With an answer like that you are saying no one should ever attempt something they have never done before. Maybe he wants to learn for himself, geez.ĭo your research, consult with experts, and buy quality parts. Nick is good at what he does.spent many years making some mistakes, and I will guarantee your 'first' case will not be good. hence why you have not received any replies. This is not something you can 'learn' over the internet. If you have never used a line bore tool before.you shouldnt start now! Throw it away, forget you never owned it, and pay Nick or Rimco or others to do this task for you. Lets see, Pay Nick $2000.00 to fly out to Wasington to set up bar to do one case or pay Nick $100.00 to bore a case at his place. Thank You very much.Īfter reading some of these forum questions / answers I would enjoy watching some of these people work on there car!!!!!!!! ( I could use a good laugh ) If someone out there have used or know how to use this tool (this particular model), please, advise me.

Also, which direction should the bar turn? Clockwise? Do I start from flywheel direction towards the front or do I start from the pulley side toward the back. The specific thing that I need help with is how to feed or turn the bar to start cutting, I can’t figure out where the handle go (or the drill adapter), Does it go on the front of the case? I tried that but neither the handle or the drill adapter will fit on it, both of these pieces will fit perfectly on the other side of the bar (where the hydraulic attachment goes on, flywheel side of case), the hydraulic part is like an extension of the shaft it has a screw to release pressure, it does not go around the shaft and will not fit in the hole in the front of the shaft (pulley side of case) neither. I really want to try this line boring tool myself. Others would prefer leave this kind of chores to a machine shop. Also found comments that favors the use of Porta tool brand and others that prefer the True line brand. I purchased a Porta Tool line boring tool, (used), it did not come with any instructions and none of my vw buddies that I know could advise me in how to use it, I have searched the forum site for info on this topic, and I found useful tips on settings the cutters and other precautions, etc. Posted: Mon 11:09 pm Post subject: How to use a Porta Tool line boring tool (Old style?)
