Built to last.

Cold day in Texas and it’s a good buy plus it will still work if cleaned up, I have one 😊

works like a charm.

Thanks for video! I have a Sioux 655 valve grinder, it needs the valve stem chamfer fixture. I did not see you chamfer the valve stem. This step is very important as the chamfer is what centers the valve in the chucks v grooved depth gauge…ps. On the Sioux chamfering fixture is held by clamping on the right side of the machine.

Its missing on mine. I've been looking for one.

in my opinion it's the best valve grinder made. I have ground many valves using one in an earlier time. And yes the little lever on the right is for a diamond nub to dress your facing stone. The quick chuck was real nice addition, especially when you were grinding... oh say... 10 sets of valves at a wack. My boss used a light cutting oil in the lube pump system. I don't remember having a chamfering attachment anywhere. For chamfering the stem we simply spun the valve stem on the outside radius of the facing stone by hand.

Thanks!

The right side of the machine is in fact for a rocker arm attachment, as well!
