port and polish
Thursday, August 28, 2008 4:26 PM
What bits should i use for my dremel for a p&p i got an extra throttle body to practice on so i was just wanted to figure out what to use.

It takes 8,460 bolts to assemble an automobile, and one nut to scatter it all over the road

The dremil is great for polishing using the brass brush attachment, but the dremil I have used doesn't cut it for porting.

I use a high power drill with a stone attachement shaped like a cylinder.
I also use a ball shaped stone attachment.

Those work a lot better.

The dremil will go through too many bits and take too long.

I have not found any stone bits for a dremil that lasts more than 30 seconds, they all disintegrate.
