I buy carbide to rough it out, then clean it up with a hard stone.
 
You can cut the aluminum with just high speed steel .Once you hit the liner chances are carbine to rough ,a stone to finish ,Cratex to polish followed by felt fobs and compound to shine it like a mirror .

You will have better luck roughing out with a cutter that has larger flukes else it will clog tighter than a bulls behind at fly time .This causes you to have to stop ,cuss a bit and clean the cutter out before you go any farther ,They won't cut all clogged up .

Another tid bit ,you often times will have better luck not running the rotary tool at wide open .A little slower allows the flukes to clean out better for some reason .
 
Idunno if that tells you just how much I enjoy running the 372. :D
I already own 3, ranging from 1.5-10 years old and they all run strong. And I also have many hours running the Stihl 440 and 460 but I don't own either of those. :P
 
Ya done good Brian!!!
Thats a lot less than having bought one and then geting it ported!!
Congrats on the buy!
 
For anyone buying a tachometer, I did some research, and bought a TT20K, from Design Technologies. www.tinytach.com. It seemed to offer the best bang for the buck, and also has a high refresh rate. It was around $95 delivered quickly to my door.
 
Dave beat me to the post about the DTI.

Tachometers are a whole subject in themselves. Those ones from Baileys are cheap, but they don't take very fast readings. One with a memory for the highest rpm is real helpful, like DTI tech one that Amicks superstore sells. It's an excellent tach, works on two and four cycle gas, and some diesel engines. It has a very fast readout update at .5 seconds. Wireless and can be used with the attachment wire that comes with it. Measures up to 20,000 rpm. At $85, I highly recommend it.
 
thanks for the tips guys

here it is, dont laugh to hard:D

That is absolutely classic Willie! Thanks for sharing that. Oh and I took your advice on low stumping that tree and just ground the top off with my grinder.
