110V and OR Manual Valve Seat Boring Machine ..Bore /Cut HEADS to accept new VALVE SEATS.

[John Deere D]

Has anyone used and or would recommend such a TOOL, as in Portable?
A specific brand you would recommend?..as in Portable?

NEWAY does not seem to manufacture such tooling as I'm looking for,as per below.

110V and OR Manual Valve Seat Boring Machine ..Bore /Cut HEADS and or Engine Block to accept new VALVE SEATS.​

Pictures below are of a 110V Valve Seat Boring Machine ..Bore /Cut HEADS and or Engine Block to accept new VALVE SEATS.

HOWEVER,the pics are of tooling manufactured OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA......




I own, and have used the NEWAY seat Cutting manual tooling and am 100% satisfied.

W9 McCormick Tractor.

And now own NEWAY seat Cutting manual tooling to cut seats in my Massey Harris Pony...

​

Thanks
Bob..........

Don’t do it enough to get good at it.
I Just take to the machine shop and have them put the steel inserts ,whatever else it needs , also put in a ,with three angle grind to make the engine come alive. Worth every penny .

No Sir.........W9 used for some Summer fallow. Increased rear Rims/Ties. 18.4 X 34..
As W9 has nor fenders...no problem with higher tires...plus rims are OFF set.

Do you put the three angle grind on your valves?

 

[John Deere D]

No Sir.Just the Valve Seats.....

560 that is good but around me people/shops that do this stuff is getting scarce. I to have bought a lot of stuff to do my own, just because its not as easy to farm it out.

NEWAY is the best way

I've got an old Bench model valve grinder and an electric seat grinder with a lot of valve guide rods and stones my BIL gave me long before he passed. We did a lot of valve jobs with it. Haven't used for years and probably never will again. I would sell it but nobody seems to want one now. Guess It will have to sit in my shop until I kick the bucket, then probably it will end up in the junk yard.

Ive been looking for a Van Dorn set... it wouldn't happen to be that, would it?

I can't remember without digging it out but it was an expensive unit when new.

I have an electric seat grinder with rods, stones etc. It's been sitting in my barn since I got it at least 15 years ago. I got it free from a family friend. I think he mainly did 2 cylinder JD stuff with it. I've never even had it out of the metal case it came in to see what's all there. Gonna have to take it out one of these days and practice some. Been since tech school since I've ground valves or seats. I was hoping to buy a valve grinder from another family friend but he passed away before I was ale to. He had 2 of them. Wonder if they are still in his shop. His kids wouldn't have a clue how to use them, I don't think anyway. Gonna have to ask about them some day.

Bought this all from an estate of an old time mechanic back about 45 years ago. Have used it quite a bit over the years. 110 vt. powered of course. The seat grinding equipment is Sioux brand. The valve face grinder is KRW brand. It was all in good condition when I bought it and has served me well. I have no one in the family that would want it or know what to do with it. I guess it will end up in my estate sale. That or I’ll have to start selling off tools when I can no longer use them.

 

[Fritz Maurer]

Ford manuals from the twenties always mentioned KRW tools.

 

[rustred]

Do you put the three angle grind on your valves?

that is the standard operation is using 3 angles on the seats, how else would you get the valve seat width correct and in the correct position on the valve. you cant just grind a 45 and say good.

I have been installing hard seats with K-line KL-3450 tooling for a long time. I'm not sure if they still make it? There are several pitfalls you must avoid. Virtually all hard seat installation tools are guide piloted this the valve guides MUST be put into shape first. The next pitfall is there is two basic systems, cutter to size with .002-3 oversized rings and cutter undersize .002-3 with to size rings. Obviously you cannot mix and match these. Next pitfall is being sure there's enough material in the head to install your chosen hard seat, hit water jacket with cutter = head junk. You do not need a valve and seat machine to use K line tooling but you do need a GOOD drill press with slow gearing and the table square to the spindle or a Bridgeport. Even though it has positive stops and is guide piloted and CAN be done with a hand drill and head sitting on a bench Personally there is no way I'd trust doing it that way too much at stake and too many ways to screw it up. From reading your posts here over the years you do things right, good luck!
