There's a time for this and a time for that . . . ISTR hearing/reading that somewhere . . . :Take it apart, go buy a tub of Oxiclean, and deyellow that poor machine at once! (If you can spend 2 hours dremeling the bezel, you can spend a day deyellowing it.)
When I quoted you, I noticed a couple of leftover words from a different version of the wording about the dremeling that threw the sentence out of kilter, once deleted, it reads just fine. Don't worry about it, I'll delete these last couple of posts & my p.s. to you. [] ]'>:?: I'm not sure what you mean.I fixed your .txt editing boo boo for you! [] ]'>
No before pictures, sorry. The LC 575 bezel is pretty different than that of the Color Classic. The lower half looks similar to the CC bezel, but it has a large upper half that protrudes up and to the sides. I actually found out that the lower half section is about 1/8" wider than the CC bezels as well, so I had to sand it down and round the corners. Here's someone else's picture of the rear of the LC 575, you can get an idea of how big it was before:Looks very good, have you got "before" piccies?Which part do you need to mitre?

I'm going to be making a vat of Retr0Bright over Christmas break. I'll be deyellowing my CC, LC, IIci, a couple mice, and a few keyboards.Take it apart, go buy a tub of Oxiclean, and deyellow that poor machine at once!

I think you mean "rabbet" the edge . . .No before pictures, sorry. The LC 575 bezel is pretty different than that of the Color Classic.

I don't know if you can tell from the picture on the back side of the bezel, but the edge is mitered about a 1/8". The whole bezel should be beveled, but since I cut off and used only the bottom half of the LC 575 bezel, it's not mitered around the top half so it doesn't quite fit when placed in.
````|____ <-- The edge of the bezel should look something like that.
Yes, that's it. But don't you use a miter to follow the edge and cut it? Maybe I was thinking of a router. Crap. Shows how much I know about what I'm doing. :lol:I think you mean "rabbet" the edge . . .
. . . as that's the name for the joint you've done in ASCII art (nice job, btw [] ]'> if I'm interpreting it correctly.
Yeah, the 550, 575, and 580. They look like a Color Classic on steroids.I think the two paleolithic 15" AIOs I've been toying around with must be 575s, can't remember offhand, looks kinda like a Big@$$ StereoCC w/wings?
Unfortunately I live in an apartment. My options are pretty limited. I'd like to do that. Like I said, I don't know what I'm doing, but I bought a Dremel XPR because it was the only one on sale. Couple days ago I found out that my XPR is the only Dremel that you can put an adapter on and turn it into a saw. 8-o I lucked out, this thing is crazy versatile. I bet there's a router setup for it, too. I'll probably go to he hardware store and take a look, maybe cash in on some of the holiday deals going on.Have you got any adapters to mount your dremel to a board for a micro-router-table setup?
Thanks. Although I think I might just use a large metal ruler and the drum sander bit. I'm confident I can rabbet the edge decently.I'll start a "Hacks" thread w/pictures of what I did and how I home-brewed a router table to rabbet some plastics the way you appear to need to do. Just gotta right-(down)-size some 10 MP piccies of the two projects.
Give GQView a try.Anybody know of a light-weight GraphicConverter type image editor for ubuntu on a 2GB RAM upgraded NetBook?
Not sure what you mean by a mitre . . . a mitre gauge? Google up and post a piccie and we'll be in the same page!Yes, that's it. But don't you use a miter to follow the edge and cut it? Maybe I was thinking of a router. Crap. Shows how much I know about what I'm doing. :lol:
Sounds more like a way to sand your fingertips off to me . . . check out:Unfortunately I live in an apartment. My options are pretty limited. I'd like to do that.

Congratulations on your first successful foray into the wonderful world of jig making and Rube Goldberg tool setups! Very nicely done with what was on hand, don't worry about the pictures, I believe you!I ended up using some C clamps to clamp down my dremel, then I used a stack of paper to adjust the height of my bezel. I ran it along a metal straightedge and rabbeted the edge. I think it turned out great for my little rig. It now fits nicely in the back.
