Im going to be buying a rotary tool for modifying my cylinder head. Things like opening chambers and ports etc.


Is dremel the best? Seems like the most recognised. This is for occasional use.

I bought one from lidl and it last 2 minutes before it shit itself.

Turbo parts collector at the moment, almost ready.

I've ruined 3 dremels now. Been using them for light body work - mainly cutting steel with the small cutting disks.

Dremels cant be used for anything other than 'light' work. You need a die grinder

I seriously doubt it!

I always assumed that head grinding was done with air-tools.

Air die grinder.. I bought a cheap one years ago. It's the most versatile tool I have. When I finish with 1mm cutting discs in my angle grinder I use them in my die grinder and get the same ammount of work out of them again

That mini is determined to Kill me!!!!

Axeminster power tools do a good die grinder for £20 but the stones that come with it are shit, buy some separate 60 grit stones and your laughing :) just take your time if never done it before and you will be fine
