If you're interested in porting your own cylinder heads,
Princess Auto
Has electric die grinders on sale for $68(can)
PowerFist brand very simular to the picture.

 

And they might even last long enough to do a port.

 

I agree with the above statement, no flame intended but princess auto tools usually blow

 

my princess auto die grinder works good.

although yea, most of their stuff is junk.

 

I think their anvils are ok.

Bought a "heavy duty" sping compressor for coilovers that scared the bejeezus out of me.
The whole thing started to bend badly, sorta like a bomb ready to go off. That was returned.

500 ft lb impact wrench couldn't take off lug nuts I knew were tq'd to 100. That went back.

Paint gun on first use disolved the teflon like liner inside using primer. Made a hell of a mess all over a brand new fender. That went back.

At least they have a good return policy.

I wonder how many cows have been electrucuted by their heated watering buckets.

I no longer buy their tools.

 

I don't think I'd want to use an electric die grinder for porting anyway. Air tools are so much smaller and lighter weight.

 

oh for sure, but that $600 compressor to run the light cheap air tool is what stops me...
I'm saving up for one though... (but without 240V in the garage, i'm kinda limited...)

 

You can rent an air compressor instead of buying it.

 

Well its still going strong.

I use the electric die grinder for the major work and I like a air die grinder when using long shaft cutting bits for deep in the intake port.

 

who is that?..lol

 

DAZ!! What' sup, Gup? That is Steve, a bud of mine from here in the Falls. Rod knows him too. We're porting up a set of my infamous budget Killer 305 heads for his dirt car. (Go Budget Car!!!)

 

It's Encino Man, straight outta the ice!

 

Well Encino man has been torture testing this die grinder for a year so they can't be that bad. They are on sale again

A good buy if you're interested in home head porting.
