the carbide cutting wheel on a dremel will cut through most anything. ive used it on steel, brass, copper, not to mention any kind of plastic.

I have also used my rotary on some fairly seriously thick steel and aluminum....you may go through a few wheels....but it definitely gets the job done....

.....and.....if you have not purchased one yet....make sure to buy a variable speed one.... some have just one speed....all out....if you are working with plexiglass...that can melt it....but a variable speed rotary tool will let you go slow enough that the plexi doesn't melt....

I have used a dremal before, and I have found that using the dremal tools with just a regular multi speed drill works just as well, although it can be somewhat awkward to hold it in the right position for all functions.

Greetings everyone... I've got a Dremmel Saw myself... ( the one I used for all my sabers ) It's a 14" ( the smallest here in taiwan. ) I've also seen another model that can enable you to cut at variations of degrees and angles. I think you can look for " Multi-Speed and also one that can cut through various angles. 30, 45 degrees etc. " People say: A Diamond is a girl's best freind... Well I say... A Dremmel Saw is a Jedi's best freind... har..har..harr... PS. I'll be starting the construction of my Twin Light Saber this Saturday. I've uploaded the blue prints at my home page : community.webshots.com/user/Roize1968Live Long and Prosper... Oopppss... Wrong Line... May the force be with you... Jedi Knight Roize.

roize, have you thought about putting some LED lights on your sabers? i believe that would really put the icing on a great design you have done there.
