I feel very stupid asking this question.
I got a Dremel 300 kit, it comes with these cutting blades:

How do I attach these to the dremel? I scanned all over the manual and couldn't find info on it. There are a lot of stems comes with it and non of them seems to fit.

there is a spindle with a screw in the end, you unscrew and put the screw through the hole in the disc then screw back in

You'll be happier with the HD/fiberglass reinforced blades as they don't break so easy and last longer.

Do you think it will be better for cutting through steel? I am planning to cut some holes on the mobo tray for while management. And might also cut a hole on top of the case for rad.

I prefer them.
Haha, I used that to cut out a hole for a fan on top of my Aluminium Lian-Li, I used up like 2 of those for just an 80mm opening. But for your job I think this will last for just enough.

I used up 2 fiber glass and 3 brown ones for cutting holes on my steel Armor case :O. They burn up fast like jokes.

personally i prefer the brown sanding disks just because they are cheaper and i break the disks easily (reinforced or no reinforced):up:

the reinforced discs have a good cost for the work-time they provide.
I "destroyed" my case with them.....much better,stable and stronger than the regular ones.
There is,of course, some PRO discs,but expensive ones. Like speed-click and others.
Here in Brazil we find them in websites like "e-bay". They are metal blades kits, for glass,marble and metal cutting.
Try to find out.......

The reinforced ones do last a while longer, though I'm not sure if it really evens out with the increased cost. I like them just because I don't have to take the time to change out every 10 seconds like with the non-reinforced ones.

I can not stress this enough...DO NOT PUSH ON THE DREMEL, LET THE BLADE DO THE WORK! Pushing is the biggest cause of rapid disk use or breakage. I've had the fiberglass blades last me for hours of modding use. I've said before that learning to use a Dremel is easy, mastering proper usage takes years.
