One more question does anybody know what the redoctane cases are made out of. I have one now but I have no clue what it is actually made out of. I read OSCAR's post about chisseling out ~1/4" on MDF but I have no idea if mine is particle board or MDF a guess a easy way to figure out would be to start chisseling but I just figured I would ask and I dont really have the time to get going on in untill saturday anyway. Thanks SlicerD |

Well I've been working on my redoctane stuff over the weekend. I got some chisels for 10 bucks at the Home Depot. They worked pretty darn well if I say so myself. Being that you can only get in at a low angle from one direction kind of sucked. But I eventually took out 3/8" with will leave me with 1/2" thinkness with the mdf and lexan. I would say I worked on it for about and 2.5 hours. It would have only taken an hour but I decided to go for the extra 1/8" and that took another hour. Then I tried to get it as level as I could and it seems to look pretty good. I can feal a couple low spots but 95% seems to be perfectally level. All in all it is a good way to go if you dont have a router. And almost the only way to go if you have a redoctane case. I'm going to post a little review/how to for the redoctane stuff later with pics so anybody that is interested and wants it right now can PM me other wise it will be up in a week or two. Slicer_D ;D P.S. Here are links to oscars original stuff.
