Tube Packaged Black and Decker RT1018 36 piece 15/16 inch Emery Cutoff
Wheels. These are very similar to Dremel 409 cut-off wheels. Use with 1/16 inch Screw Mandrel which is not included. 0.025 inch thick. Use with Dremel rotary tools. Made in USA. http://www.widgetsupply.com/page/WS/...wheel/XST5-RT1 018 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. |

I don't own a nibbler, which of course is a one-job-type tool anyway, so hard to justify for 5 times a year use |

It would take a windy nibbler to attack that panel in place populated with everything else around it - colateral damage from the vibration ?. An hour job each side , to clear the panel and then to mill out , alternatively, so a Dremmel and 4 discs expended is very much the tool of choice there. |

I don't own a nibbler, which of course is a one-job-type tool anyway, so hard to justify for 5 times a year use But you can justify wasting all those cutting disks, the metal dust and rough cut holes? I've worn out four nibblers over the last 40 years. I currently own two hand nibblers, and an air powered nibbler. They work fast and cut very neat holes if you know how to use them, but you'd rather screw up every thing you touch. -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense. |

That sounds like a job for an oscillating saw (Fein, Festool, Craftsman, Harbor Freight, etc). Just buy good blades - the Harbor Freight blades are OK on wood but their metal-cutting blades are wimpy at best. John |

John Its a long time since I used one but I seem to remember they require too large an operational footprint for this sort of use on "populated" cases - say an audio mixer panel with nearly all available space occupied by something. And then chance of colateral damage from vibration ? . Parting-off discs cause no vibration , they also give a clean safe cut edge with just a little break out "swarf" that a chamfering run with the disc soon rids. |

Looks as though I will have to buy 10 tubs , 360 discs, of these B&D from
the USA as not much different in price to one tub of the Dremel equivalent bought in the UK. Had another Google for the B&D ones in the UK and still nothing found |
