Total tube-ular pentode

For those of you wondering about intricate cuts with 1/8th inch bits, the Maslow can handle it pretty well. I had to place 14 tabs on this to get things to remain steady, but a simple oscillating tool made it a breeze to remove. Not to bad for my first tube amp project :wink:

Beautiful! Iโ€™m a huge advocate of the oscillating tool to cut tabs. I use mine every day and it was $19 from harbor freight!

I picked one up for the maslow, well worth it! Just have to plan out tabs so that they always fall on straight lines.

You guys win. Mine is an oversized Dremil DC-60. Lots of power but a little oversized for the job.
