I think you’ll be ok with your existing dremel. I kept my black and decker rtx on the slowest setting.

Wow, thanks for the insanly quick reply.

What kind of rotary tool did you use? I’m looking for the brand or maybe just the RPMs. I found a cheap $15 12-volt one at a Habor Frieght and it the cut off wheel seemed to work except it took a long while and the wheel broke. I think i’ll find some better cut off wheels first and if that doesn’t work think about upgrading my dremel to the slightly better one.

Also, thanks a lot for the great guide. Oddly enough I’ll also be getting a RebalTouch case in the mail soon and may use your epoxy advise to secure the cable.

Thanks again,

Josef, I forgot. I HAD bought some bigger reinforced cut off wheels. You can get them at A harware store or Wal mart or online.

When I first bought my iPod Touch 2G I thought the case did turn into a dock somehow… I’m thinking about building this dock; however, I cant find a dremel or rotary device that has powerful enough cut-off wheels. What are you using to do that exactly? I bought a really low powered one but im not sure if i should get the more powerful one or something different all together.

Thanks,

i’ve been using this for my ipod nano 4g, works great! i now got it in an old box i still had but i’ll find something better soon. the hardest part for me was getting the usb connector to fit in the docking thing, i would’ve liked some more explanation/pictures on that. i also got the newest cable wich has the hooks again, took a while to get those off.
my problem now is that i have bought some cheap speakers, but the audio plug is too big. when i put it in my ipod, the sync cable barely fits in when i try hard, so there’s no way i’ll manage to get it in while in the dock. can i convert the plug so i only have to drill a small hole in my dock thing (the white ovale thingy), so it’s smaller and it will fit in the hole? thanks for the tips!
