Buying most of the high end stuff new is almost out of the question for most people, Keep your eye on eBay you can get some killer deals if your patient. My favorite brand is Dynabrade super durable and super pricy but I have gotten most of my collection for pennies on the dollar. like chaz I use the airframe drills a lot with Mandels or thread the cutter shanks. Be careful buying they come In several versions with different rpm ratings. I picked up the one in the pic for 200 in the box.. also bought this nakanishi it's super nice these are crazy money new, stole it on fleabay. Same with cutters once and a while you can find someone selling out and buy a handful for the price of 1. Dynabrade is MADE IN USA. although i'm not sure on the ones that say nitro, their automotive line, all the blue is commercial grade.

Porting wax, wd40 both work great to keep the burrs from loading up. IMO the better quality grinders are a lot smoother and thus cleaner cutting so less time finishing.

I like the CC stuff and don't mind spending some money on quality tools. Would the 2 stroke #10 CC kit get me going in the right direction for porting mostly outboard stuff.
Or can I piece this together with cheaper but still quality tools with grinding and sanding bitsLast edited by Baker343; 08-21-2021 at 10:04 PM.

Buy a good kit and as everyone has said .. lots of stuff you'll relies you need / want along the way ..
My kid bought a block of wax 2 1/2" x 4" x 12" at the flee market for $10 bucks.
I got a half a dozen tubes of Boing Lube from a bud out at "the complex" . No tellin what uncle sugar paid for that stuff . Only difference I can tell is ... I wouldn't chew on a little slab of Bolube ...
Tell ya the truth .. I got a bunch of "slightly" used lower unit oil. I dip my carbide in that cut off Flannigan's cup with about an inch in the bottom. Stays on pretty good and won't take off the bluing like WD-40 does.
I still like mounted points ... but ya gotta have enough of these guys too ..
I put a zip-tie on a chop saws trigger , and spin some of them on the side of the blade , in reverse .. with a battery drill to get the shape I need. They just dont stay that way long . Stones hold their shape and size longer ..

I own no less than 30 die grinders of every configuration straight , 90 degree , 110 degrees I leave rotary files attached along with cartridge roll and scotch bright slotted 1/4 “ slots I find grinding on them for 25 years maintenance is the key ,I also in multi hour jobs I wear fatigue gloves , I oil my air tools daily and for a long drawn out grinding job twice maybe 3 times during project , I have mostly 1/4” some 1/8” and one small dental size that I hardly ever use , I have had good luck with the cheap harbor freight as well as Sioux the main thing is quality rotary files not cheap junk they don’t live long are easy to dull and demand to much pressure to make the cuts the sharper name brand rotary files are super sharp and stay sharp , I start with very aggressive cutter with aggressive flutes , after the bulk of material is removed I move to a double cut less agressive tool then go to 50 grit cartridge roll , then 120 grit cartridge roll then finish with scotch bright maroon …Works for me …
good luck ,

So much useful info for Getting started in this Forum Pretty Awesome.
A common practice here is Rubber Gloves and a small fan on low to pull all the
crud that doesnt belong in Your Lungs away from the work area,its going to get messy no matter what You Do.
The Silica Sand or the Rouges are going to be evident in a Kleenex for sure after a bit.
Have been Bagging the Foot pedal to keep the small shards and dirt out of it for a little more Longevity.
Once You take one apart You will understand Why.
Walking away and coming back usually will shed a new light on the project after grinding for a while,
No idea why but it works here.
Patience is Key.
Its Just Metal or Aluminum for that matter.
Best of Luck.

do you guys run oilers in line with your air tools or just put some oil in the line run and store them?

I ripped all the "oilers" out when I bough this place... otherwise I have to keep seperate air hoses for anything I want to paint, powdercoat, or clean off.
I just put a drop of Redline Synthetic Air Tool Lube in the air inlet every time I use an air tool.
Let's just go ahead and make America great again!

can you use those sanding cones like above? seems to me theyd be slower but more accurate as they dont take off that much material? i guess it depends on how aggressive you are going...
