Looking for Used Valve Seat Grinder Setup

Looking for Used Valve Seat Grinder Setup

Many of you may encounter the problem of finding exhaust valve seats at an angle of 37.5 degrees. Unfortunately, finding stones ground to that specific angle can be a challenge. Investing in Neway cutters tailored to these angles could cost around $400, but they do offer the right tools for the job.

It's essential to be aware of the interchangeability among different stone grinders. Sioux seems to have a strong following in this domain, making it a reliable option.

Stone Angle and Diameter Considerations

Using a diamond-tipped wheel truing fixture can help adjust the stone’s angle, typically requiring three different stones. This allows you to match the seat contact area to the valve face’s center, often specified at a 0.5-degree variance to promote cooler operation. The stone diameter must also fit within the head's pocket area, demanding various diameters for intake and exhaust valves, generally leading to a need for six different stones.

I haven't engaged in much diesel engine work, but Goodson Tool offers stones specifically composed for the hard seats found in diesel engines. Given this, the $400 package previously mentioned is quite reasonable, even factoring in shipping costs.

For those wondering about the machine's ability to grind multiple angles on valve seats, it is achievable with different stones used sequentially. I already possess a complete set of Neway carbide valve seat cutters in various angles for cylinder head work. In the future, I may adapt hardware from a B&D setup in conjunction with these Neway cutters for use with a Bridgeport. Additionally, I have acquired a Quick-Way valve grinding machine to explore its potential for sharpening machine tools.
