Hey, how should I pronounce your name? Because right now I say "Mashonka-wich" I know it's wrong.
Use a drill bit for speaker holes.

Re: Dremel Questions
Flat and slim sanding circles; sanding drums too. You can also use a drill bit then sanding drum. Finish off with small circular files (for buttons) and a large file for the screen hole.
For speaker holes, a small drill bit, about 1-1.5mm thick. And a steady hand!

Re: Dremel Questions
I need to cut large sections off the ZN-40 casing because I'm going to bondo in the screen case and I need to cut apart the controllers. Any other input??

Re: Dremel Questions
If you smell burnt plastic when you're using a cut-off disc, you're pushing it too hard. Back off and make your cut in several passes, moving slowly. The cut-off wheel really is the best for something like a screen hole.

Re: Dremel Questions
Should I use it at a lower RPM?

Re: Dremel Questions
In my experience, RPM doesn't matter. You may have to make your cut in two or three passes, though. It's really the exact opposite of other power tools, though. Torque and pressure is bad. A light touch is most effective.
