    If you guys see some serious and blatant copying coming up in my project log on Bit-Tech (http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=159236 ),

    I want it understood that I have nothing but props for Dan. The level of explanation and the quality photos have much inspired me.
    So, I won Mod of the Month on Bit-Tech, I'm still scared silly about cutting the CF panels from Langer.

    Dan had a pic of a Dremel bit he used for cutting the PCI slots. I took the picture around and it doesn't exist in Colorado north of I-70. Lowes, Home Depot, looks to be similar to a slotting saw for metal work.
    NADA.

    Um, Not sure why you can't find it. Its a dremel bit. I'll try and find the number for you.

    Here you go. Its a High speed cutter # 199.

    I'm pretty sure I got it from my Local Lowes.

    But if you can't find it, Here is one place that sells them.

    You can do what I did to cut your panels out John.

    Put a jigsaw upside down in a vice/mastercraft clamping workbench (you know the one).
    Pop in a cheapo generic metal blade.
    Use the shifty assembly like a beefy scroll saw - I cut most of my carbon like this I'd recommend it.
