Cylinder Porting station

[StihlEchoingHusky]

Ok I know this might be a shot in the dark. It might not be. I need some inspiration though. I'm hoping y'all will help me out.

What does your porting "station/table" look like? I'm not wanting to know secrets or actual tools your using just table/cylinder mounting methods.

Every single pair of pants and shorts I own are ready to bite legs off from flesh wounds. I've been looking at that articulating bench vise on Amazon but i don't know if it would be worth it. Any ideas would be great

Mine is like Tommy Lee in concert. I put my seatbelt on and my table and I start spinning in the air.


It’s just a bench. With a spinny thing hanging. I could do the same thing sitting on a stump with a cordless drill turning the cable

I was more getting at the fact that I'm turning my right knee on all my pants into plate armor.

Comfort, it's a good thing towards success. This will be different from person to person, and you'll need to come up with answers to solve your own unique problems.
I find it easiest to do the uppers especially with the aid of a porting stand. I also do the rough in on the stand. The finish work I find easiest to do freehand being the constant movement involved. I also wear a shop apron to keep out the grindings from my clothing. Even a good tune playing in the shop can help steady your mood. Also, all the tools I need to do the work are right there handy where all I have to do is grab 'em and go to it.

Those keep all the little parts and fasteners in one place so I can find 'em easy when it comes time.

Everything @Stump Shot said I agree with. My bench looks pretty similar to his.



I don’t have a cylinder stand, but I do have a small, crude down-draft table that I do a lot of grinding on. I also have a shop apron, a proper chair and some OptiVisors.

I feel like I need to mention the rather prominent belt sander. The belt sander (and bench grinders) are so close by because ultimately they will all be vented into the same vacuum system. That grey box under the sander is a metal shavings vacuum and separator. I have to wire 220 into this corner of the shop to get it running. No belt sander-ing of cylinders!

I prefer my vision of all you professional saw wizards having 2000 sq. ft. buildings with cleanrooms, Japanese or Swiss seven axis CNC machines (DMG Mori, Okuma, Mikron), and hawt secretaries.

I do/did, it's trapped inside my old chit canned computer.
Was one hell of a work bench for sure. I wonder what thread it was posted in here?

I would love to have all that and the knowledge to use it. For now however, I'd settle for pics of the hawt secretaries.

So not for base cuts?

Mine is a mess most of the time.

Way, way too clean and tidy…

So, just throw a cylinder in that box, push a couple buttons and, presto! Out pops a perfectly ported cyl.

I always thought the whole saw went in!
