uscstaylor Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Hey Guys, I just go my SC armor yesterday and this weekend I'm going to start with the knees and elbows. My question is: What is the best way to make the slits in the armor to slide the elastic through. Any help or pictures would be great! Can one of the admins fix Wats to What's in the title, thanks Quote

Can one of the admins fix Wats to What's in the title, thanks Drill holes along the line you need to cut. Then, connect the dots and use a file for cleanup. Works great...

01Hawk Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I used a dremel but you need to be careful cause it can get away from you. The drilling holes/file method works and yields nice and smooth results. Quote
uscstaylor Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 I have a dremel and it does tend to get away from you if your not careful I'm gonna go to Home Depot and grab a good file and give that a try! Quote
TreeDodger72 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I used a dremel for my chin cup and I agree, it does tend to get away from you. I may try the holes and file method when my armor arrives! Quote
Griffin-X Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Trust me, it works. I love my Dremel too but not for that task. Quote
Darth Voorhees Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 You guys need to learn to control your dremels! LOL! Seriously though, i used my dremel for that. Slow and steady and it worked out perfectly fine Quote
Chex Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Sorry I was late to the party. Spend the last few days moving into a new place. But yeah, dremel. Quote
Gaunt899 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Dont be too proud of this technological dremel you've constructed.The ability to sand an armour is insignificant next to the power of the file. One error with the dremel and you'll regret it... 3 Quote
Chunk Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Drill out the pilot holes, Then use a rotary tool with a cutting disc & connect the dots. Use a small file to smooth out. 2 Quote
