Key Features

  • High-Performance Spindle: Equipped with a 5.5 hp (4 kW) stepless motor, running from 50 to 1,200 rpm — ideal for both boring and finishing.
  • Variable Boring Feed: Infinitely adjustable boring feed (0.8 – 59 in/min) allows precise control over material removal.
  • Rapid Spindle Retraction: Quick spindle retraction minimizes non-cutting time and boosts shop throughput.
  • Heavy-Duty Table: Features a 60″ × 17.7″ (~1525 × 450 mm) table with long traverse (53.1″ / 1350 mm) and crosswise movement.
  • Powerful Milling Capability: A 500 mm (19.7″) milling head with two CBN (cubic boron nitride) cutters is standard – optional wider heads are available.
  • User-Friendly Control Panel: Mounted on a swivel arm for ergonomic access. Controls are grouped logically (spindle, boring slide, table) for intuitive operation.
  • Tooling & Clamping:
  1. Hardened tool holders with high-speed inserts for precise boring.
  2. Quick-action clamps designed especially for in-line cylinder blocks.
  3. Universal boring stand with 60° and 90° V-block fixtures.
  4. Adjustable rollover fixture for handling block orientation.
  • Tool Grinder Option: The TG-1 tool grinder (150 mm / 6″ wheels + diamond lap) ensures accurate carbide tool angles and long tool life.

Ready to Make the Right Equipment Choice?

Built on Real Engine-Rebuilding Experience

Decades before today’s engine shops trusted our equipment, Tony was already deep in the craft — rebuilding motors, machining blocks, and pushing for better precision.

A local newspaper once featured him as a standout young machinist, noting his drive, attention to detail, and obsession with doing things the right way. That same passion would eventually shape our company’s values.

Today, that commitment lives on in every machine we sell, every customer we support, and every shop we help succeed.
