Smoking Dremel!
I hate it when a Dremel, especially a real, brand-name Dremel tool, begins emitting smoke. This happened to me today when I was cutting an aluminum case for a temperature controller that I was making at work.

Not to offend you, but have you thought about using the _right_ tools for what you are trying to do? I see you argue that a physics degree gives you the best of both worlds (electrical & mechanical engineering). So, does it really then?
I agree. I wish, however, that my lab had the budget for some of the things we need. Since we have to keep it low cost, I usually borrow sheet metal nippers (the right tool for the job) when I need to do something like this. However, they weren't available, so I improvised, and voila! A smoking dremel.
Also, using the right tool for the job is an acquired skill; something taught by experience, not something that can be taught in school. I am still young and inexperienced.
I'm glad to see the great detail here!. dab rigs
