Anyone have a website or a shop they know of that sells Dremel Wheels for cheap? I have been spending $7.50 for 5 of the fiberglass ones a shot. They didn't come with my rotary tool, I got a craftsman one with some rather cheap wheels. Do they come in packages of more than 5 at a time?

well thats cheap actually. home depot sells them for about 3-5each, and www.caseect.com has one for 4.99.
and those should last you a good few long cuts. i went through about 50 tough dremal wheels for my 2 80mm blow holes. but they werent the diamond ones..
where are u getting yours from?
and u may wanna get a jigsaw, use it to start the hole, then the dremel/file/sandpaper to finsh the circle.

Is your case made out of tank armor? I only used a couple wheels to cut out my huge window. You have to get the 'fiber reinforced' ones. They weren' very expensive.

It all depends how you cut, let the RPMs do the work, not pressure.

I got mine at home depot, don't remember the price, but they were pretty cheap.

I picked up a pack of 10 fiver reenforced for a ~ $10 at Home Depot. Ive decided NOT to use them to cut fan holes though. Im just gonna hold out till I find someone with a power drill...

I order the Emery cutting wheels from Micromark . They cost $7.95 for a 36 piece package. The fiber reinforced, however are $4.50 per two-pack.

My Inwin case needed 6-7 reinforced for my window....

and I found no name re-inforced wheels at walmart in the hardware section for the same price as home depot, BUT, u get twice as many disks, 5vs10... took 1.5 disks to cut out the 3 80mm fan grills on my case... they seem pretty good

well i have the antex sx1030, and the side walls are very thick. and i didnt use anything but the dremal wheels to cut with. thats why i went through so many. they were only like 5 bucks for a 20pack.
