Hi bro,which of tools that you want to know about? I hope we can help you out.

better give us specific tools u need to know

if to many tools at one time ur pening edi hahahhahaa

oca add a table drill to ur list.... this is very good for drilling screw hole or on some very hard surface.

This is serious,even joker also be serious in this thread. else u will end up having a dremel in ur mouth .
I would suggest this to be pinned if ocz do it extremely with self-demo.

Yeah,that's right.



1st & 2nd Post Updated.



Nice suggestions.
Well,don't only rely on me to give the infos as i am also still in the process of learning.

I would like all of the modders to contribute their knowledge and informations regarding modifications.

Dont ever use a grinder with 1 hand. eventhough it's not heavy and u "think" u can handle it. but accident happens, teruk padahnya. Lastime my dad's worker action ,rokok and use grinder. end up grinder hurt his face and arm. deep wound.

waaa really? i did that with 1 hand... thx god ntg happened to me...

the direction u hold the grinder wouldnt be a problem. coz it's stable . my dad's worker grind rough and sharp area.

drills when u choose a drill do make sure that it has a tight grip head to hold the bit

coz sometime like cap ayam drill thats it weekness when drilling a tick steel plate

ive had that expirience and now so so sad when i see my mobo tray

at least u dint drill thru the mobo plate together with ur hand.

i want to but thats not important and cant claim socso

buy a 10k insurance for ur hand. then get the 10k for new pc

All the tools are harmful,so use it carefully no matter how pro you are.

Its better to lose a case than to lose a finger,eyes,hands,etc.

rotary tools pro can u tell me all the accesories type and use

Will u lose 1 of ur fingers to get 15k and buy a new pc?

15k hmmm not enough bro

at least 50k kekekekekke

finger only leh..if wan 50k.....

any1... what's the best method for cutting acrylic.. i mean the tool needed.. i dun want to use cutter knife... coz to hard and need extra effort./.. if use normal grinder... will melt the acrylic... so what's the otherw ay to do that?

Try to use jigsaw with the wood teeth cutter.If you use the steel teeth cutter,it will make the acrylic melt.

hmm wont the wood blade teeth more gap compared to metal one then the cutting will be abit rough..not too smooth..for me u can use metal blade..but using slow speed..hehe

What do you mean bro?



Yes,the teeth gap are big.

I tried to cut a 5mm acrylic with steel teeth,it melt down the acrylic.I need to stop and continue again every time the teeth make the acrylic melt.

I then try the wood cutting teeth,it works fine without making the acrylic melt.

@omara86,if you are using a variable speed jigsaw,then you can try mfcm's method.

yes..you can use wood blade for cutting acrylic but use blade that has very fine teeth..check the label that says clean for wood not speed for wood..usually it has at least 20 TPI..my personal fav is bosch T101AO wood blade. If your jigsaw has speed control,choose speed 2-4.

miter saw? i guess it's only for woodworking..for cutting metal,use cut-off machine instead..

for drill press, i will substitute it will cheaper alternative,drill stand..

Thank you for contributing friend.

As i saw in the pictures,its a thing that attached with drill to make the drill become press drill.Do you have any idea how much will it costs and where can we get it?

I am using a normal jigsaw with full speed.So sad its not a variable kind of jigsaw.

If use grinder. u draw extra allowance for the acry to melt shouldnt be a problem. eg. 2cm u add another 1-2 cm for it to melt.

I'm not sure the current price for this drill stand..last time in 2000, i bought it during promotion in johor, it was rm143..not exactly like that, but still do the same job as that..try to ask from hardware dealer shop for power tool..you might find a few model u like..

Normal jigsaw will do just fine as long as you do it with patience..slowly but steadily..try to cut bit by bit,a little cut then back off until the jobs done..and use a good quality blade too..

Yes.I think the melting depends on the thickness of the acrylic.
Any other factor than can make an acrylic melt during cutting?



Thanx.
I tried to use the D&B Pirannha and Bosch cutting teeth for steel,its still same.The melting still happened.

@ocz
got brand new ah for piranha?D&B?
too bad urs cant adjust the speed..coz the higher speed make more heat while cutting..ive np cutting using slow speed

@map
yeah dats can be more cheaper solution rather then get stand drill..but i still prefer the stand drill..coz for metal cutting u need quite power motor to spin the tools like adjustable cutter or holesaw..i mean for bigger holesaw like i got 120mm one..tried with hand drill but not enuf power to spin it

I got only 1 piece for the pirannha.I bought around RM11.

Yeah,too bad the jigsaw is not variable speed.I am still funding for a new dremel and jigsaw.

that machine cost a bomb! at least we should use drill that rated at least 550W or drill that has high-torque rating..but our standard casing shouldn't be more 5mm thick..any decent drill will do..i tried once making a 120mm hole with holesaw using drill with some oil to lubricate the process

ocz, did u ever try using saw blade that was design to cut curve to cut the acrylic?

yup..iinmat my place the small stand drill oredi cost 3k..kekeke bout the wattage drill yeah i truely aggre..need to find hight wattage one..if not not enuf power btw u said u hv done making 120mm hole using hole saw..mind to tell me where u got?coz im findin holesaw with 4 1/2 "..around 114mm..but hrad to find locally

Haven't dude.
I did the curve also using a jig saw.I tried to use a angle grinder with a carbon cutting disc,but its very hard.

Can you show me the pictures of the saw blade that you mean? I think there are few types.

keep it up, bro ocz, this is good esp for beginner like me
plan to start mod my cap ayam case (bajet mod), but still dun know well about modding tools and how to use it

where i get those acrylic?

just wondering how much is one cnc machine cost

if can get the manual one is enough

can buy car la bro hehhehehheee
