Some guys around here use them. I plan on picking one up next trip to HF.

 

[P.M.P.]

I have not used that one was thinking of different one.I heard some good things on it from a builder he said it wasn't bad.

That's the one I have. Probably ported 35-40 saws.

I imagine it would be fine..a little less hp..prob bog down a bit more with a heavier hand..which you don't really need while porting. Lol

I use a different generic one. Love it and all metal. Really love the scarr modded hand pieces I got in regular and slim.

Think you can see it out of the way in back gound of this pic.

Are these pretty universal or do they only work with certain hand pieces?

Can you just buy the CC specialty 90* hand piece to use with this then?

Post pics of the hand pieces -- and the brand name (if that is possible or source). If not proper here, just PM me the information. I'm close to pulling the trigger on a "Foredom".

I no longer have a source for the generic #30 style handpieces. Oh well, it took me 20 mins per handpiece to make them decent anyway.

Somehow I always come to the game -- when its practically over
