Hello everyone! Not new to the forum, but recently made an account. So much useful stuff on here. I had a question for you guys that port saws. I've been porting for a while, and am thinking about trying to start a little side hustle doing so. I've been using a Dremel tool with a flex shaft, with a variety of bits. Looking to upgrade to something a little more build for the task/reliable. I know foredom is a good brand but what are some models you guys are using? Looking for some descriptions of all the stuff a guy would have to buy along with a foredom tool. Thanks!
 
Vevor version of the foredom. SR model. 1/8 inch shaft bits, Double cut carbides(short and long ones cut down to be longer then the short ones). Tried a Chinese hand piece to take 1/4 inch that lasted a few minutes before the handle snapped at the chuck. Sandpaper drums in 1/8th Inch shaft, diamond burrs, rubber polishing bits which some people don't like them but I use them as the final step in the exhaust port(not everyone's popular belief)
Also a right angle hand piece.

It has been good to me so far 2 or 3 years with it. Doesn't get heavy use but when it gets used it'll be for a few hours at a time
