Shoot steel uses a dremel with a bur tool. When I bought my dremel many moons ago, it came with one. They work real nice for this if you have fairly steady hands. I have used a pretty sharp pocket knife and have also used an xacto knife as well. All work well, just make sure you get the cut good enough to actually make the cut, I usually do about a 2mm cut just to be sure.

I hate to be a bummer, but you will still have to cut traces with the new probe. I like the dremel. I keep mine on a medium speed so I can use light strokes across the trace that I'm cutting so it doesn't go all out of control on me. A good magnifier of some sort and a really good light source helps too.

Yeah thats what i mean, i dont want to buy a dremel until the probe comes out so then i can cut the traces to use the probe, i dont want to bother with the LT switch so ill wait for the probe, buy a dremel, then im all set to do those bum hole lite on drives lmao :D

meh, once you've done a couple successfully, you'll be wondering why you thought they were so hard, considering you still have any fingers left after your done, just kidding!!!
