Thanks, mate~

I kind of figured that. I was simply curious if there was a dedicated bit that could be used for such precision line-cuts such as that. Even though the Cut-Off Wheels use nicely for that sort of purpose, some of the smaller cuts will be hard to manufacture. I was going to post a picture or two of my first circle-cut, but the forums require me to have 15 posts, and I'm not the type of person to spam. Maybe later.

So, aside from that, I appreciate your bluntness by saying "Prepare to be saddened." But, I'm sure I'll find another way around it by snapping a few bits into my arms. ; ; It's a big learning experience, but I'm a smart guy who plans on expanding from a single showpiece or two, in to a whole shop.

I've seen 'High Speed Cutter" bits (that look like some sort of crazy Drill-Bit) be used for rounding corners, so I'm sure another bit will give me an effect similar to what I'm looking for. I thought about using the "Drywall" cutter piece to try and attempt what I'm looking for, but alas, I'm fearful of snapping the bit and piercing my arm. I'm a very careful / paranoid person. I say this, because I'm only cutting through ABS Plastic, and I use my cut-off wheel like I'm trying to un-embed it from titanium, and the slightest wrong move will snap and shatter it.

I have a wide imagination, and a lot of ideas, so I hope you guys will welcome me when I start getting in to the more case-y mods. I plan on doing much more than PC Cases, though. ^^; So, look out, and thanks for the reply. I appreciate it, it was almost encouraging. Heh.
