little question on case mod

[cy]

How did you guys put a hole through the side of the case? What tools did u guys use?

[Grimson]

I believe alot of ppl use a dremel.

little blurry, i use these tools to mod plus a dewalt cordless drill(12V&18V)


i have a 76mm(3in) hole saw also,u need a drill too

used the hole saw on this,only a little sanding needed to get all the sharp edges off

[cy]

do u know of any other way without using those?

[m4a2t0t]

not that i can think of.

do u have a drill,can u borrow one? the hole saw is only like $15 and the arbor is another $10

if u only need a 80mm hole the see the hole saws that size with a arbor

I use a jig-saw. You have to have a bit of practice to make a good hole though.

i was just thinking of that

Take a 5 mm drill and drill holes all round . Then you sort of " cut " the remains out with the drillbit . Just smooth up the edges afterward . Not the best but I bet you can get your hands on a drill

Hole saw. I like the one-piece ones without a separate arbor. I think it's McCoy and it's red. If you can gain access to a drill press, that's by far the best way to go. If not, you'll need a 1/2" drill motor. Use a low RPM with steady, medium pressure and hang on because it will bite. A few strokes with a half-round file will clean up the edges.

A 3 1/2" saw can be used for 80 or 92mm fans.

A dremel is the best way.

Nice tools m0a2t4t looks like the model up from mine, I cheeped out when I got my kit .

umm no

i use a drill,12v dewalt works nicely,18v one wroks a little better but the 12v with a fresh battery will cut through it like it was butta

none yet thinking about trying to find a 60mm 80mm and 92mm if they make those sizes is a 120mm too big for this drill i thought thats what i was told on here before.

[m4a2t0t]

u can fit a 120mm on that,it just depends on the arbor size

i have a 114mm and 76mm and they both fit on the same 3/8" arbor

i bought everything from lowes except the 114mm,i didnt know they sold it

u can get it here too

[m4a2t0t]

oh yea

when u try to cut a hole make sure to drill a small pilot hole first

[YARDofSTUF]

cool i'll head to lowes

[el bob]

I saw hole saws in the hardware store today

I got U hooks to mount on top of my case to facilitate a carrying strap.

I didn't get any hole saws though because no one was there to help me find the right arbor or whatever you use to attach the hole saw to a drill.

[YARDofSTUF]

my arbor is a 3/8?
