Dremel: What should I get?

[WeeManFoo]

I would like to cut a spot for my two yate loon fans on top of my Lian Li A05 case. I need a dremel but I don't want to spend alot of money. What is the cheapest dremel with cutting tool I can get that will easily cut through my aluminum case?

Just make sure that you get a real Dremel, not a 'rotary cutting tool'. Dremels are better and have a proper motor to stand up to the stress of metal and plexi cutting use.

I paid $60 for mine at Sears, but it was the nicest model with a lot of different attachments and a nice hard case to store it all in.

Amazon has one for just under $30.

When I used my Dremel for the first time, the cutting blades ground down to nothing very quickly. I would suggest picking up a few more cutting blades if you don't get a half dozen in a pack-in with the Dremel itself.

I went to Lowes last month and saw the 75th Anniversary Edition Dremel. :drool:
It looks awesome and durable. Not as much plastic as current models. I want it.

Is there a certain RPM to look for when wanting to cut cases and plexi?
