I know about the ones that are available,i was wondering which ring filer is a good one.i dont want the very expensive one summit has,motorized.I would like to get one that you can set and get the same results on every ring,and not have to keep checking everytime i touch the file.If you know what i mean something a little less time consuming.i was looking at the summit 906000 ring filer,but wanted to here from so guys on here first.

I have one of the manual (hand crank) ones from powerhouse. I have done four engines with this filer and have no complaints. I only file one side of the ring so the other side can be used to ensure a square cut on the ring. After a while you get to know how many cranks it takes and you can get it quite close on the first try. I'm Quite fussy so it takes me about eight hours to to fit all eight bores.
