Hey guys,

I was wondering what type of tool can cut me like a line but only a certain depth and width? So it doesn't go through the wood it only goes say 3mm or something.

Thanks

Sam

A straight line or curved? If it need be curved you can get a router attachment for dremels and buy a narrow routing bit.

if you need a wide cut though, go with a standard router. its a lot easier to control then a dremel for those kinds of things.

I want it about 2.3mm wide ( I think ) Because it will have EL wiring in it i also want the depth so its high enough to see but deep enough so u cant touch it sorta thing.

Cheers

yea, froget the router, go with a Dremel

If you have access to a table saw it will give the ability to lower the blade so you can cut grooves (thickness of the blade) without cutting the thickness of the material.

Bunnings has one with varible speed advertised for $89 at the moment. They also stock a few different models.
Or you could do like I did and go to Supa Cheap Auto and get the super works brand rotary tool. It was $25 and has a whole heap of bits with it and comes with a flexible shaft too.
