When people start in with their OPINIONS ... I simply ask if they have any EXPERIENCE... because to me one is FACT and one is GUESSING... I will let you decide which you would rather base your decision off of 🤷‍♂️

Brilliant! Some basic ideas of things to do would be great next. Not everything you do but some mild porting that you can put back on the saw and tell the difference as a beginner.

I ported my 1970 Yamaha R5 and got 91 hp on the dyno a long time ago. Been using rotary tools of all kind both at work and personally for 40 years and never knew they could bite - HARD. I was holding a stainless steel item in a pair of vice grips using a 1/2 inch single cut ball burr in a big Milwaukee die grinder. My hand was about 4 inches from the work. It jumped and bit my thumb knuckle to the bone.When you said you let it catch your shirt regularly I thought of that. It's such a little tool and the thought never crossed my mind of how dangerous it is until the blood started flowing.

This is an awesome video, the best way I’ve found for getting the aluminum out is a lye solution, works great if you don’t have a wire wheel. Also, I tried a tonsiled intake after watching your video and I am a believer in it now.

Longtime user of multiple rotary tools. Dremels suck in general, went thru many of em before I graduated to big boy rotary tools. I prefer a router speed control switch vs the foot pedal control though, never could get used to the foot control. Awesome video!

Hey john! I use the same tools you do, and I use an upside down pop can bottom, and fill it with WD-40, then dip my burs in it (while its turning slowly) occasionally as I'm porting to keep them from loading up. love your videos brother!

Like it man! When you mentioned the ole shirt snag... I felt that 😅. Better than the ole "i set the handpiece on my crotch with my foot still on the pedal" , that will snap ya back into reality real quick . I like using Diamond impregnated burrs for the last couple tenths of a mm on the combustion side because they won't chip the Nikasil or other plating liners. Great Vid

If you haven’t done one already a video of what you could do to improve the saws performance by cleaning the ports without doing the full port job would be good.

Excellent video friend! Right now I am looking for a rotary tool mainly the use that I am going to give it is chrome and to carry car cylinder heads, open manifold ducts, etc. I was going to take a dremel but a friend told me that for the job that I want it has revolutions but not so much power and it ends up burning, what better way to use a drill for that type of work and I wonder if you could use it since the carbides I use to remove metal are 6mm or there would be a lack of power.

Hey John. Just wanted to thank you for all of the great information you put on this video. I have a question for you. I have looked all through eBay and cannot find the really small head diameter 90 degree tool you have mentioned. Is there a specific name I should be searching for? Keep up the good work. Hopefully I will hear back. Thanks and have a blessed day.

@ecstans07 2 жыл бұрын

I have a cheap Chinese 90 hand piece. It does work but it needed some modification. It did not fit on the flex shaft or accept 1/8” bits without a little drilling. The bearings are a little gritty. That said it does work. I’ve only done a few cylinders with it. Im not a pro so for the price im good with it. I doubt it would stand up to every day use.

@DaveyBlue32 2 жыл бұрын

Drip 7 drops of 3in1 or air tool oil or a 10wt machine oil down through the tool then pop it onto your shaft and it’ll help it lasts much longer…you need to oil before each use and really if doing a cylinder in one setting I’d oil in between too!!! 10w30 is better than nothing… 6 drops… 👍😁

Pretty good video kid. It’s funny to hear your story on your first port job with a electric hand drill that’s where I started out 1976 I decided to port my 1975 Honda CR 125 cylinder with an old electric aluminum bodied one speed electric hand drill was it a successful sort of it was probably in my own mind. I swear the bike was a lot more peppier and faster. I even took a little off the head by gluing sandpaper to the top of the dryer for it was a pretty flat surface and I was only a kid and I think I was 13 years old enough of my talking. I enjoyed your video. Thanks.

The little yippon for $75 bucks apiece are really great…unfortunately out of 4 two had a ugly thread on the little collets so they don’t screw into the handpieces… still haven’t got back through the allbabba or whatever to get the seller to send over a couple more collets… unlike the quality Foredom handpiece you can’t disassemble to clean and oil…so you just do 5-7 drips through your tool to keep them oiled up… you should oil your handpiece before each use and your spring in your shaft gets grease depending upon your use… I’m every few months… I made jewelry for 20 years before I got into the saw’s 13 years ago… I generally use a little dish soap in a little bit of water as a burr lube that helps them not get loaded quickly too! A old denim… 12” long jeans leg with the top and bottom edges stitched up with a couple bags of dry beans …a little homemade bean bag as a prop pad is a great little thing that anyone with a sewing machine can help with… I used some dry brown sand in one too and it’s good too…. I was really crazy in the beginning and I’d measure the intake window volume and the exhaust port window volume’s with damp sand and a gram scale… comparing their relationship with the cylinder volume and the combustion chamber volume’s… LMFFAO!!! Great video…. I’d probably have to chunk a little piece of 600 in the mandrel and polish that scratch out… one of my favorite parts of this whole deal is cleaning the aluminum transfer out of good own cylinder’s and saving them as the quality of the aftermarket stuff is absolutely disgusting… for the $ they are asking…it’s nuts… titanikel is just flaking turd fodder!!! It blows compared to an OEM Stihl cylinder lining!!! Keep kicking azz!!!

Make sure that you drop 6 drops of oil down through your tool before you pop it on your shaft…3in1 or machine oil… air tool oil or 10w30 if that is what you have… you want to oil before each use and if you go more than an hour…hit it again…they will last way longer with oil… I use Amsoil engine builders lube and I’ll shoot some down through and run it pointing down and you’ll hear the gears go quite!! 👍😁

Chrome is far more susceptible to chipping (this is from what I've gathered recently to do with porting saws, I'm a heavy diesel mechanic and I know chromed liners are fragile due to it, have heard nikasil is more forgiving in comparison. Still a brittle material given its requirements)
