I bought this: 4292A56 from mcmaster carr. It was like $20 shipped, and did wonders for my turbo mani.

I just picked up a micro 1/8" air-powered die grinder to do some headwork with. My old clunky die grinder with my long porting bits is just too bulky for what I'm doing. Gonna try it out tomorrow. 56,000 rpm's with a 2cfm usage @ 90psi

interesting. That's small enough for most smallish compressors to handle. I think my 30g unit's pump puts out like 7scfm @90psi

Yes, small enough, many people would say, but trust me, that thing will get the air compressor charging all day. All that waiting for the air compressor to get fully recharge will drive you nuts!

I'd rather go electric.

Just buy a bigger compressor I love my 60gallon Ingersol-Rand. Bought it for $165 at a tag sale. That and a $15 harbor freight die grinder, can't go wrong.

Yeah if you don't have a compressor to handle it go electric.
