are u going to do it often?

if not why not get the service from other source.

the tools involved includes a drill for initial opening, a jigsaw to cut the hole and a filer to smoothen the edge.

that's like RM200 of damage just for a hole ...

wah? lololol...its just cutting the transparent plastic..not the metal..

whr can i borrow these stuff hmmm

gonna do it for ONCE only

laser cutting

cost alot ka?

well, u would need some luck checking out those in the worklog section loh

see weather they can lend u a hand or not ..

aiyo...i think i will just cut down a semi square shape instead of round shapped lol

in that case the most flexible yet not effective tool is DREMEL or also known as rotary tool which u can get for like less than RM100 for non branded machine..

that can help you to get going but it's not a easy tool to operate and requires lots of patient.

i will just use a normal drill and drill holes to form a round shape then use sand paper to make it round

take would take ages loh ....

yea maybe whole day oso.. lol...drill 1 per 1 hole to make a round shape lol...no money mah..what to do lol

hmm are u staying around KL ??

because there is one acrylic shop at Jalan Pudu Pasar that can do cutting service as well.

the service charge i estimated around RM10 - 15 for a hole..

no...i live at perak T_T

=="..... well either dremel or use the drill holes method ...

well some guy pm`ed me lol...man..

instead of using power drill with drill bit, get an adjustable hole cutter (rm1x at h/ware shop).. use it with ur power drill.. should do the trick..

my power drill is like....err..Those big 1 that we use to drill holes on the wall..will that work? lol

yes! but u need steady hand..

the item [ hole cutter ] is round shapped? I think im gonna get one!

round shaped 1 iinm is hole saw.. usually quite hard to find 80mm or 120mm one bcos most common size is 62mm and below (mainly used to cut hole for door knob).. while adjustable hole cutter is like drill bit with horizontal-slideable cutting tip.. i think got sell in mr diy shop.. last time i checked at acehardware & daiso not available.. all are puchong branch not sure with other branches..
