Pneumatic right angle pencil grinder?

[Gord]

Just starting out on porting and wondered what pencil grinder would be the best bang for the buck, - not rich but don't like junk tools, thx

The straight pneumatic pencil grinders will likely work ok for what typically gets done to a intake port, exhaust port and even the lower transfers. The 90* pencil grinder will likely be ok for accessing the upper transfers on larger bore cylinders but imo once you get into a cylinder with a 50mm or smaller bore the 90* head is to big and you won’t have enough room in the cylinder to work comfortably or get the results you’re after.
A 90* flex shaft grinder hand piece is considerably smaller.

Have flex shafts not being used but what is a 90* flex look like?

These aren’t cheap but are the most common ones being used by saw porters

 

[Gord]

So they run off of a flex shaft drive unit? Have they got a website I can take a better look?....eh

Thank you, U.S $ - don't think I can put that into my saw budget this month - but I see what you mean by quality, don't like cheap tools that fall apart- OLD SCHOOL, do have a lathe for decking etc but time to get moving into the next phase.
