I have tried to use heated pen-knife to rework/mod-work on some plastics part. Though this method can be fast but the finishing is bad. Additional finishing is needed as the cut-surface is rough. My process is a simple flame-heated knife (to shape or cut) or pipe (to reduce diameter). Any tips? or advise? or comments? To polish up, some cutting and shapings, I am thinking to load up some Dremel accessories, but the information on using Dremel to work on plastics is very lacking. Now I wonder is Dremel the wrong choice? If it is not so, what are must-have accessories to help shorten the purchasing process as well as to save some dollars and iterations. Thanks.
