Porting tools list...

I've narrowed the final tool list down to a fraction of it's original size thru trial & error experimentation with over $1k of porting tools.

This list should provide everyone with enough abrasive & polishing tools to do a 2.8 12V intake manifold with minimal waste or over-stock. Every item on the list is provided with part numbers/prices and can be ordered from Mondello Technical School at 1-888-mondello (666-3355). You can also peruse their site at www.mondello.com and feel free to supplement your order if you see anything you might want to play or experiment with.

ABRASIVES:

Flap wheels: 1" diameter 1/4"x20 threaded shaft
FW60 (x5) $4.ea
FW80 (x5) $4.ea
FW120 (x5) $4.ea

Kay Rolls:*
*(can replace cone/cylinder cartridge rolls from Eastwood if you havent ordered them). Far easier/better to use and last over 5x as long. I wish I'd had these 25 years ago!

KRS-10 (x1= pkg of 10qty) $22.

POLISHERS

Cross Buffs:

CB3-10 (x1=10pack) $9.
CB4-10 (x1=10pack) $9.
CBM2 (x1) mandrel for Cross-Buffs and Flap Wheels

**** End of Mondello list ******

The below part(s) are from the Whitney Tool Co. and are collet extensions allowing deeper reach into the intake manifold than standard arbors allow. They come in two lengths and are sold in two parts, ie; extensions/collets. The 9" may be considered an option as there's minimal use for that much reach in our manifolds, but there is some and no other way to get to those deep runners. Collets are interchangeable between the two extensions but you may want to order one for each extension for faster tool changes. These are exquisitely made, precision-ground ultra close-tolerance, high precision tools that should cost 10 times this much. But shhhh, don't tellem I said so.

96001 4" extension (x1) $14.95ea
96004 9" extension (x1) $15.30ea
96024 collet (x1 or 2) $9.35ea
