I was going to try and get a used cab from SuperAuctions when they were in San Jose, but I had a placement test to take during the auction. I made it there when it was over and saw the selection before much of the cabs before people had loaded them up, and it looked pretty poor for meeting my needs. So, I don't think that I will wait until the next time they are back in my area (Dec 4th). This does mean that I have decided to build from scratch!!! I already have some of my controls, and I know exactly what else I want (just waiting for some good deals). I have a general idea of how my CP layout will be, but I will probably play with it a bit before committing to it. I have the measurements of the cab I like, and I have someone who has a bit more experience with tools then myself to help, even though I am not a complete novice with a drill or circular saw. Now, for the reason I am posting this: In the event that I cannot find my answers by searching the forum, I'm going to use this thread for general build questions or those that are specific to my project. Joining the ranks sure feels good. ;) |

I have been looking into rotary tools at the local Home Depot, Sears, etc. and there are quite a number of rotary tools to choose from. So far, I have looked at a RotoZip and Craftsman All-In-One Cutting Tool. Can't see much of a difference between the two, and after trying to find more info online, I see that there is a whole mess of these things to choose from. So, I need help choosing the one that best fits my needs. First off, I'm in college, and will not be rich anytime soon. Second, this will get light use, but there are many things that I would use it for beyond this project. More specifically, it would be used for detailed work, like a small Dremel. On that note, I do like the models with the removable handle (Dremel, DeWalt) and this would possibly allow usage of this attachment http://content.sears.com/data/product_images/009/53099/00953099000-dlv.jpg for the routing out the slot for the T-molding. Does anyone have any thoughts on the different models from Dremel or other brands???? Also, what advantage would I have with an angled circular saw attachment that I wouldn't have with a jig-saw or regular circular saw? |

I own a roto zip. I'm not sure of the model but it is the red one. I can definately recomend it. It is very powerful and will accept attatchments and bits from some of the other manufacturers. |

Stay away from the low-end cordless Dremel, unless you also buy a second battery for it. Those things run out of power very quickly...... |

So, corded is always a must for me. Attachments from other manufactures are also of interest, so I'll check out the Roto Zip mozzer. |
