AMC-Schou CRG-100 Cap & Rod Grinding Machine

The CRG-100 is a precision cap- and connecting-rod grinding machine designed for engine builders and machine shops that demand exact-fit bearing caps and rod alignments. Its purpose is to bring oversized or rough-machined caps/rods back to spec by grinding (or angle-grinding) matching faces to ensure perfect alignment and smooth assembly. Compatible with a broad range of rods and caps, this machine streamlines prep work and helps maintain accuracy – making it an essential part of a professional rebuild line when combined with line-boring or block-machining equipment.

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.
