nickyboy Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I'm hoping to cut a hole out of my single din empty tray under the radio for the RLTC digi adjuster - it's exactly the same height as the tray. So a view from above of the tray would be something like... [edit that didn't work - stars fill empty space and try again!] ------------------ l ************ l l*** ______ *** l l___l ..RLTC... l___l Has anyone done this and what's the best tools given that I have very few?

Big Ads Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Do you know the diameter you need to cut? i maybe able to provide u with the correct hole saw. this should do the trick. No idea what that diagram is supposed to be tho!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 whenever im cutting plastic, first of all i score resonably deeply with a knife and ruler, then to be honest rather then cut (because that can cause that white plastic effect) i heat up a knife and just run it down the scored line, like a knife through butter. someone may have a better way tough and depends on the plastic and size of cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Dremmel is the only way if you want a good finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ads Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 what shape hole are you cutting?? sorry i presumed round. Will the digi adjuster overlap the hole ur cutting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickyboy Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Right! Apologies for the diagram before - it looked good in the preview box! Tried again... Scoring is a good idea that I prob would have overlooked so that's a definite start!!! I've never owned or used a dremmel - worth getting one?
