Dremel
rotary tools. Made in USA.

In-Excess had them for 0.80 GBP per tub but I did not buy enough tubs

when
they were in stock. Or a similar product say 20 to 36 in a tub, not the
expensive half dozen and a mandrel which are commonly available in model
shops. To cut the steel of an equipment case for a larger pannel switch,

or
whatever, takes 3 or 4 of them for one job.

But you might want to consider spending a few quid on a tungsten carbide
cutting wheel. See here (watch the wrap!):

Other than sub-mm drill bits in my Dremel its really only the parting off
discs I use . I do own a diamond-dust edge and faced disc but have never
used it, leaving it for some job that requires .3mm cut that so far I've
never come across a requirement for. Its far too easy to snag such discs
with hand held apparatus, but snap a .6mm grinding disc is an
inconsequential loss.
