Pfffffffft, blue is my favorite color,:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
Yes I understand Foredom's are the very best. If I did alot of grinding I'd get one but my grinding goes no farther than the house here.
I've found that Dremel cutoff wheels reach into the upper transfers just fine. . . The rest can be reached from the bottom w/ a straight tool.

That one looks like the same one I got, just differant name. Good price on that kit. MT should be in pencil grinder heaven now,

This is the Dremel 9903 I use mostly.
Does anyone know where I can get a similar shape bit in 3/32-2.35mm?

Dotco do an angle head version that retails around US$440
I looked into what was available a little while back and CC Speciality probably make the best tools for porting, but $$$$$$
Here's a crappy picture of mine seeing as this has turned into a piccie thread (sold under the Toolex brand here)
There are half a dozen manufacturers in Taiwan that turn out the vast majority that are sold in up to a dozen configurations and all seem to be well made for casual use.

Won't the Dremmel take 1/8" Al ?
I had to bodgy a Dremmel collet to get those silly little 3/32 burrs to run in my 1/8" grinder

Rick, My dremel will take both 3/32" and 1/8" with chuck that I'm using.
It's for my contra angle for doing the upper transfers that uses the 3/32" bits.
I have a range of 3/32" bits, but they are all a little too bulbous.
I have one bit that I use, but ideally a bit similar to that Dremel bit would be ideal for the uppers.

Al, is the angle attachment a Dremmel or something else ?

Al, have you tried the Dremel reinforced cutoff wheels to get into the upper transfers?
The Dremel wheel ID# is 426, the arbor ID# is 402.
If not, view these folks site, I'm sure they have the bit you need. http://www.monstertool.com/monster_tool_burr_monster.html

I'll vote for the Fordham, I've used one for years doing motorcycle heads.
The biggest advantage was dragging it inside to the kitchen table on them cold nights.

Rick, this is the contra angle that attaches to the dentist motor (electric).
I have to modify the shaft of the burr but that is easy to do.
It only does 25,000 rpm but with a small cutter it is fine.

Nate, what I was finding was I couldn't get in as far as I wanted to.
I was leaving angles, to me shouldn't be there.
For instance when you angle the trans toward the inlet, you could only go in so far, so you were left with two angles instead of taking that angle to the rear of the transfer and the same when raising.
I went back into a cyl I did previous and it looks so much better.
Just a tip, those little mirrors on the rod/extension watchamacallit thingy's are great for checking out your uppers.
Thanks for the catalogue mate.

Yeah Nate, that catalogue is awesome too.
I noticed the burr I'm after uses the same no. elsewhere also.

do they make a long flex shaft for a rotozip (not the short one you can buy from rotozip)?

Hmmm, It seems Dremel needs to step up to the plate and manufacture us chainsaw guys a special 90 degree tip for upper trans. LOL
I'm sure their 90 degree attachment would still be cheaper than a Foredom or CC Specialty setup.
Cool, yeah they seem to have every burr a guy could ever want in there. I found that company in Welding Magazine.

Dremel makes a 90 degree attachment, but I think it's too big for small cylinders.

Exactly, their attachment is waaay too big. They need to make a smaller one for us.
