front bumper help

[dirisec]

OK, im almost done with my turbo ES, but I need to know a good tool for cutting the bumper & bumper cover to fit my FMIC, any help is apreciated.

Cutoff wheel on a Dremel works pretty good for the bumper cover. It's small and easy to control. You're going to want something tougher for the bumper - maybe a cutoff wheel on an angle grinder.

Air tools FTW or a dremel works.

Ok I have this drill bit that looks like a torture device... Its used to cut out shapes in sheetrock.

It has a drill bit tip, but down the shaft. It has these cutting teeth, So you can drag the bit sideways. This Bit can be found at almost any hardware store for dirt cheap. and will make Very short work Trimming that cover. BECAREFUL! It likes to wander, so Take your Time and cut SLOW! I used a corded electric drill, and had 3 ppl hold the cover. since it likes to vibrate Badly when your cutting.

When I trimmed my cover thats what I used, along with a Carbide Porting bit. Then finnaly a Drum sander, 120grit to finish the egdes.
The edge comes out Perfect if you take youre time and Cut Small Amounts at a time!!!

Doug is talking about either a side mill bit, or more likely a spiral saw bit. (or blade)

best thing to use would probably be a die grinder. its kinda like a dremal but it an air tool. cuts alot better.

These are similar to what I used. I have some, but couldnt find them to use in my dremel.

This can be used in a Drill...
Robert Bosch Tool Group XB-DW2 2PK 5/32"Drywall X Bit

But what I cant sem to find is this bit I have in hand atm and used to cut the large portions from the Bumper cover...
All it has stamped on the side is MIBRO HSS.
Its gold colored with Long straight lenghts of cutting teeth.
