Allo friends!

It's been a while since I posted. Don't have any good questions or any decent advice to anyone at the moment, so thought this might be a decent idea for a post.

Let's see some glamour shots of everyone's porting tools! I think that workspaces/garages/toolboxes etc might be fun to see too. I don't have any REAL porting tools yet (Although I can borrow) but plenty of others... I'll post a pic of my workspace when I get on the other computer.

I think it's interesting to see what everyone has to work with. At home, I'm working out of a tiny falling apart little tin shed. At work, I have a nice air lift, good tools, etc...

Glad you liked my garage :). This could be a fun and informative
thread.. more garage and porting tool pics?

On the tool topic, I was looking at Dremmel angle attachments, but
they seem to be too big for 50cc. I like Big B's tool.
 
Dremel attachments are to big. Even for 70cc cylinders.

My garage issn't that special. But really stuffed.

1x Honda CBR900 Fireblade
1x Aprilia RS50
1x 100cc GoKart
5x bikecycles
1x my project
1x compressor
1x fridge
1x wallstand with bits and pieces

+ all other shit you save in your garage.
AND I do not have that big garage!
 
Makita diegrinder 1/4" shank
Dremel 395 Multipro with Workstation
Dremel Mototool Professional

lots & lots of carbide burrs, silicon carbide, aluminum oxide & diamond shaft mounted stones to last me years, no pic right now it's not a right time to take a pic. :D
 
Don't wanna open a new thread so I'll put my question here.
Do you chamfers the port edges when porting nikasil cylinders?
For example Jennings strongly suggests chamfering the port edges, especialy the exhust port but wouldn't that make the aluminum scratched by a piston ring when ring protrudes into the port. Stock exhaust port on my 180cc piaggio engine has such a nice chamfers but ther are made earlier in a production cycle and coated with nikasil so if make the port larger I'll remove the nikasil from the edges.

This is the shop I work in. The workstation on the right is mine. :) I took a photo of the toolbox too, but it came out kind of blurry. I have a gettho setup at home... I guess that's what happens when you have to bring all your good tools to work.

Just one thing:

When you post that large pix, put the tagcode between [ir]link[/i r]. Then it will be resized automatically :)

Just got this in the mail the other day. It uses latch type burs and stones, so the going is terribly slow, but it can reach anywhere inside any cylinder I've come across. :) I'll be getting a stronger handtool soon. I'm using a Foredom SR series motor hang up style w/ foot control.

I've got more photos on the way, but time is short this morning. :)

Here is a photo of the burrs, in comparison to a 70cc cylinder. I'll try to find time to get a photo of the motor, etc. :)
