Default porting throttle body

i am going to port my throttle body and have a few questions. i already read all the write ups. do i just use a regular bit on my dremel? do you only dremel around the lip and sand the rest? i understand you dont have to take off alot. just make it smooth. can somebody post some close up pictures of before and after?

thanks

when you port it do you take the ridge off the top and bottom? and dremel around the rest to smooth it out? do you have to take the flap off? also what do you guys use to polish it
