Ya, I used it at BTR racing not a little Bport. Its a older cincinnati VMC. Got a big table, holds lots of tools (20+ I think). Check out the fixture in the back, holds blocks along the main center with a big ground bar in the mains and cam bores. So all the bores are 90* and 45* off the block center. And decked after holding the block in one setup, shows how off alot of bores are.

I only use good aluma and single cut carbide not, no double or light duty stuff but you need to have a lot of hours in to control them with the tq of ele. I get them Long 6inch and cut them down. get them for carbide selcet.com

They really thows chips, and you can rough out a port to shape and size fast. No time getting there, Its ALL measuring it, and going to that size (cheap telescope gauge kit for HF) making tools to check other spots. But rolls just for fishish, pass oerv quick. (the orange 3M ones) not really removing anything or shaping at all. Just the strait wall really. Use them more as flap rolls to make it look all nice.

That is a pretty good pile of material laying there.
I have always used die grinders. I find them to be more maneuverable and less fatigue from the weight. Also, those big electric tend to create resistance to certain strokes because they have so much mass spinning inside.
Your work looks very uniform and all your walls look nice and straight. Did you measure the cross sectional area all the way to the short side radius?
