| What’s the best way to cut other pieces? From Thomas Avery: ! Use a Dremel, or any other small motorized rotary tool. http://www.dremel.com/Dremel.html The carbide cutting/shaping wheel is preferable over the normal cut-off ones. I think you can also get an accessory that turn your rotary tool into a little chop saw. This is great for making very straight and precise cuts. You may need to use a little sandpaper and a sharp knife to smooth the edges out. From Richie Dulin: ! I’ve used a cutting disk to remove the mask from a Darth Vader Helmet, the neck flare from a crown, and the bat wings from a Batlord helm among other things. I’ve also used it to make a notch in the corner of a 2x2 plate, so I could get a fine hole drilled right in the corner (to make earrings). A fine razor saw is a generally poor alternative -- cheaper, but harder to control, and much harder on the fingers. It’s a good idea to cut quickly, or to do intricate work as a series of small cuts - if things get too hot, the brick/piece you’re cutting may well distort. It’s also a good idea to wear eye protection. |
