If you're cutting aluminum, you're almost better off to use a saw. I can cut through 3mm plate quicker and cleaner with a cheap little coping saw from Lowes than I can with a dremel.

Those will cut metal nicely but may take awhile to cut aluminum and aluminum gets super hot super fast!...good luck.

| I agree. You get all kinds of debris thrown at you when using a rotary tool. Make sure your arms are covered. That $hit hurts sometimes. |

With the battery tray and other thin aluminums I just ut the with my Tin Snips, much faster and easier. After I realized I could cut through much more then I thought with them I kick myself for all the time I wasted utting metal with my rotary tool.
