Delphie Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 After some quizing I can finally write in this forum! I am also building a G5 mod and have come pretty far, only needs to cut open the rear IO panel, so I need to know more about what tools are needed for this. Do everyone use some kind of electrical tools for this? I only have manual tools (driven by raw power of man), have anyone tried that? edit: I only have a tin shears (I believe is the name in english) and a metal saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eelhead Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Will I used a small handheld jigsaw with a metal blade to do my big cuts and then I used a Dremal tool with metal cutting disks for fine cuts. You can try a handsaw as aluminum is soft but electric is the way to go for fast cutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCH Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Definitely you need a Dremel (doesnt have to be "Dremel", you can get a cheaper brand). With a handsaw the case would probably bend if you are not careful enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
