X-Head Porting....

Here are the burrs I use. They ain’t purdy.

The two burrs in the left have been bent SLIGHTLY to try and get the burr finish like Larry Meaux and Chad Spier (and others) use. I haven’t been successful with the burr finish. Also, using those burrs make the grinder vibrate in you hands and that makes it near impossible for me to use them for very long.

Once you figure out what shape and size of burrs you need to get the shapes you want, it doesn’t take very many to do it.

I have paper rolls, flapper wheels and a small belt sander is use pretty much for intake manifold work.

I also had some cross buffs but I used them up and never bought any more. Guess maybe I need to get some more of those because I like them for certain things.


Slow speed, drill motor with the standard worn bearing deal is magic for that...otherwise its time consuming decelerating and letting it bounce around to divot.
