I've ported several saws now with great results. However, I think I'm making more work out of it than necessary with my choice of bits.
I currently use a Dremel with a structured carbide tapered point bit to cut my ports. I only get one port job out of one before it becomes too loaded up.
I then use a round stone to put a slight bevel on the edge and then polish with a craytex wheel.
The only way I know to work on the transfers without a right-angle grinder, is to use a round stone.
Tapering the lower transfers into the bottom of the jug is really hard on my strcutured carbide bits. There's got to be a better bit. Help me out here guys.
Haywire Haywood sent me this link a long time ago, but I've never ordered from them yet. They do have a great selection though. LINK
