Very nice tutorial. It is very helpful for those first time modders. I seen plenty of window mod tutorials but none that are video!

What other tools could you use to cut out the window hole other than a jig saw (or band saw)? I used a jig saw before (with wood though) and I can easily say that my cuts are anything but straight, especially around corners and curves. I guess you could use a dremel but that would take ages, eh?

You could use a dremel with the router attachment?

Also, is there another purpose for the u-channel except for covering the ugly/sharp edge?

Another great video from mnpctech.

Cutting a window using a rotary tool takes forever and the heat generated can warp the metal.

Not sure if using a router attachment would work well on a rotary tool since you would be cutting through metal and not something softer like drywall or wood.

Thank you guys!

Dremel's Router Attachment is intended for slotting, grooving, sanding and trimming edges. You'll need a heavy duty Router with a straight carbide blade for cutting metal.

U-channel is primarily used for covering edges.

Thanks for the reply.

What counts as a heavy duty router? You could use a dremel and get a straight carbide blade/bit for it. No?

Every time I watch these videos I'm reminded that I need more tools. :)

2 - 2-1/4 HP would be good for cutting sheet metal with a good carbide cutting tip for metal.

You can never have enuf :)

Wow thats a great video ! thanks

For the fellows that have never used a router (please use extreme caution)
There are bits that are actually called (the Widowmaker)
It is very easy to take a finger off, almost easier than a table saw (if you are not carefull)

heey thanks for the link heps a whole lot! just started my old dino case today and im gunna make that look right nice when im done
