My first ever case mod attempt i didn;t take out my mobo when i was cutting the hole in the top of the case, i went to power it up and all the little aluminum bits made a mess out of the contacts... in retrospect it was a bit stupid....
lol, ya that would do it. i prefer using one of those bimetal hole cutters but not the ones that are completely round the ones that kinda look like a milling bit they work awesome. perfect circles everytime
ouch, hope that doesnt happen again, lol our teacher got mad at me when the bansaw blade broke, (it broke once and we had to wait a month to get new blades in, then the first day i used it turned it off and walked away, as i was walking away it broke lol)
I've actually stood there in shock as someone literally cut three of their fingers off while using a bandsaw. Unfortunately there was nothing I could've done when it happened, it only took about 2 seconds to wipe his fingers straight off. By the time he realised what had happened I had my phone out and was on to the emergency services. He seriously didn't know what had happened untill about 30 seconds after he lost his fingers
This was years ago, before camera phones were cheap enough for school kids to get hold of. No he didn't get them put back on
5000 rpm on a 80mm tool. Thats just wrong in so many ways, especially if it was a steel case (looked like it). Im a machinist, and would have done it in a different matter. What you should have done was put a piece of wood under the hole, clamp the whole thing directly to the table and used a more suited rpm. (i dont know what tool you used, so i cant reccomend a spesific rpm.)
