Cutting vents out..
Hi..Im building the fujimi 458 and was wondering just what you guys use
to cut all of the vents. Ive heard people using dremels and grinding and such but have no idea what kind to get or even what attachment to use. Any pics or links to what i could use would help??

Re: Cutting vents out..
I'd drill small holes along the edge of the vents before making the cut.

Re: Cutting vents out..
Hello,
I drill holes to cut the vents... See some wip shots on my personal blog. http://gtziaf.blogspot.com/2011/09/f...talia-124.html PS. For sure you can't speak Greek, but I think images are help you... Also google translation, it's available via the site, so it can help... |
