Key Features

  • Wide Boring Capacity — Supports boring range from 1.25″ to 13.75″ (32 – 350 mm), covering a broad span of engine blocks.
  • Heavy-Duty Construction & High Load Capacity — The machine supports up to ~2,640 lbs (1,200 kg) workpiece, making it suitable for large, heavy engine blocks.
  • Large Table Size & Long Traverse — Table surface: 83.9″ × 17.7″ (2130 × 450 mm), lengthwise traverse up to 79.7″ (2025 mm) — ideal for long in-line blocks or V-blocks.
  • Variable Spindle & Feed Speed — Spindle speed 50–1,200 rpm, variable boring feed, and stepless table traverse give the operator control and flexibility for different block types/materials.
  • Milling Capability — Comes with a standard milling head (300 mm / 11.8″) and supports optional wider heads (up to 400 mm / 15.7″ or more), with milling length capacity up to 68″ (or ~1725 mm), giving ability to mill deck surfaces or large block surfaces.
  • Durable Motors & Heavy-Duty Drive — Spindle motor (5.5 hp / 4 kW), separate motors for boring feed and table feed — built for shop-level reliability and long-term use.

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.
