Kind of hard to find the perfect piece of wood to fit into the small box.
(here comes the jokes.)
But I think I just may saw one off one of our 2x4s and give that a try..

When using a cutoff wheel, slower speeds generally make the tool want to grab the work and jump around more. Higher speeds (to a certain point) generally slice right through instead of grabbing. Drill speeds were fine for my application, but for thin metal and/or fairly long cuts, a higher speed would help with control. All depends on the material and what kind of cuts.

Interesting.
How much are the reinforced Dremel wheels?
Which one would I want for aluminum (more specifically, thin aluminum?)
It will be very precise cuts, to give you an idea, I'm just cutting a hole for a small USB port, so it will have to be a pretty small blade?
