Re: Electric die grinder question


That's the problem. All porting is done with 1/4" shank bits and mills. I do
indeed use a cabled Dremel for intricate work and I'd be lost without it.
for the big removal it's up to the big-dogs. I prefer my Dewalt# 887 and a
Makita of the same size. When on the compressor, I have six or seven
grinders that I leave chucked up with the bit I'll be needing rather than
swapping tooling. I bought a bunch of the 887's and they have little
vibration and I'm able to feel my work really well but they just spin too
fast. I should have been more clear... Sorry about that.. The heads are
Iron but mostly Aluminum. BTW for the record, my Dremel is about three
years old. I use it about twice a week in what would be easily considered
"above duty cycle" (and then some!) That tool has been abused big-time. I
tear it down regularly and lube the cable and clean it up and it just keeps
working and working.... By rights, that tool should have died a long time
ago. That is how tools SHOULD be made!

Thanks again,

Doug , he was talking about porting work on the heads , not cylinder
honing . I used a dremel unit to clean up the ports in a set of motorcycle
heads ... it was slow and underpowered but it worked . A Foredom type unit
with flex cable drive should be just what the doctor ordered , and IIRC
they have a built in speed control . Might cost more than just a
controller though .
