Mini die grinder for porting?
Do mini die grinders have enough power to do standard porting work on the irons? Or should I get a standard one with more power?
The main reaons I want a mini die grinder is because they're easier to be precise with when porting, uses less cfm (less interrupting when my compressor recharges), and its a bit cheaper ($25-30.)
If it matters, I plan on using carbide bits to do the port work.

I've always thought die grinder > Dremel ??
I have a mid-end Dremel but it likes to halt when I really start to grind on some hard stuff. and then makes some nasty rough edges. And from what I've seen, a die grinder just shrugs it off and seems to have so much more power and speed to make smoother ports.

I've always used my dremel and the cheap stones to do my porting. I finish them up with sanding drums and a polishing drum. My latest efforts are in a thread on Nopistons.com, all done with a dremel. I prefer the dremel because it is lighter and easier to control.
