Other Lets see your porting tools!

Who is using what for porting? Im looking to upgrade my current setup.
Any advise on what to and what not to get would be appreciated.
What i really need is a 90* "pencil" die grinder. They seem impossible to find. Ive found only 2 places that sell them and the cheapest is $569

This site seems to be top of the line. A little more than id like to spend though...

Harbor freight does not offer one, regrettably. I bought and used a NSK impulse na45-400 air driven, 60 deg. It is, however almost as expensive. Quite powerful, no vibration.

Dotco is the pimpest! But it does come with a price. Any local tool trucks snap on/ matco all have pencil grinders in straight or right angle.

I have a straight one. Can't find an angle for a decent price...

Used air tools for years. Even had old dentist type angle tools. Worked well but got tired of listening to it and my hands getting cold. Switched to cc specialties about 4 years ago. Took a little getting used to. The electric doesn't spin fast but it has tons of torque. Other then a slight learning curve I'd never go back now

I'm sure once I learn what to do correctly I'll go all out. $800 is a lot to spend

Oh yeah. That's my special porting. Call it the ring hanger.

It might be too late but I use an NSK 90° head on a Foredom adapter. The small size works great for transfers. CC sells them for $319 $312. http://www.ccspecialtytoolstore.com/right-angle-rotary-hand-tool-for-porting-p/182amc.htm

I have a Foredom TX motor and a few straight handpieces for direct work. Each has its own arbor to save from constantly changing arbors. I just swap assembled handpieces instead. I chose the TX over the SR for the torque. Reverse on the motor isn't needed if your 90° handpiece can chuck burrs backwards. Porting is a slow, high-torque process, and doesn't need RPMs. Polishing is where RPMs get used most.

(Edited for price update.)

That's one of the pieces I ordered. I'm pumped.

How do you like the new tools? How much money are you into your whole setup?

These things are awesome... Getting more comfortable with them every use. These darn carbide burrs are what gets ya. at $10-$30 a pop it adds up quick.

Has anyone done porting on 61x cases that was worth the time?

 

[Nuklear6]

YES. Not going to make any magic and make them good enough for 1000cc but def can make noticeable gains for the 701-771cc range .

Franky FX put an ss865 on 61x cases and they had some mega porting done to make it work
