Rotary Section

A rotary tool is a hand held power tool with a variety of rotating accessory bits and attachments that can be used for cutting, carving, sanding, polishing and many other applications. Popular brands include Dremel and Foredom.

The smaller rotary tools use high RPMs to maintain the correct cutting conditions for the tool bits. They have low torque which makes them safer, for freehand use, than the larger higher powered models or similar power tools. A wide variety of accessories are available for applications such as cutting, carving, sanding, polishing, and grinding. The carving (or cutting) bits are referred to as burrs and are similar to those used by dentists.

Brand of Rotary Tools
1 ) Dremel
2 ) Black and Decker
3 ) Proskit
4 ) Ultimax
5 ) Other china brand


Dremel is a brand of power tools known primarily for their rotary tools. The tools were originally developed by Albert J. Dremel, who founded the Dremel Company in 1932 in Racine, Wisconsin. In 1993, the company was purchased by Robert Bosch GmbH, and today it is a division of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation located in Mount Prospect, Illinois. Dremel's rotary tools are similar to the pneumatic die grinders used in the metalworking industry by tool or moldmakers.

CCFL Section

A cold cathode is an element used within some nixie tubes, gas discharge lamps, discharge tubes, and vacuum tubes. The term cold cathode refers to the fact that the cathode is not independently heated. In spite of this, the cathode itself may still operate at temperatures as high as if the cathode were heated.
Cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) are usually also called cold cathodes. Neon lamps are a very common example of a cold cathode lamp.
Cold cathodes remain popular for LCD backlighting and enthusiast computer case modders.

All you need to prepare is a sketch of what you want to cut, the dimensions and the material. PM me for more details.

cheapest fullset equipment?

Any idea how much would a 3 inch(80mm) and 4 1/2inch(120mm) hole saw would cost and where can I find it?


This post has been edited by dma0991: Oct 2 2010, 10:16 PM

any D.I.Y or hardware shop got it...

Branded like Bosch , Dewalt will cost u RM 100+ for 1 only . U can find ACE hardware , they might sell it

ACE the maximum they have is 3 1/2 inch, but looks crappy...hehehehe

Use a Jigsaw more better

I already guessed that it should cost about that much from the main ACE hardware website after $ to RM conversion..too expensive for single use
And considering I only have a cordless drill with a small chuck..getting a dremel should be better
Any idea how much would a Black & Decker dremel would cost and anyone bought it before at ACE Midvalley?

I checked some of the provided links and never thought that DREMEL MultiPro 395 is about RM 225 and Black & Decker RTX-1 is about RM 310..
Never thought that Black & Decker more expensive..

This post has been edited by dma0991: Oct 10 2010, 04:44 PM

wait for promotion. bought my B&D for RM210 only at ACE.

Some new model Dremel Rotary Tools more expensive than Black Decker RTX-1

hole saw find at bosch shop in jalan pasar.. they have it...

What is the that Hole Saw that they have ?

wat size???
last time i find there they dun have 80mm and 120mm around that size also no...

Ya..there is a shop at Jalan Pasar selling Bosch hole saws..went there to look the other day
Their sizes are odd..there are no exact ones like 80mm or 120mm..usually less by a few mm
The cost of the smallest size is already > RM50..bi-metal variant >RM100..too expensive for single use even though they make a pretty hole

hi guys, I'm trying to find honey comb mesh.. Do you guys know from who or where can I find it?

Use a jigsaw to cut the hole is the cheapest solution

They sell B&D RTX-1 at ACE? In Malaysia?

Yes, they do

Can you tell me what's the selling price?

I thought B&D Malaysia isn't bringing in this tool?

I was reading something around and saw this webpage... I LOL!!
Why? His acrylic hole cutter is a kettle cover

http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Paper-...es-for-fan-pun/

Anyone actually ever used this method? (is it really works properly btw)

This post has been edited by M1X: Nov 20 2010, 06:13 PM

The price range is between RM 290 - RM 350

Added on November 20, 2010, 8:59 pmIf u use this method , u may melt side acrylic of the hole. Normally ppl will use Hole Saw , Jigsaw or Rotary Tools to cut it

This post has been edited by limhongwoon: Nov 20 2010, 08:59 PM

I got it for RM 280.

Where did you get yours?

The Ace Hardware Malaysia website is crap!

Just go to ACE in Ikano or in Jaya 33, i got mine in ACE Ikano.

Thanks all.

where can i find power switch for motherboard?

garage sales sold those vandal type but rm50-60 for them is really expensive

cheap one will do, tired using screw driver already

thanks,

U already bought ur switch ?

anyone provide side panel modding service?

Budget ? Want a Water Jet cutting or Laser Cutting or Hand Cutting

i just want to remove the mesh from the HAF 932 side panel and replace with acrylic.
no need fancy deco...is laser cutting too much for this?

Do u have any power tools ? Like Angle Grinder, Dremel or hand tools ?

laser to much, rotary tool o dremel can d.

Anyone around Kuching know which/where hardware shop sells the protective-layer spray? I was at E-Mart Matang just now, I saw a tin of spray thing that says "anti-rust", is it that kind of thing? I actually just want to apply it on plastic surface, not metal.

Btw, I also saw a spray says "Paint removal", are those things actually effective against those factory-paint-coating, like those on desktop casing (glossy paint)?

This post has been edited by M1X: Jan 20 2011, 04:50 PM

Paint Removal ? Not use to remove paint of ur item ? It not use to protect ur item . U use protective-layer spray for what uses ?

Ha, that actually 2 questions above- one is about protective coat and one is about paint removal.

My laptop have some of it's part scratched or paint torn, so I need to re-spray them. I just need the protective coat to make them last longer.

The paint removal is a different scenario. I probably need it to remove the default paint on my desktop casing if I want to fix it.

If u want to protect it , u can use clear coat to spray 2 layer . If remove paint , u can use the paint removal or u want to sand it using sandpaper

Hi anyone knows where i can get pc modding services where i can clear some space in the casing for GC to fit?

This may not the suitable question for here, but I would like to know where can buy hand screw for casing?

Hand Screw ?? Or Screwdriver ?

Erm..those screw for casing side panel, to screw side panel without screw driver. My friend told me, that is "hand screw"

it call thumb screw...
sunbeam...acryan...cooler master also got this product...

Then any place can get it? I wanna use it for me old ATX casing

search "thumb screw" at garage sale, or try forumer "linglong"

The screw is like this one :
