    I just used a Dremel tool today to cut the crossbars from my grill for the Satoshi mod. I wouldn't recommend using a Dremel tool for this project unless you have the patience of a saint.
    It would have been much easier to use a sawsall or hacksaw, neither of which I had readily available today.
    The only way to accomplish this task with a Dremel, is to use the drill bit and either drill individual holes, which takes forever... or start a hole and use the drill bit as a router, which does a better job of melting the plastic rather than cutting it. It worked, but it was frustrating and took forever.

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    satoshi is a one way option. no going back. I do recommend using a dremel for doing the satoshi. For just cutting out the stock grill center, yeah it was a little tedious, but the dremel is necessary for the fine cuts to keep you from sanding 10x longer.

    In my Dremmel set, I have a rotory cutting tool, Similar to a Roto Zip bit. It made very short work of the grill.

    i started with the dremel, then realized it was a pain. so i used a hacksaw blade which made quick work of getting the grill out. then once it was out used the dremel to cut/grind the remaining plastic flush were you will fill in with fiberglass. worked good for me.
