The weather forecast for today predicted rain in the evening, so after my regular weekly client call, I decided to try out the diamond cutting disc.


Oh, and it plunged.


If you want to try the same, ie. some cut and crop action, just go directly for the diamond cutting disc. Them diamond is king!


Successfully cut a 5 x 9ish cm hole in the S300 top frame (nearby the solid front end). Tried a bit with the grinding wheels, but found it to be .. meh. Probably nice for wood.

Gonna proceed as normal, and file and sand everything smoothly before doing the actual setup. Did a test threading of the CPU block with the tubes, and it was a bit tight, but worked in the end; wrapped it in a thick plastic bag to avoid scratching or cutting anything.


While I was at it, still no rain, I quickly decided to cut the middle / mb frame as well.

That diamond cutting disc really cuts into steel like butter .. smoooth. Max rpm is 30k, but I went with 20k, and it was totally ok.


Its roughly the bar thats located between the front end side bracket (that gets attached to the inner side of the top frame) and the second side bracket, which continues into the mb section.


Another task of filing and sanding it down, and then I might start building tomorrow 🥳
