I need to cut some circles in my case ranging from fan size to 8'' diameter drains. Does anyone have any experience with the Dremel Circle Cutter attachment http://www.mytoolstore.com/dremel/678.html? What might be some of the limitations on what materials it would work for? (Looking at cutting through sheet metal right now)

to cut metal but i know thats not a circle cutter but you can cut some pretty nice cuts with it . If you jsut needed one size liek for a fan hole you could go with a metal cutting hole saw .
You didnt ask all that though i dont think it would but you can use drill bits with that too if you had a metal cutting bit it might work i dont know . hope that helps
Yeah the problem is it is steel and not real flimsy either. I may go ahead and get the circle cutter and see if/how it works. The problem with a hole saw is that two of the holes are HUGE and the hole bits get expensive for large sizes.
yeah i was needing a 6 inch hole saw at one time the saw was like 40 and the arbor was 15 lol thats steep to me
