Got that new Dremel:
- 1st: I used a regular 1-1/8" drill bit to make a rough contour circle.
- 2nd: I used the Dremel at 15 000 RPM with a cylindrical diamond grit bit to carefully increase hole diameter until a 1-1/4" aluminum backplate could fit inside.
I also used the same Dremel and bit to shave more edge off the acrylic windows.
