Re: Valve Grinder
well i dont have any pics, but it is a powered unit, you clamp the valve into a drill/lathe type unit and there is a grinding wheel that is also mounted to the table, then you just set what angle you want and grid away, lol ok its not that simple, but im sure you can get the idea

Re: Valve Grinder
I hand grind the valves at work, before putting them into the car..to make sure they seal correctly..i don't have a fancy machine. It would be nice to have though..

Re: Valve Grinder
He is probably grinding them with a surface grinder. You could do a pretty good job that way with a good wheel, dialled in collet and nice sine plate. It is not going to be professional quality though.

Re: Valve Grinder
no, you put them in a drill chuck, and against a grinder, with a semi-soft wheel, and resurfacing polish crap, made for valves..
