Time consuming but so far creating very nice thin straight lines but probably don't need to go quite so thin since space needs to be allowed for gear door movement.
Thanks,

Good question woody.
We use very thin diamond engrained cutting wheels on the Dremmel, not the common composite wheels. They are about 1/2 as thick. Also, Brian always uses the remote wand attachment. Because it is so thin, it is easy to keep your cutting wheel at a right angle to your surface, important to making thin cuts. I use the right angle attachment to accomplish the same thing. Either way is much better than the stock Dremmel motor for this type cutting.
