Case Modder
|
I was working on a project a few month ago, converting a mac g4 case and painted it and did a bunch of other stuff. I'm reversing all of it, because now it looks like crap and starting this project over again. Before, I managed to get the backplate out... by drilling about 100 pilot holes and smacking it out with a hammer. Now the the place where the backplate was, looks horrible. It has half-vircles from the pilot holes, adn it's jagged. I've tried every file I have, but non of them work. It thick stell. Would i beable to grind this down with a dremel and a small drum sander attachment? I want to make it nice and neat, but i dont really have any very heavy equipment. Any advice? Thx in advanced.

if you use a dremel, dont use the sanding drums, use the orange aluminum oxide stones to grind ferrous metals (ie steel)
