Dremel Tip Advice / Metal Bonding
I have a 30k rpm dremel and im looking to do some modding on a dell server case i have, its made out of the "old style case" metal so its a little stronger than the flismy aluminum used today. My question is for all your seasoned dremel users, what cutting tool is going to allow me to cut through this the fastest and neatest.
I've been using the little diamond cutting wheels, but i chew through quite a few (though eventually it gets the job done)
model #'s or links would be super appreicated!
Also since the server case isnt a p4 atx style mobo holder, im laying down a peice of polished aluminum as a bed for the new mobo where risers will be drilled into this piece, my 2nd question is if i can avoid welding (prefferably) what other methods to connect this aluminum sheet to the mobo tray is there, is there good soder that could do it ( i dont own welding equip hence im avoid welding) it has to be pretty strong to hold the mobo, waterblock , cards ect...
Thanks folks this is one fun project so far!!
