Yes it is nice to be able to put your projects INSIDE something isn't it? You know, to hold everything together so it doesn't flop around? Discuss the techniques here!
anyway a dremel is good too (probably better actually)... though I'm too cheap to buy one
Yay! I just found out my dad has a jigsaw and possible dremel (he isn't home yet so I'm not sure).
anyway...
1) what attatchments for a dremel are good for cutting? I only have screw ones
2) Are jigsaws better or worse for cutting plastic than dremels? (I have other attactchments for metal, wood, etc. too if I want to do vac. forming marshall's way )
P.S- only reason why I didn't post this in cutting screen hole thread was because I didn't want to hijack it
I'd advise against using a jigsaw on plastic (softer plastics like styrene anyways) as the heat from friction might make a gooey mess out of the blade. For dremel attachments, the fiberglass cut-off wheels seem to work pretty well on just about anything.
turns out I don't think I have a dremel , rather a cordless drill... I think. It looks like a dremel though. Can anyone tell me if a dremel accesorry has a square tip to the side in which plugs into the dremel (I can only find side views or the cutting tip so I can't tell)? (i think those are drill bits, but not sure).
If I don't have a dremel, could I use a normal drill to cut the button holes . Seems kind of rediculous, but at the same time it would be easy.

Drill press would be better for percision than either, handheld drill would work too.
yah... it seemed logical but I only hear people using dremels (which are basically drills... sorta) so I wasn't sure if something might happen to it (stupid me)
. my jigsaw is at variable speed to so that's good. I think superdeformed just ment on softer plastics (unless PVC is soft ). I probably will just use a handheld drill for my button holes. I'll probably use styrene and a jigsaw mainly because I doubt a jigsaw on lowest speed will melt it.
