Dremel works just fine on Aluminum - use the nice very thin very fragile abrasive disks and enjoy. (Not that you want to in this case :-).) http://www.dremel.com/en-us/AttachmentsAndAccessories/Pages/AttachmentsDeta= il.aspx?pid=3D409 Keyboards opened this way may never ever again quite look like Apple intended them :-). These disks are by far the most frequently used tool on my Dremel. Attempt to bend them a smidgen (especially at speed) and they dematerialise and reenter real space at many random adjoining locations. Place tool on bench and leave a while and you will break the disk. When cutting metals and abrasive materials the disks wear quite quickly. Apart from these minor annoyances they are a superbly useful tool. Happy with hardened steels, bolts, PCB, fingers (bone and all I'm sure) and more. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
