I am looking at one of thes case/head cutting tools for some head machining I need to do. If anyone has bought one I would like to hear about it. Seems like a good tool to have for home workshop use.

I had a Berg one that was a breeze to use a real quality tool that was used for hemi cutting on a drill press, but I don't think they are accurate enough for case or head seal surface as you can't guarantee the same for neighboring cylinders.

There's a hemi cutting version and a fly cutting/case boring version. Not a cheap tool though. US$400+
Dont know if its worth buying it or just keep using machine shops.
Anyone in Brisbane you would recommend for head work?

not good enough to face or bore the case unless your not fussy,
Ok for the heads though

I am VERY particular who I use for heads and machining, in Bris use Crankshaft Engineering Ph 3806 7488, or Swft Racing Engines Ph 3277 9792.
