BAD-CASS 45 degree short throw: need dremel advice

[Armadillo]

I want to buy the B.A.D.-C.A.S.S. 45 degree short throw switch.
I am going to have to dremel that extra piece of metal off.
I know it will void the warranty.

Can somebody explain what Dremel attachment to use?
How long will it take?
Do I need a vice?

PM, if necessary.

Don't use a dremel, just use a file. And yes you will have to take that extra piece of metal off in order for the safety to fit inside the lower receiver. It took me 10 mins with a file to do it while I was sitting down and watching tv.

Can you tell me specifically what type (grit?) of file to use?

I want it to come out perfectly.

Just use a standard Dremel cutting wheel the small fine one and it will be off is a matter of seconds. Then hit it with a jewelers stone of some extra fine emery cloth.

I have 3 of them on various lowers.

I know the rule of thumb is to cut the cheaper piece, and for a very good reason. But is the slot that would need to be cut in the lower so the safety would fit, too difficult or risky to make? Or simply unnecessary?

Unnecessary and risky. Just grind off the nub. I believe the nub is there for lowers that have the safe/fire markings in the correct location for the 45 degree selector, but correct me if I am wrong.

There is NO reason to chop up your lower, just about any cutting or grinding bit, or file will solve the issue on the lever itself.
