I don't think a Dremel has enough power to do what your after. However there is a larger rotary tool made by several different company's mine is made Dewalt works great fairly inexpensive and will do what you need.

SOURCE: not cutting right - or at all

Depending on how much use the saw has gotten over the years the problem could be a very dull blade, worn out motor brushes, or a nearly worn out motor. The danger is that a power tool that is not working as it should is much more hazardous than a newer saw that is working properly.

SOURCE: hand jig saw stops cutting - makes whirring noise - then restarts

Jig saws are not made to cut through aluiminum espescially that size. That is really thick and it sounds like you have worn out the motor trying to cut it. If the saws are hot. Let them cool down then proceed but like I metioned before you are putting a lot of stress on something not made to cut aluminum even with a metal cutting blade

SOURCE: Door rubs on new tile floor. How do I fix this.

The best way to solve this is to remove the door and re-install it at the desired height. Last resort - cut jambs off, raise the threshold. cut the top off the door, reblock it and move it up in the jamb. Yes, I have done this before, when there was no room to raise the door. I managed a door shop and we cut and reblocked many steel doors at the top. I like to use construction adhesive to hold the block.

How to fix 1 inch holes in drywall

Wow all those answers are ok but easy way is to wad up a piece of paper larger than the hole-force piece of that paper into hole slowly not to force into cavity behind just slightly flush then stop-take a putty knife and float with drywall compound you can get a small container of that compound at walmart even-then repeat and sand between coats until you are flush and smooth-if there is a texture then on last coat take a roller and run it thru the wet compound

yes simply remove the drywall from both sides of where you are installing the cabinet then either cut the old pieces to fit above and drywall tape over the seam where you cutthe old piece out or get a new piece of drywall and cut it to fit into the space above alternatively you can try to cut into the drywall perfect fit which you would then just silicon around to fill the seam

My 2012 wall air condioner is leaking. How do I fix this and repair the drywall?

It sounds like the drain line is plugged where it goes outdoors, so water is backing up inside the unit until it spills over indoors. Clear the drain line.

You may need to cut a section out of the drywall where it's been damaged, then get a matching piece of new drywall to replace it. If you can cut down the centers of two studs, all the better - then you can screw the new patch directly to the studs on both sides. If not... at least leave yourself a couple of inches of drywall to stitch to - you can do that by screwing small pieces of plywood to the existing drywall, overlapping the hole. Then you can screw the new drywall patch to the plywood.

Next is your adventure in taping & mudding & sanding the drywall to finish the patch. Last, paint it to match the rest of the wall... or repaint all of that wall, including the patch. No need to paint adjacent walls, if your color matching is pretty close.

When you are drywalling , how do you mark the location of the electric socket ont he drywall yor about to hang in place.

You can either measure up from the floor or the piece of drywall you just hang and then measure over from the wall or the piece of drywall you just hang or you can put the drywall in place and I ball behind it and Mark with a pencil and then cut it out with a dremel tool and you should be good from there. You might want to use a keyhole saw or a roto zip and a Rotozip is the best way to do it but it takes a little practice in order to control it

What is the recommended drywall thickness for studs that are 24" apart?

5/8 of an inch is recommended. You may be able to get away with 1/2 inch if you don't really care, but i would check with the building inspector first

Can the hand-held shower hose be replace without accessing the plumbing underneath the tub? I can't figure out how to disconnect the existing hose from the diverter without cutting an opening under the...

No, you need to cut a hole. Usually an access panel is provided during the initial installation, either in the ceiling from downstairs or in the other side of the adjacent wall. But it's pretty easy to add one. After you cut a nice rectangular hole, you can cover it with a piece of painted plywood that has a trim piece attached to the plywood. The plywood is held in place with a couple of screws. When you remove the panel, the trim stays attached to the plywood. When you place the panel in the hole, the trim covers the gap between the drywall and the plywood.

Drywall hole

cut the drywall, square,from the center of one stud to the center of the next stud and remove. Now cut a new piece to fit and nail or screw in place. Tape the joints with mesh tape and coat with drywall mud. Use a ten inch broad knife for this. One coat of mud and let dry. Next day another coat of mud pull it tight this time and let dry Sand and apply desired texture

Leak in the shower is leaking water through the ceiling

SInce it is wet both under and behind the shower I would rule out the drain floor pan and drain system and think it most likely to be the pipe leaking from the mixing faucets to the shower head. Find studs directly behind shower faucet, n each side. Locate the center of the studs and put vertical lines up and down on the center line of the two studs closes to but outside the shower  faucet on each side. Approximate 6 inches or so  up and down for the height of the shower faucet (Valve, not head) Put Horizontal lines across between the two line at both the top and the bottom/ You now have a square.Using a Razor knife(Sometimes called a box knife, stanley 99a for example) cut into the lines of the square back and forth as deep as you can. Cut an x  acrossthe square corner to corner again as deep as you can . Lightly hit the center of the x until the drywall caves in . Cut the remaining drywall out for the square. Now while  the shower is running you will be able to see whee the leak is. Use pipe seal after disassembling the loose fiting or repair the leak iun what ever manner is necessary. Replace and repair the hole made in the drywall  with another piece of drywall, tape and joint cement. .
