Dremels for drilling aluminum?
Hello,
So i want to do some modding for my RC car. I’m planning on drilling out some holes and tapping them on the 2.5mm aluminum chassis. Can i get some tips on how to do this, such as what tools i should get or what techniques i should use. Also, can i use a dremel to drill? It seems more cost effective to just get a dremel if i can use that to drill as well. Thank you!
available for dremel (I have 9) are chucks which will hold any size drill bit up to slightly larger than 1/8 inch. I use mine for drilling quite a bit and I even have one mounted in a dremel drill press stand (dremel calls it a workstation). Taps for threading can be bought just about anywhere these days for normal sizes and more exotic sizes are available on line at www.mcmaster.com.
