Using a dremel to cut balsa

Ever drill 600 holes precisely?  Here’s a peak at an experiment of using a dremel for cutting out parts precicely.

First I made a fixture for holding the balsa wood. It’s basically a wide and flat clamp. You clamp the clamp to a work surface and then you are able to keep changing the balsa wood to repeat the same parts. I drilled 600 holes in it so it was completely adjustable.

This was used for prototyping before the laser cutter.

I think this is a great system for a hobby modeler as it allows you to make parts precisely and it’s not very expensive to set up.
