X-Head Porting....

Thanks for the info guys... I havent touched the heads since last week... unfortunately I made a dumb mistake. I bought the other grinder from HF, but didn't pay to much attention and the grinder only goes up to 5/32in burrs, so my 1/4 burrs don't fit...

So I've been searching for an attachment to run my larger diameter shank burrs. Other options would be take it back and get a dremel that I can make accept 1/4 shanks, or buy smaller diameter shank burrs.


IMO, smaller than 1/4 shank and you will bend them pretty easy when you lean on them. HF won’t take that back so you can get something bigger than a dremel???

I tried the Fordham when I started gunsmithing because that was all the rage. Luckily, there was another gunsmith about a mile from me who let me try his. Didn’t work for me. But...you have to use what works best for YOU and not anyone else.

You could try some 5/32 shank burrs...I don’t think I’ve ever even looked for them.
