    Ill be porting my iron gt40 heads over the winter (hopefully) and I have a good pneumatic die grinder, but at home I dont have an air compressor worth a crap, so it doesnt do me much good. Does anyone make a good electric die grinder? I wont be doing full-on race porting or anything, but I would like to do some bowl blending and port matching at least, which is a little more than a dremel can handle. :mad: Basically Im looking for a Dremel on steroids.

    Sweet! Thanks! At the risk of sounding ignorant, I didnt even know those companies made something like that. A friend of mine was looking for one too, and said he never found a good one. So of the Makita, DeWalt, and Milwaukee, which one is the best quality? I think I like the Milwaukee since its rated at 4.5 amps, but that may be overkill for what Im doing. I will say this much; we replaced our newish DeWalt electric impact at work with a Milwaukee and the difference in power and feel of quality is amazing.

    I don't have any experience with any of them, just looked them up for you. All 3 are quality names.

    I'm a big Milwaukee fan. The others mentioned are good too. You'll never regret buying quality tools. Just don't go cheap and buy one at Harbor Freight. It probably won't last through the first head.
