best way to cut cart ?

Post by KanedaFr » Thu Jan 09, 2014 1:13 am

Hi guys,

I'd like to mod some genny carts.
What's the best way to cut them ?
I think it's a dremel but there is so many accessories for this tool...I don't find which wheel I should use !

And the best way to make polish cut ?
Cut the plastic then sand paper or again dremel with an specific accessory ?

I'd like to avoid this kind of ugly cut:

I use metal file or the dremel sharp wheel. Sharp knifes don't work worth a shit! :P :lol:

You may have to replace the dremel wheel a few times, and it's not for tiny cuts... that's when I break out the file.

Got this kind of limes at home, I hope it'll be enought

ps: funny, after so many years looking to the name of this strange plastic wire protect, I found it today by chance looking for info on metal limes + plastic => rubber grommet !

You can use dremel or file to get the big bits out, and then use knife to get really nice looking results. Nice sharp knife will make cuts that look like it was so from beginning.

Yeah, use the knife for very fine trimming at the end if needed to make it all nice and neat and clean.
