I have three Dremels but at the moment have misplaced two some where .You can get it done using long bits to get into the uper transfers but it's a chore verses a right angle high quality die grinder on a flex shaft .

I actually did a clam shell Poulan once with nothing but a couple files and sand paper just to see if I could do it .Pain in the butt but it worked .

On a Dremel if you use carbide to cut through the plating ,chrome or hard nickle after that a high speed steel cutter does just fine cutting aluminum .You can actually use bits designed for wood as long as they have a high enough helix not to plug up .
