What is this overkill you speak of? What is that?

actually i lost my patience, got frustrated, and grabbed a sawzall. No, i'm not kidding.
this is a low budget mod. i'd have to buy a plasma cutter so it wasn't even considered. so far I have spent $0 on this. and it's almost done.

zero cost mods are the best

ok I forgot I don't have photoshop on this system, and i'm not using paint (I hate paint). so the full version will be posted this weekend. instead I'll just skip to (almost) the end. and post a pic of the completed housing. I will at some point work on the cosmetics of the system. but it's gonna wait till I have every thing else done. that fan hole is now hidden. the thumbnail is the box.

to be honest, after the sawzall so was I. it wound up about 1/8- 3/16 of an inch shorter than my my original layout due to a bad cut from that saw.

See Black knows there is no such word as overkill!

I wish i knew some one with a band saw. that would have made short work of it.
BTW overkill=using something that renders your part unsalvagable. like if I had fired up the cutting torch for this. or went at it with a cold chisel. (I did use a wood chisel at one point

)

Overkill to me= Corvette ZR1 Supercharged motor powered dixie chopper with a wheelie bar. (Borderline Necessary)

that grinder prolly made quick work that would be my first modding choice if I had one

**Blacksmith1** · 06-01-2011, 02:21 PM

it did, and worked very well while giving me an acurate cut. like I said it's what I should have started with.
if i ever cut a steel case in half again that's what I'll use. for aluminum, I'll stick to my dremmel. and the grinder is too big to cut fan holes with.
