mopar1rules Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) can someone post some pics of the tools they use for porting? i'm tosing up the idea of doing my own porting with a race logic stage 2 template, and would like to see some pics of the tools you guys have used to do your own porting. anyone have some good pic shots of their own port work too? how about even a used stage 2 template that someone would like to sell?

D-man Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 Dremel, files and sand papper. work slow. you can take it off but you cant put it back on. Quote
mopar1rules Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Posted July 18, 2008 what's the best/easiest way to polish the exhaust port? Quote
Snopczynski Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 I have a set of brand new race logic templates I never used. I will sell them to you. PM me. Quote
deckheight Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 This is where I got most of my stuff http://www.ccspecialtytool.com/ Should give you a pretty good idea of what is available... Basically you will need a motor, at least one 90 ded. handpiece and at least one straight handpiece, several burrs, several grits of sandpaper rolls and mandrel and a slotted mandrel with green and red scotchbrite pads. The stuff is not cheap!!! Exhaust port polishing is done with sandpaper rolls and finished off with the scotchbrite in the slotted mandrel, unless of course you want a "mirror finish" (which BTW does absolutely nothing) then you will need polishing componds etc. I have not forgot about the other thing... Still slammed... Quote

FireHead Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 Here is an example of the setup I have used in the past: Quote
mopar1rules Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Posted July 20, 2008 whooooo shit, how many axis is that? how the hell do you get into the ports with that thing? Quote
Toybreaker Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) 5 axis right? could be 6 though. Been a long time since i played with any CNC's All i have is a foredom flexible shaft with variable speed pedal control and about 40 different burrs and mandrels for everything from sand paper to cutoff wheels. And polishing the exhaust port is completely worthless on a 2 stroke. Took forever to get my first set of cylinders like a mirror, Then i got my answer back from a reputable builder about it....

It's a 5-axis, but we did have one 6-axis mill of the same type. :geek: Quote
FireHead Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 whooooo shit, how many axis is that? how the hell do you get into the ports with that thing? ypu get in there with a CAM software, an accurate CAD model, and some fancy die and mold tooling. On OEM cylinders, you just need to remove the sleeve, then it's really easy. :biggrin: Quote
Toybreaker Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 so, you were able to get everything done to every port with just the flexible shaft? Lots of different bits and LOTS AND LOTS of patience. the transfers suck to do(the top and middle portions). A 90 die grinder would make it a lot easier to get too but then i need to buy a 3/16 collet for the grinder or get a whole bunch more burrs and such. I have 2 die grinders but i like my foredom MUCH better. better speed control and it is lighter. Quote
