually 3mm! What I want to do is cut a hole for an SD card reader in the front of the case, and a hole for a low profile PCI-E card in the back of the case. What I'm concerned about is that the aluminium is painted black I assume, if I cut a hole in the front, won't it become silver where I cut it?
I'm a student so I don't really want to spend £80 on a Dremel that I'll use perhaps once.
Also, can I use the Dremel for polishing? I know how to hand polish (my method involves using 2500g sandpaper and then using a microfibre cloth + rubbing compound followed by micro fibre cloth + metal polish) but can the dremel speed up polishing to a mirror finish?
