Die Grinder alternatives???
 
I would like to use a die grinder to port match my HF manifold to my D16a6. But i do not have an air compressor to actually use the die grinder. Is there any electric grinder that is strong and can help me with my project?

Dremels are cheap and work ok. But if you plan on doing some good porting in the future go with one of these

there is a guy on ebay that is selling a box of 3 elec. die grinders ( i think they are makita's)

the starting price is always $0.99 and usually never goes above $10, and shipping is about $20

so its normally a great buy and you can sell the other 2 to friends or give as gifts.

If you wanna port heads, old dumore's with the handle and a speed controller are the only way to go. I've seen them on ebay for pretty cheap.
