I found that forcing it to cut made me go through disks like crazy. So then I just guided it along.

If you`re using the skinny abrasive discs, they will wear out fast with this type of cutting. However, that`s the only way you will get a smooth cut into those materials. If you use the little sawblade it will tear up aluminum or plexi. Try to find the larger diameter abrasive discs ( about 1 1/4" diameter ) at Lowes, Home Depot or Ace Hardware.

The reinforced discs will last about 4x longer, yet cost 4x as much. Don't push hard, let it do the work. don't put the dremel in the cut and have it cut continuously, guide it over the metal to make a groove that gets deeper and deeper the more you run the dremel over it.
