Suggestion for die grinder or tool to work transfer ports?

[weimedog]

Title says it all, looking to raise transfers a bit to get port timing back to stock...on 48mm and 50mm cylinders

A dremell knock off with a flexible shaft and a cutting disk will do it on the cheap.

The cc specialty 90 degree hand pieces work great. They are expensive though. The cut off wheel will do it but it takes forever.

if you want a good one get a CC specialties right angle hand piece but they are around $350. i just bought a foredom 56 right angle off evilbay i hope it is worth a $100 i read that these are not that great.but i cant spend 350 just to port my saws

Be gentle with that foredom handpiece. I know a few guys have busted the gears in them.

Which Foredom motor? Seems like there are several versions, Looks like the way to go simply because they exist in cyber space frequently enough to expect options & parts to show up on fleabay

i have the SR it is reversible but i think any of the foredom motors would be great for you. the reason i got the sr was i got it cheap.the great thing abought the foredom is there is tons of different handpieces for them

Thank you! Now to fleaBay....

 

[bluesportster02]

you will also need the foot pedal

 

[weimedog]

Looks like there are several auctions with complete sets i.e.

Does this one do the trick?

 

[weimedog]

Then the attachment hunt begins...

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah that will work.

 

[weimedog]

Looks like that CC specialties one is unique....a blessing in that its specialized and a curse because finding parts over time might be impossible. Looks like those Foredom's are used in all kind of places from medical to mechanical...so even though the money will end up close it may be a better long term investment. MAYBE

 

[mdavlee]

The cc stuff will go right on the foredom motors or even the harbor freight motor like I've got. Pick up a few straight hand pieces from srcarr and you'll be set.

 

[weimedog]

Good info Thank you!

I found a NIB Grobet (Foredom) grinder, cable, foot pedal and #30 handpiece on Ebay for IIRC $80. The Grobet is a rebadged Foredom. I didn't know what I was missing by not having a foot pedal. I had been using a variable speed box. I already had 2 Foredoms but I couldn't pass that one up.
