Hmm...iznt that a waste of time? Gonna drain ur energy too

I'd rather recommend 2 @ least get a cheap rotary tool 4 dis job

now tht is old school~

Nolah where got drain energy. Drilling is so easy jz let ur drill do it's job dun nid to use strenght.

Haha...still also it can be said as easier way. Much more troublesome

I lazy bring out jigsaw. Anyone got other ways to do a blowhole??

can get a hole saw the size of 120m ...bt very expensive..the last time i cheack was like 80bucks for that....bt i makes perfect circle...downside is u need a powerfull drill if nt u need to use a lot of strenght....

Nolah holesaw meant for low torque low speed lar. Dunno wat u toking bout zzz. I got 80mm holesaw slowly cut oso will cut through and better coz less jagged edges.

eh i thoght u need torque??i wuzent talking bout speed lah... i meant u really need torque for a 120mm hole saw..so big..... and if u do it slowly the meatls become dam hot...i use a layer of vasoline and lotion on the area im goonacut..then i put abit of vasoine on the hole saw...then it cuts smootly and very liitle damage to the paint around the hole...

first time cutting, quite nice, how long did it take u 2 do it?

lanevochris,

that blowhole reminded me of my first top blowhole mod.

Because my Hole SAW backed out on me, i had to use the drilling method just like the one u used....

filed it and put a rubber lining...

now it looks ok..

but because of the heat and pressure, the steel is not as smooth and flat as it was before, got a bit of lumps...

Hmm my casing should be ok bcoz it's quite thick casiing

It's due to the pressure u applied while drilling. And somtimes too high speed also may create those lumps

yeah bombman, i noticed that too on my 2nd mod, so i have decided if i wanted to mod i wud dismantle the part first and do it slowly and as gentle as possible...

hehehe.....

Any solutions to prevent those lumps , vasoline ? helps ??

@ZAHRI
vasoluine helps reduse the heat from friction abit lah..so lehh damage ...bt u can use wat ever u think will keep mois the area ure cutting...hell ive even seen people use aloe vera gel... very nice smeel later thogh haha,....

There's a cooling liquid milky white in color which I saw was used during milling & drilling @ big workshops. Not sure exact name or where 2 get

But just doin' da work slowly is more than enuff. Sumore we arent gonna drill 2cm thick metal blocks rite

that cooling liquid milky white i think can find form the hardware shop.That thing was a type of oil, so when u bought di, then u balik add some water by yourself. I knew all those things coz last 2 months i worked with my uncle's S/S factory.

During that period of work i managed to get my uncle's help to help me making a blow hole at my old microATX casing using this thing:



Its called a plasma cutting machine. Damn fast and nice round i get form that ... But its kinda dangerous seeing fire sparks blasting everywhere.

Owh~~...but didnt managed 2 find here in Penang. Or mebe I should ronda even more

'd be helpful if knw the exact name. Oil? Could dilute w/ water?

Evrythin' also dangerous; even drill vry dangerous. It takes understanding on how 2 use any tools safely. Then u'll be safe too. Vry untung lah ur uncle got factory
