Hey guys,

I have a CaseLabs S5, and as some of you know, its 100% aluminum. I need make some screw holes in my S5 to attack a res to the side. My question is how would i go about doing this? Im following

and can i just go from the initial screwing of the small thing from the machine screwdriver to just slowly screwing the final screw i want in?

 

Or does it not work like that

 

Or is there any other method?

 

Thanks!

Personally I'd mark and drill the holes, and use nuts and bolts on the rear to hold it into place giving it more hold especially if the aluminium is thin for tapping threads into, I kind of doubt that though for caselabs.

drill it like any other metal/wood/plastic lol. its not rocket science just mark it tap it drill it done.

depends on what part is needing threads. most of the chassis structure is 0.090"

thick and can hold a decent thread, but for the sheet stuff, you'd need a nut/bolt for

security. 6-32 is pretty handy in 0.090" ally, but can't apply too much torque to the

screw without possible stripping the thread.
