I think you could have used a few more cutting disks. Good thing you have them in quantity, I counted the use of 16 disks before the video cut out. Looks sweet though man.

I can't overstate the importance of reinforced disks... they last considerably longer and never shatter, so my eyeglasses and a mask are sufficient protection. Considering that at certain angles, Dremels do like to bounce around, and that I'm impatient and crank the speed way up once the wheel's worn down about halfway, this is crucial. Even the standard wheels tend to last longer, in my experience, if I go over an entire line first, cutting partway through, then repeat, rather than cutting straight down (from the top down, rather than the side on). A light touch works wonders, and it seems you've got that.

Great work as always, 'Nille. Coming along beautifully.

Personally, I prefer the non-reinforced disks - sure you use a lot more of them, but they're a lot cheaper so cost-wise I don't think there's a huge difference, and non-reinforced disks seem to leave a cleaner, more accurate cut. Long straight cuts, maybe then I'd use a reinforced one, but any curves or detail work, always the non's... I don't think I used a single reinforced disk on all of the cuts for Lobo... Damn I need to work on that case but I'm now at paint stage and the weather isn't co-operating.....

It goes on and on

the result

In the morning I bought some new cutting disks, some of the not reenforced ones. 36 pieces all gone after a bit time. So I went to an other shop and bought some reinforced and some other for reserve.
But in the end I also prefer the reinforced. I got the feeling they dont get destroyed as fast as the othe ones.

Nice and simple, yet good and strong and very clean looking frame, the build is looking great so far .

Auzentech are the best with the high quality components used and even better since they got the x-fi license making them THE best soundcards. Now if only ATI bought into the physx license, but maybe nvidia are taking the mick with the price, I imagine they are.

Ooooh, I like the 100% modular psu.

I'd expect a hdd to cook inside an eclosure like that though, even if it is the green version but can't say for sure.

For dremeling large not so detailed areas I prefer reinforced discs, for detailed areas I find the cheaper thin 0.64mm brittle ones great, sure they easily break but if careful you can achieve pretty good detail, but lately I seem to prefer using reinforced discs close to where I want it and then use files, as I hate getting covered in metal dust and looking like I've been antiqued lol, I'm still waiting for my reinforced discs and mandrels to come from the us before I start on a final front panel for the air cube v2, for 20 dremel brand reinforced discs in uk is about £24, from us none branded and just as good about £10 for 100 but I found the hole is too big for a standard mandrel so I'm waiting for a batch of them too, I'm itching to get started on it .
