What dremel head is useful in cutting metal?

[Aaron]

i have always seen on here that everyone says they use a dremel to enlarge metal holes but yesterday i tried to use mine when i was installing one of my sidemarkers and it wouldnt make the hole bigger worth shit...am i using the wrong head? i used one that came with it that the manual said could be used to "deburr" and im wondering if i need to buy a special one...

CAI install?

Use tin snips (metal cutting shears) to cut the majority of the metal out. Then use the dremel to cut the ragged edges off. I learned the hard way and wasted $13 on a whole pack of dremel bits that barely did anything.

haha no not cai, sidemarkers...i had to get my dad to help me after i drilled a huge ass hole and all the dremel did was slip and take a line of paint of my car but he had tin snips we used and then i actually used a file to finish the edges bc that dremel wouldnt do shit...

Ah, ok. Damn, sorry to hear about the paint!

I'm considering putting some sidemarkers on as well...

i installed sidemarkers with a dremel. i made a cardboard template, lined it up then traced it onto the fender with a pencil. to actually cut it out, i used the heaviest cutting discs that i could find, the black ones. they broke every so often, but i had a small container full of them so i didnt run out. used the cutting discs to get the general shape, then used the sanding wheel, which is just sandpaper wrapped around a cylinder, and i grinded down the edges till i got the general shape. then i kept test fitting, grinding, testing, till they popped in and stayed well. i deburred the edges with a file, then used touch up paint to cover over the bare metal.
