Porting, You get what you pay for

I hope the end results will be positive. Looks like a bad deal. There are always two sides to a story. Pictures speak for them selves. Who ever done the work, SHOULD STEP UP AND MAKE THIS RIGHT.

No, it really does not

There are a few videos around with different guys turning popups on those pistons

That being said, it does kind of narrow down the field a little

Then i will stand corrected if its someone else.

 

[jake wells]

well at least it isn't covered in blue goo.

 

[DSS]

If it's who I think it is, there's very little likelihood of him admitting any fault.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[sawmikaze]

The pop up says it all

No it doesnt , theres alot of guys who cut a pop-up for those saws.

Were you implying it was brad ?

Is it a 562xp?

Was the initial failure the fault of the builder?

That's not Brad's work.

I've never seen one of Brad's saws with a rough finish on anything.

Then i stand corrected, and thought wrong.

Ok my comment was a little off base. But that was my first thought, but was obviously wrong.

There are some that don't advertise or do a lot of it.

I've got a 460 cylinder here that looks just like it but calling a porter out on a public forum isn't a good idea.

This is a business to me and the guy who done it I'm sure,all of us have had one get away but taking food from a man's table isn't the way to handle it,the owner and the builder need to settle it in private and if he won't make good maybe throw a little mud then. All of us have built saws that we wouldn't want taken apart and posted up. Do a hundred or more a year and you are gonna have trouble once in awhile.

Sub'd... but still just stilling here watching...

I figured out who it is. I'm not telling though.

I agree with this........

But at this point no names have been mentioned, and the conversation is civil.

 

[cgraham1]

Is that really considered a port job?

No names have been mentioned. Sometimes it is ok to handle business in public. Most often not, but I think this could be one of those rare times.

What else is the guy supposed to do? You think the builder would make right on this? He hasn't the last 2 or 3 times now has he?

But yes, 99% of the time, handling it in private is the right think to do. But about that 1%...
