So. I'm new here.

Just recently, I'd purchased myself a Dremel, and have been introduced in to the world of Case Modding. I understand that several of you have been doing this for quite some time, and some of you even earn a living from it (which is quite admirable.)

I've been practicing my dremel skills on several pieces of scrap, and aside from my horrible skill


My new concern is not cutting circles or straight lines, but arises with detailed work with the dremel. I hear you guys saying piece #542, #502, et cetera -- none of that means anything, so please attempt to refrain if you decide to give an explanation, and use more laymen terms.

Anyways! On the same piece of scrap that circle was done on, I've tried cutting lettering in to it, using a reinforced cut-of wheel (which was a stock one that came with the Dremel Setup.) And, the wheel itself is much too large to cut some lettering (even if it's semi-large [3"x5"] ) like the letter 'E." I'm not trying to remove block-letters from the material, just simply 'slot' the lettering in. But things like the middle dash line in the 'E' are much too small to fit any of my cutoff disk's, and I don't want to be saddened by hearing "You just have to use a cut-off disk until it's dime-sized." No, I don't own any other tools other than my Dremel, but eventually, yes, I would like to expand my operation and offer these services to people in my area as a career choice, and not as a "Hey, I know a guy that does this." and have a single customer every few months. - -' So, for now, only a Dremel.

So, help me out here, you guys are pretty swanky with this stuff. And if anyone would know, you all would. Oh, tell me how I did with my circle? ^^; I followed the MNPCTech guide for circle cutting. Thanks, guy.
