What were Dremel Porting Bits?

Some one along the line mentioed some bits that could be used for porting heads with a Dremel. They were a smaller diameter shaft than the die grinder bits. Anyone know?

Anyone ported with a dremel? Thoughts?

the dremel would be good for little stuff. I plan on using a die grinder but then again I have access to an air compressor.

I used a carbide bur in my dremel with the cable. I ported both heads, intake, runners, and plenum with 1 bit. I got it at a farm store near me for less than 20.00. Dremels are just as fast as the die grinders , and a LOT less noise. Check some industrial supply hardware stores for the carbide bits they work much better than stones.
